Thanda Island - A luxury private island full of incomparable experiences

Thanda Island started with a dream to find a small, remote, uninhabited Tropical Island off the coast of East Africa. Today, a multi award winning retreat and is one of the world’s most exclusive island getaways, a paradise to enjoy in complete privacy with family and friends. It is a secluded island with a single luxurious villa and two traditional bandas (beach chalets) in the Indian Ocean.

Situated in a private marine reserve, cradled within the pristine Shungimbili Island Marine Reserve. Surrounded by protected coral reefs and crystal-clear waters, this five-hectare sanctuary is designed for those seeking total seclusion and unparalleled indulgence.

Here, guests can rest, rejuvenate and enjoy adventure sports surrounded by the warmth of the sunshine, the glitter on the water and the character of the people from neighbouring islands. Aside from swimming with the gentle whale shark; guests may dive in the largest marine protected reserve in the Indian Ocean; ride the trade winds on a traditional Arab dhow; indulge in a Swahili or Arabian feast; have a massage or copper bath on the beach and much more.

To get to Thanda Island, international guests fly directly into Dar es Salaam International Airport, where the Thanda Island team will meet and accompany guests through customs, ensuring a smooth, quick entry into this beautiful country. From Dar es Salaam, they can either fly directly to the Island by twin engine helicopter or fly to Mafia Island by fixed-wing charter plane, from where they reach the Island by boat.

This is not simply an escape; it is a rare and unforgettable encounter. It is a destination and promise of extraordinary days and romantic nights. This is your passage to a life less ordinary.
