If you seek escape, privacy and don't judge a room by its marble, then Mnemba Island is your dream getaway!

About Mnemba Island

Off the north-eastern tip of Zanzibar lies the private Mnemba Island, inhabited only by guests and the staff taking care of them. Just 1.5 km in circumference, Mnemba is surrounded by an atoll of breath-taking coral reefs and boasts some of Africa’s most magnificent dive sites. The calm azure seas surrounding the island offer irresistible snorkelling, scuba diving, kayaking, stand-up paddle boarding and swimming.

Rooms at Mnemba Island

There are just 12 simple thatched bandas with all the comforts you could wish for. Each has an enormous mosquito-netted bed set under a fan, a spacious bathroom complete with a stone shower with a glass-beaded curtain, comfortable seating and a covered veranda on which to laze and read or simply lose yourself in the ocean views.

Activities at Mnemba Island

The fully equipped dive centre is at the centre of the action, offering everything you need for snorkelling, sea-kayaking and stand-up paddle boarding. If it's fishing that excites you, then fly-fishing and deep-sea fishing trips are also available. If you're visiting between February and September, take a guided visit to see threatened green turtles nesting. Look out for dolphins, whale sharks (the world's biggest fish), lots of birds and 600-odd species of coral reef fish. Or chill with a massage on the beach.
