Mnemba Island, sometimes referred to as the Mnemba Atoll (which isn’t actually correct), is an island just off the coast of Zanzibar’s main island. This spot is globally known as a world-class scuba diving spot; however, the actual island is privately owned.
If you want to splurge and stay on the island, you have to book in advance and be prepared to pay a hefty price. You can book either a private or family banda, and the resort comes with a butler and a childcare program. Several excursions are also offered, including diving, yoga, and cultural tours.
If you book a trip to go diving or snorkeling, you are in for a real treat as well. This island is protected by a color coral reef where you can see turtles, dolphins, whale sharks and humpback whales, and other wild marine life. The area is now a protected marine reserve where you can see that the wildlife is thriving.
