Mnarani Beach Cottages
We Have 29+ Years of Experience
Mnarani Beach Cottages – Where Every Stay Adds to the Story
With over 29 years of heartfelt hospitality, Mnarani Beach Cottages has grown into more than just a resort, it’s a living, breathing space shaped by the experiences and memories of those who’ve stayed with us. Nestled at the northern tip of Zanzibar, in the village of Nungwi, our locally-owned hotel enjoys a truly rare privilege: uninterrupted views of both sunrise and sunset over the Indian Ocean. Overlooking a stretch of pristine white sand and kissed by the turquoise waves, Mnarani offers not just accommodation, but a sanctuary. From lush, fragrant gardens to thoughtfully appointed sea or garden view en-suite rooms, every corner of the property reflects the care, passion, and progress of nearly three decades of dedicated service.
Each guest who has passed through our doors has played a part in shaping what Mnarani Beach Cottages is today. A peaceful escape with soul. Your presence adds value, your stories breathe life into our spaces, and your enjoyment continues to inspire daily improvements, year after year. At Mnarani Beach Cottages, we invite you to check out of the ordinary and into a place where the ocean greets you each morning, and the warmth of genuine hospitality makes you feel at home. Here, every visit is not just a getaway “it’s a meaningful part of an ever-evolving journey.”
