Sindabezi Island

andBeyond Mnemba Island Lodge

Kilindi Zanzibar

Sindabezi Island is almost hidden; an idyllic bush camp camouflaged on a private isle in the Zambezi River. Sleeping only ten guests, five romantic chalets are draped in swaths of dreamy fabrics and raised over the water on wooden platforms. This unforgettable camp is built from sustainable forests and utilises only renewable resources, and neither expense nor imagination was spared in the décor and furnishings.

– Discover an unpretentious paradise on a private island off the tip of Zanzibar

Mnemba offers just ten rustic palm-frond bandas, tucked into a tropical forest fringed by a white coral sand beach. In each, a covered walkway leads to a shuttered ensuite bathroom with a huge glass-beaded shower curtain. Built-in barazas on the veranda are perfect for afternoon siestas, and private beach salas feature traditional Zanzibari lounges ideal for languid hours. Thatched dining, sitting and bar areas boast beautiful open views of the beach.

Kilindi Zanzibar features a series of whitedomed pavilion suites set within 35 acres of lush tropical gardens. It is a rarity in the world of luxury boutique hotels. Those who can break away from the privacy of their personal Eden discover a 82 foot infinity pool, massage therapy suite, water-wall cocktail bar, and white coral sand beach on the Indian Ocean for diving, sailing and snorkeling.
