ROOMS AT HOTEL |
All the rooms at Mnarani Beach Cottages include a veranda, en suite bathrooms, hot and cold running water and mosquito nets, and decorated in local Zanzibarian style. There are four types of accommodation available at Mnarani Beach Cottages: MAHABA
COTTAGE Mahaba Cottage is Mnarani's romantic honeymoon accommodation, located in a private part of the hotel with its own garden and access to the beach. 'Mahaba' means romance in Swahili and this cottage is definitely romantic. Decorated in the local style with wooden floors and walls lined with traditional woven palm fronds. It is self-contained, with kitchen area (inc. fridge) and bathroom, with an open-plan design on the ground floor for sitting and relaxing, and an airy sleeping area upstairs for two people. It also has a spacious balcony, which overlooks the ocean and where sunrise can be viewed. An attractive garden fronts the cottage. To add to the comfort of this special cottage, there is also a CD player, hammock, and Arabic cushions for relaxing. THE
ZANZIBAR HOUSE - DELUXE ROOMS The ten new rooms in Zanzibar House (named after the small Islands within Zanzibar) offer superb accommodation, with a little bit extra. All rooms are en suite and a spacious twenty-five meters squared, fully air conditioned, with telephone, and fridges to keep your drinks nice and cool, as well as a tea/coffee station for your convenience. Each room opens onto a beautiful twelve-meter squared wooden balcony, for the enjoyment of sunrises in the morning, relaxation in the afternoon, and starry skies at night. For those wanting to share their holiday experience, the ground floor rooms (The Pemba, Unguja, Mnemba and Misali rooms) offer the option of adjoining rooms for groups. The first floor rooms (The Tumbatu, Kojani, Bawe and Chumbe rooms) boasts the same large space with a higher view of the surrounding seas and fringing reefs. The two Top floor rooms (Sunrise and sunset are specially designed for honeymoon couples) give you awe-inspiring sunrises and sunsets almost everyday of the year. These rooms are fully decked with wooden floors, the bedrooms open onto a balcony with a breathtaking sight: the stunning azure waters of the Indian Ocean, with traditional dhows sailing past. (You can almost hear the dhows splashing in the water while relaxing in the comfort of your own bathtub). The icing on the cake is the roof top terrace that allows you to sit under the phenomenal night skies of tropical Zanzibar and enjoy the peace and tranquility as well as a three hundred and sixty degree view of the north tip of the island.
FAMILY COTTAGES The hotel have four larger thatched roof 'cottages'. These rooms are good for couples wanting more space or families. They are en-suite with hot and cold water and two of them have an adjoining door for larger groups. These cottages are very spacious. There is an open plan ground floor with sitting area, a small kitchen area with a sink and fridge, and coffee/tea making facilities. There is a first floor mezzanine double bedroom and space for extra beds on the ground floor. The cottages can accommodate up to four people and are decorated in the local style. Each cottage has a spacious balcony on both floors overlooking the sea, where the sunrise can be viewed over the glistening Indian Ocean.
STANDARD ROOMS There are twelve standard rooms, which are arranged in pairs. Most of these rooms face immediately out to sea and some of them have air conditioned. The standard cottages are simple, but nevertheless private and comfortable. They are decorated in local Zanzibarian style and have an en-suite bathroom, with hot and cold water, and veranda. All rooms have mosquito nets and fans. Eight are located along the sea front with views to the ocean, and four are within the lush calm of the tropical garden. |

HOTEL FACILITIES |
|
The Zanzibaris love seafood - and Mnarani's restaurant reflects this. Fish is freshly caught every morning, and comes from the local fish market or direct from local fishermen. A favorite is to prepare it in traditional Swahili style, and serve it in the open air. On special occasions the hotel offers a beach barbecue. The hotel also have a small bar set among the palms at one side of the lodge. It's a great place to relax in the evenings and learn to play bao, a traditional game here in Zanzibar. GAME FISHING. SNORKELLING You can choose from two favourite snorkelling spots – one in shallow water and one deeper, for more experienced snorkellers. Swim with the dolphins (although their presence can’t be guaranteed) or go for a spot of fishing and catch your own lunch. Don’t worry if you don’t get a bite – they will buy from the local fishermen and set up a barbecue on the beautiful white sandy beach. And there’ll be plenty of time for more snorkelling after lunch – if the rest of the party is keen to do so. SUNSET CRUISE PADI DIVING KAYAKING & FISHING KAYAK SWIMMING POOL BY THE POOL |
