A CASTAWAY STORY

Imagine a small, perfect island with fine white sand, warm turquoise waters and slender palm trees, you are on Mnemba, off the coast of the mythical Zanzibar. This dream private island is home to a beachfront lodge with devastating charm, &Beyond Mnemba Island , which with only 12 superb bandas will let you taste the joys of barefoot luxury. The bandas have been designed using woven palm fronds, wood, stone and Zanzibar thatch. Nestled in the shade of tropical vegetation facing the Indian Ocean, the bandas are so well spaced out from one another that you feel almost alone in the world. The chic ethnic decoration is understated, playing white against the brownish hues of the natural materials, the volumes are perfect, it is paradise without any pretension. The food is utterly fresh, with vegetables and fruit from Zanzibar, and fish and seafood caught that morning... As for water sports, you will feel like a fish in water, as the island is a renowned spot for diving enthusiasts.
Extend your Tanzanian adventure with an exciting safari in Ngorongoro Crater Lodge and to Klein's Camp. Contact us to take advantage of exclusive benefits by combining properties from the &Beyond group.
