Mnemba-Style Luxury

Hand-woven from traditional Zanzibarian palm-matting, each of the ten secluded bandas on Mnemba Island provides an ultimate expression of 'barefoot luxury'.

Set back into the fringes of the pine forest at the island centre, Mnemba's rooms are carefully located to ensure absolute privacy, and built onto wooden platforms over the sand. Detailed woodcarvings and the scrolled headboards adorning the beds are created by some of Zanzibar's most skilled artisans.

Mnemba Suites

Your palm-woven suite is wonderfully spacious, with billowing light cotton nets and soft African prints through the veranda, wide bedroom and distant bathroom. The voluminous beds enjoy uninterrupted views of the beach and ocean, and secluded peace and distance from the nine other beach chalets set back among the trees along the eastern shore. Each banda is made of natural local materials, with a detatched, spacious bathroom accessed via a palm-woven walkway.

Each room has its own spacious veranda that is hidden in the shade of the tropical beach forest, and a private pathway onto a secluded area of the dream inspiring coral sand beach. Verandas are constructed with built-in barazas, (perfect for afternoon siestas), comfortable chairs for reading and a writing table. There are also outdoor swing beds, and private, shady beach salas with simple Zanzibari loungers.

The Communal Areas

Thatched dining and bar areas have been constructed with concientious awareness of place, curving along the beach to make the most of breathtaking sea views and spectacular coral reefs beyond.
