Mnemba Island - Exclusive Island Retreat and Luxury Lodge

Mnemba Island is a tiny dream island with the impressive accolade of being one of the most romantic and exclusive coral atoll islands in the world. Its sandy shores are surrounded by a rich, colourful reef brimming with fish, and at the island centre is a cool pine forest. The whole is run as an exclusive island hideaway, in which a few guests may feel thoroughly, luxuriously at home for the duration of their stay.

Beach Romance and Island Style

The lodge is stylishly run by Conservation Corporation Africa as a private and exclusive retreat for serious island hoppers. Mnemba aims to provide an ultimate experience of 'barefoot luxury', an entirely comfortable desert island style.

Mnemba Accommodation

Accommodation is in just 8 roomy thatched beach bandas with bathrooms set back along a soft corridor of woven coconut palm, each set back from the beach in a private clearing in the forest. All bedrooms, verandas and central living areas are atmospherically designed with light cotton nets, soft African prints and cushions, and - once the astronomical rates have been afforded - all fresh tropical cocktails, diving expeditions, water sports and fishing trips are included.

Mnemba Diving

The lodge runs a professional dive school and traditional wooden dhows from which to explore the warm clear waters and coral reefs, and guests return to their island hideaway to enjoy sumptuous feasts of fresh fruit, vegetables, seafood and meats all fabulously prepared and presented. Visitors to this most exclusive of Indian Ocean island hideaways could find themselves sharing cocktails with Mnemba-fan Bill Gates.

Most Romantic Island Hideaway?

According to Conde Nast, this is one of the world's top three most romantic beach locations in the world. There is no doubt that the place is seriously stunning and surrounded by the best beaches in Tanzania; a real pinnacle in barefoot luxury. We have never had a complaint from any client who has been to Mnemba, and considering the price, that is an unbelievable record. If you can afford it, this is a place to know and love!
