Introduction

The luxurious yet rustic Mnemba Island Lodge is situated on an exclusive island just 4.5 kilometres off the north-eastern tip of Zanzibar in the azure Indian Ocean. The island itself is just 1 mile in circumference, fringed by a tropical forest.

If you have always wanted to spend your holiday on a private island, then look no further; Mnemba Island boasts wonderful dive sites, stunning private beaches and is surrounded by an atoll of breathtaking coral reefs.

The island has been ranked for years as one of the World's most romantic ocean destinations.

If privacy and rustic exclusivity are what you are after, then look no further; Mnemba Island Lodge is the place for you.

Rooms and Suites

Each of the 10 secluded and luxurious bandas (cottages) has direct access to the beachfront.

All bandas offer en-suite bathroom facilities, a spacious outdoor veranda and a private beach sala with traditional Zanzibari sunbeds, not forgetting the views out over the beach and onto the Indian Ocean.

Each of the banda does offer WiFi, so staying in touch (or boasting) with family or friends is that much simpler.

Cuisine and Wine

Baskets of fresh fruit, fish and lobsters are brought by traditional outriggers to Mnemba's shore to be prepared as exquisite and exotic delicacies.

Weather permitting, dinners are almost always served out on the beach in front of the lodge.

The cuisine at Mnemba Island Lodge will never disappoint, no matter what your tastes.
