“Eco chic villas with thatched roofes perched above a white sand beach. Individual bungalows and villas with private balconies and hammocks looking out to sea. A secluded spot offering total relaxation and intimacy for honeymooners. Plenty of sea activities, from big game fishing to scuba diving.”

Hotel review

Perched on coral rock above a strip of fine white sand, this shabby chic lodge has bungalows and villas looking out onto the reefs of the Mnemba atoll. It's a quiet place and your only neighbour is a sleepy fishing village where the hotel supports the local school. Fishing trips with the locals are a highlight while the infinity pool and beach make it a fine holiday retreat.

Recommended for

  • Beach Life

    • Right on the most beautiful beach, overlooking the Indian Ocean, with diving, snorkelling, kayaking, swimming and beachcombing.
  • Honeymoons

    • Tranquil, laid back and wildly romantic- swing on your double hammock, sip cocktails and dip in your private plunge pool.
  • Diving

    • The on site dive school, Dhow Divers, offers outings for both beginners and experienced divers on nearby the Mnemba reefs.
  • Sailing

    • Sail on the hotel dhow or with a local fisherman on his ngalawa and hopefully spot some whales and dolphins!
  • Snorkelling

    • Wonderful snorkeling all around this area for those who don't want to dive, ask at the hotel.

    • Bicycles can be organised for those wanting to explore the local area by land.

    • Kayak along the shallow waters enclosed by the surrounding reef.
