Mnemba Island - Near Zanzibar (Overview)
Mnemba island lies 15 minutes by boat from the North east coast of Zanzibar, protected by a lagoon with over 10 miles of reefs rich in colorful fish and corals. This private island resort offers "barefoot luxury" in ten self-contained cottages, positioned discretely amid the lush tropical vegetation. This is where Bill Gates comes to unwind and savor Mother Nature's delights, on the heart-shaped splash of sand in the blue depths of the Indian Ocean. Mnemba is an Arabic word for octopus.

 

If you have ever harboured a secret wish of finding yourself the sole inhabitant of a beautiful tropical island, but without the effort of having to lift a finger to fend for yourself, Mnemba Island Lodge is just the place for you! Discover sheer, unpretentious paradise on this private island, shared with just a handful of other guests and warm, friendly staff.

 

Relax and unwind in the exclusivity of your own little beachfront haven, where simple yet luxurious bandas peep out onto unblemished sands from the dappled shade of the casuarina pine forest.
