About this place
This romantic, barefoot-island haven in the Zanzibar Archipelago is committed to a legacy of community upliftment and marine conservation. Located off the north-eastern tip of Zanzibar, this idyllic tropical gem offers only 12 luxuriously rustic palm-frond Bandas peeking out onto white coral sand beach from the dappled shade of the casuarina pine forest. Inhabited solely by &Beyond guests and dedicated staff caring for them, the island spans just 1.5 km (less than a mile), making for an intimate and exclusive experience. Barefoot serenity and romance define the allure, with direct ocean access, coral reef restoration projects, green turtle nesting monitoring, and world-class diving experiences.
