andBeyond Mnemba Island

andBeyond · Private-island lodge · Mnemba atoll, 4.5km off the northeastern tip of Zanzibar

A tiny casuarina-shaded coral island circled by a protected marine reserve, occupied solely by guests and staff. Twelve open-fronted bandas, each with a private beach lounge, sit feet from shallow turquoise water; a 200-metre exclusion zone keeps the rest of the world out. Reopened in October 2024 after a Fox Browne Creative and Nicholas Plewman refurbishment, it is the most exclusive address in the archipelago.

Why we recommend it

The Indian Ocean's purest expression of barefoot, no-doors-no-windows island privacy, with a marine reserve as the front garden.

Signature
