The Island
From above you see a teardrop of sand in a turquoise sea; a secret island with a private, exclusive-use luxury Villa personifying beach house romance, nostalgia and elegance.
Designed for a perfect summer in coastal whites, greens and blues, it is a discreet, sumptuous retreat with an expansive living area, including an indoor aquarium, magnificent wine collection, an air-conditioned gym, library and a glass rim-flow swimming pool and wraparound dining area with a 180-degree view of the ocean.
The Villa offers sublime living and sleeping areas, with all five air-conditioned suites leading directly onto the pool and outdoor living areas, surrounded by turquoise seas and silken white sands. The two traditional Tanzanian bandas (beach chalets) are furnished with beautiful, locally hand-carved furniture and fabrics from Mafia Island, in soft, natural colours.
Romantic touches during your island adventure include copper beach baths and dinners under the stars. Dining on Thanda Island is a taste adventure of delectable cuisine. Our Executive Chef contacts you ahead of your visit to discuss your menu and requirements. Adding to the island atmosphere is an outdoor BBQ, cocktail bar and pizza oven.
Thanda Island’s dedicated team, including the manager, executive chef, hostesses and butlers, housekeepers, guides and spa therapists take care of your every need. It is a home away from home, with all the comforts, amenities (including WIFI and mobile phone reception), facilities and adventures.
