 Barefoot Paradise
Mnemba, an untouched atoll off the coast of Zanzibar, is therapy for the spirit. Come here to unwind & savour Mother Nature's delights, on the heart-shaped splash of sand in the blue depths of the Indian Ocean. As tribute to its allure, Condé Nast Traveller chose Mnemba Island as one of the three most romantic ocean destinations in the world. Mnemba lies 2km north-east of the island of Zanzibar, a 20-minute cruise in a traditional boat. A pristine swathe of beach defines the island's one mile circumference. A protection zone surrounds the island, conserving magnificent coral reefs where giant Turtles, Ghost Crabs & spectacular tropical fish drift through the lagoons. Fresh, delicate sea breezes waft through Mnemba Lodge, lending a castaway air to the entire island. The only inhabitants of the island are lodge staff & guests, offering luxurious privacy & guaranteed exclusivity unparalleled on the African coastline. Mnemba Island features just ten en-suite banda cottages, bordered on three sides by tropical beach forest and overlooking the beach. Each exquisite banda has been hand-woven and thatched from tree branches and traditional Zanzibari palm-matting. From each room, a palm-covered walkway leads to an en-suite bathroom. Each banda also has a private verandah. The 3 night package to Mnemba is inclusive of meals, soft drinks, house wines, local brand spirits & beers, laundry service, watersports such as scuba diving [2 dives per day], snorkelling, kayaking, fly fishing, sundowner dhow cruise and windsurfing.
