Thanda Island one of the world’s most exotic Island getaways which evolved as a dream to find a remote and uninhabited Tropical Island in East Africa coast. Featuring one luxurious private villa and two traditional bandas (beach chalets) facing the Indian Ocean, it is very secluded and enjoys prime location with fantastic views of the private marine park where guests have a rare opportunity to watch sea turtle nesting and swim with whale sharks. Apart from swimming, guests can dive in the marine reserve park, indulge in Arabian and Swahili feasts, get a massage, or soak in a copper bath on the beach, to mention but a few. Situated 30km east of Tanzania mainland, Thanda Island is accessed through helicopter transfer from Dar es Salaam International Airport directly to the Island or through charter plane to Mafia Island from where you can reach the Island by boat.
