Thanda Island
Thanda Island is an ultra-private island retreat located off the coast of Tanzania within a protected marine reserve, offering complete seclusion and exclusive use in one of the Indian Ocean’s most unspoilt settings.
The island accommodates guests across a beautifully designed main villa with five en-suite suites, two traditional Tanzanian bandas, and the private catamaran Umoja, allowing flexible configurations for families, private groups, and multi-generational stays. In total, the island can host up to approximately 24 guests across all accommodation options.
