Mnarani’s handmade Zanzibar food is a must-try. Fresh fish and a wide range of spices are popular on the island, and both are featured extensively on the restaurant menu.

The kitchen offers and produces foreign meals in addition to traditional Swahili dishes. Take a look at our restaurant. On your patio, near the pool, or on the Mnarani deck area facing the sea, relax on sun loungers, sofas, swings, and hammocks. To achieve inner peace and calm, get a book from the library, a drink from the bar, and listen to the waves.

Visit the Cinnamon spa staff to experience the pleasures of a traditional Zanzibari head massage. The Mnarani experience is all about rest, relaxation, rejuvenation, and replenishment. Find out more about Cinnamon Spa.

Climb to Zanzibar House’s rooftop terrace for a stunning 360-degree view of the whole Northern portion of the island. Take in the spectacular sunsets and moonrises while sipping sundowners.

At low tide, you may beachcomb, join the locals in exploring for rock pools, or swim in the lagoon if you’re feeling more daring. You could like kayaking, snorkeling, diving, kite surfing, game fishing, or a sunset cruise. All you have to do is enquire whether these are accessible on your doorstep. Take a peek at our list of activities.
