Surrounded by dazzling white sands and vibrant coral reefs, this tiny private island is accessible only by boat and welcomes only a small number of guests, creating an atmosphere of true peace and privacy.
The island is home to just 12 rustic yet elegant bandas, thoughtfully positioned beneath shady casuarina trees along the shoreline. Constructed using local materials, each banda features a thatched roof, open-air living areas and sandy pathways that lead directly to the beach. Interiors are understated yet refined, with handwoven palm mats, traditional Omani accents, artisan pottery and sweeping ocean views.
Dining is a highlight of the experience, whether you’re enjoying seafood-fresh lunches beneath the trees, romantic dinners by candlelight on the sand or private picnics in a secluded spot. The menu changes daily and makes the most of local produce, featuring dishes such as grilled lobster and delicately spiced curries, served with carefully selected wines and expertly mixed cocktails. Meals are offered in various scenic locations across the island to ensure every moment feels special. The relaxed beach bar also provides a sociable spot to enjoy drinks and conversation.
Life on Mnemba follows the gentle rhythm of the ocean. Spend your days snorkelling or diving among colourful reefs, kayaking beside dolphins, or paddle boarding in calm, turquoise waters. Wellness treatments can be enjoyed in your banda or right on the beach, and daily yoga sessions offer further opportunities to relax and reconnect. The island is also a haven for conservation, and guests are invited to learn more about the local projects in place to protect marine life, coral reefs and the endangered green turtles that nest here.
