24 Nov Mnemba Island resort/Galerie magazine

Posted at 16:59h in Travel

“Barefoot luxury” is a term that gets thrown around a lot in the hospitality world, but Mnemba Island, a small resort in the Indian Ocean off the coast of Zanzibar, is a true embodiment of that phrase and all it implies. There are just 12 free-standing rooms (called “bandas”) and it’s just out of the way enough to ensure a level of discretion and privacy that has made it an ideal destination for those who value such things.

01 Mar Cruising through the Fjords in Modern Luxury

Posted at 11:08h in Travel
