Located just off the northeast coast of Zanzibar, Mnemba Island is the crown jewel of luxury travel in Tanzania — a private island retreat offering barefoot elegance, personalized service, and breathtaking Indian Ocean beauty. Managed by &Beyond, Mnemba is a world-renowned destination for those seeking seclusion, privacy, and romance in one of the most pristine marine environments in Africa.
With only 12 beachfront bandas tucked beneath shady casuarina pines, the island hosts a maximum of 24 guests, making it perfect for honeymoons, celebrations, or tranquil getaways. Each banda opens directly onto a white sand beach, and guests enjoy private butler service, gourmet cuisine, and all-inclusive access to world-class marine activities.
Surrounded by a protected coral atoll, Mnemba Island is a dream for scuba diving, snorkeling, kayaking, paddleboarding, and swimming with dolphins. The surrounding reef is part of a marine conservation area, home to vibrant coral gardens, green sea turtles, and tropical fish. The ideal months are June to March, with the best underwater visibility for diving between October and March, especially for dolphin and whale sightings.
Dry months offer the best wildlife viewing, while greener seasons bring fewer crowds, vibrant landscapes, and unique sightings. Each time of year offers a different but rewarding experience.
We believe the best travel experiences begin with a conversation.
