15 Beautiful Luxury Beach Resorts Around the World - AFAR
"This tiny private island off Zanzibar is less than a mile in circumference and offers 12 spacious thatched bungalows with indoor-outdoor living (no doors) and private stretches of beach for each unit. The clear waters are ideal for snorkeling on coral reefs and sunset dhow cruises to view dolphins and sea turtles; the island also protects terrestrial species such as the suni and the critically endangered Ader’s duiker, which is being bred and safeguarded on-site. Since 2005, a collaborative Mnemba Island Marine Conservation Area initiative with local fishers has demarcated zones for snorkeling, diving, and fishing and charges recreational fees that fund community projects and benefit fishermen." - Kathryn Romeyn, Kristin Braswell, Margot Bigg, Devorah Lev-Tov
