"This secluded isle off northeast Zanzibar is an antidote to beach crowds, with a small collection of thatch-roofed beachfront bandas recently renovated (October 2024) and a new Wellness Banda offering two treatment rooms plus a platform for yoga and sound baths. The dive program was expanded—now including clear-bottomed kayaking—and a Discovery Center showcases marine-conservation initiatives run with community partners, including a coral nursery, artificial reef restoration and a sanctuary for Ader’s duiker and suni antelope." - Laura Begley Bloom, Devorah Lev-Tov
