Sleep closer to nature🌴🐒 Our beach houses are safari tents built into wooden stilt houses, scattered beneath coconut and cashew trees along the shoreline of Mafia Island.

Simple, breezy and designed for those who’d rather fall asleep to the sound of the ocean than a TV.

Choose between beachfront, sea view or garden view stays from classic shared-bathroom options to upgraded stilt houses with private showers and toilets.

Fans, lights, charging points and slow living included.

Whale shark season is in full swing here in Mafia! 🦈💙

Let’s follow the Code of Conduct to ensure a safe, memorable experience that does not harass the sharks. Keep a safe distance from the tail, don’t swim under them, try not to splash too much or chase and never ever, no, nay, never touch them 🌍✨ They are wild. Please let’s respect their right to remain wild and not become another commodity for our amusement.

See you in the water! 🐋💙
