Exclusive yet unpretentious, &Beyond Mnemba Island is an award-winning bare-foot beach paradise just off the northeast coast of Zanzibar. Be among just 24 guests at this romantic, private hideaway where the beachside bandas overlook a white coral sand beach and a pristine coral reef teeming with an abundance of tropical marine life. The island can also be taken exclusively for those special occasions.

Built-in barazas on the veranda are perfect for afternoon siestas and the beach salas feature traditional Zanzibari lounger’s ideal for lazy afternoons, with a table, ceiling fan, personal bar, two day beds and a shower.

Drink a fruit cocktail or dine under thatch by the white sands. Romantic candlelit dinners can be served to you on the beach as waves lap at your feet.

Thatched dining, sitting and bar areas boast beautiful open views of the beach and spectacular vistas of Zanzibar beyond. Baskets of fresh fruit, fish, lobsters, crabs and prawns sail into Mnemba daily on traditional ngalawa outriggers. Lunch is often served on large wooden carved Zanzibari platters heaped with delicious mezze.
 
There are a whole host of activities on offer from snorkelling, scuba diving, swimming, dhow cruises, birdwatching, fishing, watersports, walking and kayaking to massages on the beach and simply doing nothing at all.

Region

The Zanzibar Archipelago is situated on the Swahili coast in the Indian Ocean and consists of many small islands and two large ones: Unguja, referred to informally as Zanzibar, and Pemba. A gorgeous jewel in the glistening ocean, with idyllic beaches and warm tropical waters, it's easy to find tranquil beauty or party buzz (or both!).

On the glorious shoreline, you can swim or snorkel while shoals of luminous fish and pods of dolphins frolic over nearby coral gardens. Or take a trip to Jozani Forest, Zanzibar’s only national park, where you can see hundreds of different butterflies, birds and turtles, not to mention the endemic red colobus monkey.

Having such a rich colonial past, the archipelago boasts a mesmerising mix of influences from Africa, Arabia, India and Europe. Cobbled alleyways of the historic Stone Town’s old quarter captivating blend of diverse architectural styles in the mosques and houses interwoven to create this charming destination. Visit the House of Wonders or the old Turkish Baths, or immerse yourself in the lively culture by taking a trip to bazaars or local market stalls.

The magic of Zanzibar is that it is a multi-faceted destination, offering an intoxicating amalgam of perfect beaches, intriguing history, cultural diversity, tasty cuisine, exotic spices, and rich flora and fauna. Whatever you come for, you won’t be disappointed.
