Great Romantic Ocean Destination- Beach Mnemba Island Lodge, Indian Ocean

Mnemba Island Lodge is an African island paradise with just 10 guest cottages. Remember that number, because this private island is kept for the exclusive use of you and a handful of others. Mnemba Island Lodge is situated on an exclusive island just 4.5 kilometres (2.8 miles) off the north-eastern tip of Zanzibar in the azure Indian Ocean. The Lodge transfers guests to and from Zanzibar International Airport or Stone Town. This transfer is approximately 1½ hours by road, followed by a 15-20 minute transfer in open ski boats.

Mnemba Island Lodge is surrounded by an atoll of breathtaking coral reefs, and it boasts some of Africa’s most wonderful dive sites. Mnemba is renowned as one of the most romantic ocean destinations in the world, offering a privacy and rustic exclusivity unparalleled on the African coastline. Hand-woven from traditional Zanzibarian palm-matting, each of the 10 bandas have a spacious veranda and are hidden in the shade of a tropical beach forest, fringed by the pristine beaches that halo the Island. A palm-covered walkway leads to an en suite bathroom with shower and basin. Zanzibar is famous for its intricate, detailed woodcarvings and the scrolled headboards adorning the beds are created by some of the Island’s most skilled artisans.
