Welcome to a place where shoes are left at the door and the world with them. Here, time is kept by the tide. Mornings begin with fresh tropical breakfasts delivered to your Banda. The sea invites you to snorkel, swim or simply be still. Evenings unfold beneath the stars, with sushi, stories and the sound of waves as your soundtrack.
At just 1.5 km (less than a mile) wide, Mnemba Island is shared only with a handful of guests and the dedicated &Beyond team caring for them. The experience is intimate, unhurried and deeply personal. Each day is yours to shape, and every preference is seamlessly taken care of.
Set in the shade of casuarina trees, the Wellness Banda features two treatment rooms and a raised yoga deck. Here, you’ll find a curated menu of holistic experiences including breathwork, meditation and sound therapy. Therapists blend traditional and alternative practices to create space for rest and renewal.

Meals are inspired by the island itself: fresh, light and fragrant with Zanzibar’s spice-laced heritage. They are served when and where you choose — beneath the trees, in the courtyard, at the bar, or in the privacy of your Banda. Your personal butler anticipates your every need, from morning coffee to sunset cocktails at your Beach Lounge.
Relax with a signature cocktail, swap stories with fellow guests or watch the light shift across the water at the Beach Bar. Or browse the Beach Shop’s curated collection of East African beachwear, jewellery and interiors, alongside essentials such as rash guards and hats.
Wade into calm turquoise waters. Snorkel straight from the beach. Dive vibrant coral reefs, or venture further by boat with those who know these waters best.

At the Discovery Centre, meet our Wild Impact Oceans Without Borders marine biologists and Community and Conservation Rangers, and see how care translates into action. Explore the coral nursery and reef restoration programme. Log your sightings on our citizen science platform. Every stay contributes to the long-term protection of this fragile ecosystem.
Mnemba Island is a vital nesting ground for endangered green turtles, monitored daily by our conservation team. Inland, the island provides a safe haven for two rare antelope species, Aders’ duiker and the suni, whose numbers are slowly recovering thanks to habitat protection.
