Mnemba Island

Mnemba Island is the ultimate escape. Selected by Condé Nast Traveler as one of the three most romantic ocean destinations in the world, Mnemba surpasses all expectations. The island is an incomparable barefoot paradise: private cottages are hidden in the dappled shade. The soothing rhythms of tide and time will ease your entire being - mind, body and soul.

PEPPERED MORAY EEL PEEPING

Probably the most commonly seen morray eel around Mnemba, the peppered moray eel is a really curious one. As a result of being able to camouflage itself so well with the sand, you often see it swimming around in bright daylight. They are called 'peppered' because of the black dotted patterns on their face.
