Mnarani Beach Cottages is a small, intimate lodge on the quieter flank of the Nungwi Peninsula on Zanzibar’s North Coast. Our 37 rooms, set in a beautiful garden by the sea, are all en-suite with a/c, fans, safes and lovely spacious verandahs.

We offer a range of accommodation for the discerning traveler, from our small, cozy Standard Cottages to well appointed Deluxe Rooms, romantic honeymoon accommodation and apartments suitable for families and groups.

Mnarani Beach Cottages is owned and run by Nassor Ali, a friendly Zanzibari entrepreneur and himself a seasoned traveler. He and his dedicated team will go all the way to make you stay relaxing, enjoyable and memorable. 

Mnarani has been independently recommended by The Lonely Planet Guide, The Bradt Guide to Zanzibar and many other East African travel guidebooks.

“Friendly management, clean, comfortable, well maintained accommodation, great service and good atmosphere” (The Footprint Travel Guide Tanzania).
