This ultra-exclusive private island lodge occupies its own coral-fringed islet off the northeast tip of Zanzibar, floating within a protected marine conservation area renowned for its untouched reef. Ten thatched, open-fronted beach bandas are scattered along a crescent of powder-white sand, each designed with barefoot elegance in mind — canvas walls that roll up to the Indian Ocean breeze, outdoor showers, and uninterrupted views of turquoise water.

Life here moves to the rhythm of the tides. Days unfold between snorkelling over vibrant coral gardens, diving with resident green turtles and passing dolphin pods, and dhow sails at sunset. Meals are taken wherever the mood dictates — a private dinner on the sand, a table set in the shallows, or the open-air lounge overlooking the lagoon.

Rooted in Zanzibar’s Swahili coastal heritage and andBeyond’s conservation ethos, the island supports active marine research and community initiatives, making indulgence and environmental stewardship inseparable parts of the experience.
