&Beyond
Mnemba Island Lodge
Barefoot island paradise off the north-east coast of Zanzibar
Condé Nast Traveller Readers’ Choice Awards 2024
Wrapped in sea and silence.
Off the north-eastern coast of Zanzibar, embraced by reef and forest, lies &Beyond Mnemba Island. A world apart, it feels less like an escape and more like a return – to simplicity, stillness and sea. Zanzibar may be the doorway, but it is Mnemba Island that holds the key.
—
Here, the senses rest and the soul exhales.
—
Leave it all behind.
No shoes. No worries. Nowhere to be. Just the slow rhythm of island life, and the freedom to disappear into it. This is barefoot luxury where you’ll feel like the only soul on earth.
—
As if the island was made just for you.
With only 12 Bandas, including a Family Banda, Mnemba Island feels entirely your own. Drift from bed to beach, with nothing between you and the ocean but white sand and shade-dappled trees. Open to the breeze, each Banda offers comfort without excess and privacy without walls.
—
Let the tide set your pace.
There’s yoga in the shade, reef walks at low tide, and warm smiles that appear just when you need them. Snorkel with turtles. Sail into sunset. Or simply do nothing at all and discover how extraordinary that can feel.
—
Every stay supports the reefs and the life they hold.
—
Journeys made just for you.
Your time at Mnemba Island is only the beginning. From here, our Travel Specialists shape adventures that are entirely yours.
Recognised for what matters.
Every accolade reflects something deeper. A place that lives by the tides, honours the reefs and quietly redefines belonging.
