“The most wholesome, welcoming and beautiful.”
Our stay at the bungalows was absolutely fantastic from start to finish. Everyone went over and beyond to attend to our every need. The food was outstanding, home cooked from fresh ingredients and the service was great! We felt so comfortable and at home there, it has such a homely feeling and warm atmosphere. They arranged all taxis and excursions and nothing was too much to ask. We would recommend here to anyone and will definitely be back.

“Paradise”
We had an exceptional week at Mnana. The staff is helpful and friendly and assisted us with every request. Their advice for activities was spot-on. The location is truly picture-perfect. Mnana is well managed and exceptionally clean. We loved the swimming pool. It is well maintained with a special view. We fully enjoyed our stay. It is one of those places you recommend to all your friends. Thanks for ensuring that we had an amazing family holiday.

“Fantastic stay with breathtaking sea views!”
From the moment we arrived, we felt truly welcome. Waking up to the sound of the ocean and having the beach just steps away from our bungalow was pure magic.A big plus for the breakfast included in our stay – it was fresh and a great start to every day. The staff were always helpful, friendly, and made sure our airport transfers were handled smoothly. If you are looking for an authentic, tranquil, and beautiful place to stay on the East Coast of Zanzibar, we highly recommend Mnana Beach Bungalows. We would definitely come back!

“Good option if staying for a couple of days”
Great location if planning to visit The Rock Restaurant. Limited breakfast and dinner options which could get repetitive if staying for more than a couple of days. Lovely place to sit by the pool/beach.

“A beautifully located place with great potential, made memorable by its wonderful staff and tranquil seaside charm.”
Mnana Beach Bungalows is set in a truly stunning location and has so much potential to become something extraordinary. With a little more love and attention to detail, it could easily turn into one of the island’s true treasures. We first stayed in a sea-view bungalow where the view required a bit of effort to enjoy, but fortunately, for a small extra charge, we were able to move to one of the four beachfront rooms and the view from there was absolutely fantastic. The room itself was clean and comfortable, though the bathroom could really use a refresh. The outdoor areas would benefit from a few touches of warmth and atmosphere, perhaps some music, candles, or softer lighting to make the space more inviting in the evenings. Breakfast was simple and French in style, fresh but not particularly special. What truly makes Mnana shine is its staff. Everyone was incredibly kind and helpful, and Mohamed in particular deserves special mention! he effortlessly arranges any activity, trip, or transport you might need around the island. A real gem! With just a few thoughtful improvements, Mnana Beach Bungalows could become the idyllic seaside escape it’s clearly meant to be. However it needs some Love and personal touch
