Basecamp Mafía Island
9.3 (45 reviews)

Basecamp Mafía Island ★★★

📍 utende street, Utende

"Myself a a friend spent three nights at Mafia Island Lodge, and loves our time there. The location is wonderful, with a view of palm trees down to the beach, and a 2 minute walk to Big Blu where all the excursions leave from. We stayed in the superior rooms which were comfortable, clean and light. Great airconditioning (essential in Mafia in Feb!) and a little private patio with views over the garden. The staff absolutely make this place. Iris the hotel manager is welcoming and warm, and all her staff, from the waiters to the Masai guards, are delightful and professional. Food was great, we went for the full board option. We especially appreciated our delicious packed lunches when out on excursions that were all in containers and with mental cutlery - no single use plastic or styrofoam, hooray! Looking forward to seeing the results of the renovations and hope to return again. Thank you, Asante Sana!"

Meremeta Lodge
9.3 (11 reviews)

Meremeta Lodge ★★★

📍 Utende Road, Mafia

"I stayed at Meremeta Lodge as a solo female traveler and remote worker, and it exceeded expectations Location is great: Just outside the entrance to the Marine Park, but you’re still a short walk (30m) away from the park gate. Even nerarer by provided bikes. Clever and convenient. Not beachfront, and that’s a plus: Peaceful, secluded, surrounded by nature. Ideal for focus. Great value for money. Reliable power and internet: I had zero issues working online. This place is remote-work friendly, no doubt. That feels like a real luxury in some islands off the Tanzanian coast. Diving paradise: Easy access to world-class dive sites. I did a lot of dives during my stay and loved being able to walk everywhere while still clocking steps. Nutritious meals: The food is clean and energizing—perfect for anyone working or diving all day. Highly recommended if you're looking to unplug, dive deep (literally and mentally), and get meaningful work done."

Kitu Kiblu ★★

📍 Island, Kilindoni

"This place is a delight. It’s basic, but has everything you need. The tent is super clean and comfy (make sure to keep it closed). The staff are really friendly and the food was amazing. Little jungle paradise!"

Eco Shamba Kilole Lodge
10 (5 reviews)

Eco Shamba Kilole Lodge ★★★

📍 Utende, Mafia

"I can easily say this is the best stay I have experienced. Our room was beautiful, clean and tidy. The bed was huge and super comfy. The food every night was so delicious, everything from the coconut chutney to the salad at lunch and the meat was absolutely perfect. Service was again, the best I have ever experienced, we had umbarellas dropped to our room when it was raining and when I was sunburnt Adie brought fresh aloe Vera! A very thoughtful and well put together team, who, when short staffed worked super hard to keep us happy. Thank you so much Francesca and Marco for having us, and teaching us so much about the island!! Hopefully see you next year! X"

Basecamp Mafía Island ★★★
"Amazing experience! The staff were incredibly sweet, welcoming, and friendly. A wonderful stay. The pool is magnificent, and the ocean is stunning. (I recommend going at high tide.) The activities offered by Big Blu are fantastic. If it's whale shark season, I highly recommend swimming with them."

Meremeta Lodge ★★★
"I strongly reccomend this place because we had a wonderful time there with some friends. The rooms are really big, very clean and with all the comfort. The place is quiet and very beautiful and they cook amazing food. The place is in a good position, not far from the beach and you can borrow the bikes and go there in 5 minutes with a nice and easy ride. The best part of our time in Meremeta was the kindness of the owner, he was always ready to help us and make our journey as comfortable as possible. I really reccomend this place if you want to have a nice time in this beautiful Island."

Kitu Kiblu ★★
"If you are looking for the paradise, I reccomend to stay some days at Kitu Kiblu on Mafia Island. The accomodations are simply amazing, falling asleep and waking up with the sound of the ocean and some monkeys jumping around is frankly priceless. Every single person at Kitu Kiblu is extremely kind and welcoming and we really felt at home. The food is amazing, they even had a lot of vegetarian food! The sharkwhale watching day was perfectly organized and amazing even though we were not lucky as we were the out of season! We definitely recommend to stay here!"

Eco Shamba Kilole Lodge ★★★
"We spent a week in this paradise, it was amazing. Marco and Francesca were great hosts, we felt great in their perfectly designed, built and maintained resort. We really appreciate the dinners with them on the last day of the year, it was like we were family :-) It was great that they recommended a number of activities for us (snorkeling, swimming with whale sharks, visiting the village on the island and more) and organized transportation. Everything went exactly as we agreed, and in the evening we always talked informally about how our day had been, what we have planned for the next few days and we also talked about other topics - how life is going :-) The cuisine in the resort and the service were impeccable, the willingness of the staff and the amazing aesthetic and taste experience with each meal were additional bonuses of this stay. Marco and Francesca, thank you and we remember you! :-) Martin, Monika and Alex"
