Header: Mnemba Island

The oval shaped paradise that’ll make you forget about the rest of the world

An idyllically remote retreat located within the balmy waters of the Indian Ocean, Mnemba Island, Zanzibar (GPS co-ordinates: S05°49.218’ E 039°22.959’) is a perfectly placed private island that’ll make you feel like you’ve literally left the world and found your very own piece of heaven. Once thought to be the remnant of a much larger island, Mnemba is surrounded by a ring of spectacular coral reefs, just off the northern tip of the Zanzibar coast.

The ‘road to paradise’ is somewhat bumpy and often hot and humid, but well worth the effort of travelling to get to this magical oval shaped haven. A member of the &Beyond team will be at your side every step of the way to make the journey as comfortable as possible, assisting with all transfers. The real island life starts with your journey from Zanzibar!

Transfers

A chauffeured transfer will take you from Zanzibar International Airport or Stone Town in a north easterly direction through the lush and fascinating island of Zanzibar. This hour and a half journey is on good paved roads for the first hour, but the last 5 kms are on a very poor road. The journey is well worth it once you reach the launch point for the twenty minute boat ride to Mnemba Island. As there are no jetties, the boat departure and landing takes place directly to and from the beach and could involve a little wading.
