andBeyond Mnemba Island Lodge

andBeyond Mnemba Island offers a sheer unpretentious paradise – just ten rustic palm-frond bandas sit nestled in a tropical casuarina pine forest fringed by a white coral sand beach. Cooling ocean breezes waft in through glass-free windows that are open to the elements. A covered walkway leads to a shuttered ensuite bathroom with huge glass beaded shower. Built-in barazas on the veranda are perfect for afternoon siestas and private beach salas feature traditional Zanzibari loungers for languid hours on the beachfront. Thatched dining and sitting / bar areas have beautiful open views of the beach. Baskets of fresh fruit, fish, lobsters, crabs and prawns are sailed into Mnemba daily on traditional ngalawa outriggers. Romantic candlelit dinners are served on the beach with the waves gently lapping at one’s feet. Private beach dinners delight newlyweds and not-so newlyweds alike.

WHAT WE LOVE ABOUT ANDBEYOND MNEMBA ISLAND

One lazy afternoon, ask one of the staff members to teach you how to play Mbao – a traditional wooden board game.

During a full or new moon, be sure to take a walk along the beach at low tide, when the whole atoll is exposed.

Watch turtles lay their eggs on Mnemba’s sandy shores. This happens year round, however, the laying season peaks between January and August and hatchings take place approximately two months later. This is a definite must-see!

Mirroring the spiralling form of the nautilus seashell, each Banda enthuses tranquillity. Opalescent colours with dusty pink hues are elegantly framed, paying homage to the ocean’s precious coral. Cultural traditions infuse understated luxury, with locally sourced brass, marble, ceramics, and Omani antiques, creating a vibrant space immersed in natural elegance.

Each Banda also has its own private Beach Lounge, complete with a comfortable day bed, sun loungers and al fresco shower.
