Barefoot luxury on a pristine beach
Thonga Beach Lodge is located far from civilization on one of South Africa's most pristine and undeveloped coastlines. Hidden in the forest directly on Mabibi Beach, the lodge is built on wooden stilts. The spacious romantic Robinson Crusoe-style suites are luxuriously furnished with bleached wood, glass and natural materials with an open and airy feel. Within walking distance, you can swim peacefully in the crystal clear, tepid waters of the Indian Ocean. In the afternoon, enjoy lunch on the veranda, followed by a siesta in a hammock. In the evening, enjoy a candlelit dinner with the soothing sound of the lapping sea water in the background. Thonga Beach lodge is a small piece of paradise on one of Africa's most pristine coastlines. Where the world can't find you...
In the heart of iSimangaliso Wetland
The lodge is situated in a very special location in the KwaZulu Natal region: in the middle of iSimangaliso Wetland which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Discover this diverse nature reserve by 4WD, by boat, but also on foot, by bicycle and on horseback. With more than 1250 fish species, the diving and snorkeling here is also phenomenal among the colorful coral reefs. You can join a boat excursion in search of bottlenose dolphins, whale sharks and manta rays. In winter, humpback whales also pass through here; in summer, many sea turtles come here.
