On Nungwi's quieter eastern side, near the lighthouse, Mnarani is on a low cliff with a lovely waterside terrace with the beach just below. It's relaxed and efficient, with friendly staff and small rooms in ochre-painted cottages on spacious grounds overlooking the sea. Also available are large superior rooms, a honeymoon suite and apartments for families or groups of friends.
All rooms have a balcony or veranda. There's also a swimming pool, spa and wellness centre, bar and restaurant, and local tours or boat cruises can be arranged. Mnarani's owners have strong links with the people of Nungwi and support several local community initiatives.
