Zanzibar is rich in culture and history. It has long attracted travelers from around the world. Once known as the Spice Island, it still carries the warm scent of cloves and other spices. Traditional dhows still glide across the horizon, which adds to its charm.

&Beyond Mnemba Island sits off the north-eastern tip of Zanzibar. It is a small and peaceful tropical escape. The island has only twelve rustic palm-frond bandas, plus one family banda. Each banda sits close to the white coral sand, under the cool shade of casuarina pines. As a result, every stay feels private and exclusive.

The island is home only to &Beyond guests and the staff who care for them. It covers just 1.5 km, so it offers a truly intimate experience. Moreover, the island is well known for its coral atoll and calm blue seas. It also stands out for its strong conservation work.

Guests can explore the coral nursery and the artificial reef. In addition, protected green turtle nesting sites lie along the beach. Two endangered antelope species also live safely on the island. Because of these efforts, Mnemba is both a beautiful and meaningful place to visit.
