&Beyond Mnemba Island – Barefoot Luxury on Your Own Private Island

Just off the northeast coast of Zanzibar, surrounded by crystal-clear waters and coral reefs, lies &Beyond Mnemba Island—a secluded 5-star sanctuary that redefines intimacy, simplicity, and understated elegance.

Accessible only by boat and limited to just twelve beachside bandas, this private island retreat feels like your own castaway paradise—refined, raw, and deeply personal. Thatched-roof cottages, open to the ocean breeze, blend effortlessly with the island’s natural beauty. Inside, barefoot luxury reigns: crisp linens, handcrafted touches, and panoramic views of the Indian Ocean just steps from your bed.

Days unfold at your leisure. Swim with dolphins, snorkel vibrant reefs, or simply lose track of time on a shaded lounger with nothing but the sound of the waves for company. For the more adventurous, diving, kayaking, and paddleboarding are all on offer—alongside personalized excursions curated with care and sensitivity to the environment.

Dining is tailored to your rhythm. From just-caught seafood served on the beach to elegant dinners beneath the stars, every meal is a celebration of freshness, flavor, and unhurried joy.

At &Beyond Mnemba Island, luxury is not about opulence—it’s about freedom, presence, and the quiet privilege of being completely removed from the world.

This is not just a destination. It’s an experience of profound simplicity, crafted for those who seek silence, beauty, and meaning—one barefoot step at a time.
