Nestled in the warm turquoise waters of the Indian Ocean between mainland Tanzania and Mafia Island, Thanda Island is a fully private luxury island offering one of the most exclusive and unforgettable experiences in East Africa. Located within the Shungimbili Island Marine Reserve, just south of the Mafia Archipelago, this hidden gem is ideal for ultra-luxury travel, romantic getaways, private group escapes, and elite family holidays.

Thanda Island can be booked exclusively for one group at a time, ensuring total privacy and personalized service. The island features a magnificent five-suite villa with panoramic ocean views, a glass rim-flow swimming pool, indoor aquarium, and a fully equipped gym and spa. Additional beach chalets provide room for up to 18 guests in total luxury. Every stay includes a private chef, butler, dive instructor, boat crew, and spa therapist.

Surrounded by coral reefs and a protected marine environment, Thanda offers unparalleled opportunities for snorkeling, scuba diving, kayaking, paddleboarding, big-game fishing, and swimming with whale sharks (best from October to March). A private yacht is available for island hopping, sundowner cruises, or mainland excursions.
