Is the Thanda Island for Me?

Located within the Shungimbili Island Marine Reserve, Thanda Island, Tanzania, provides a secluded sanctuary in the turquoise waters of the Indian Ocean. This exclusive private island wellness retreat features a single expansive villa and two traditional beach chalets, creating an intimate atmosphere for your party. Your journey typically begins with seamless Dar es Salaam luxury transfers via helicopter, landing you directly on the sandy white shores.

The Thanda Island private villa is styled with a light coastal aesthetic and includes five ensuite suites and outdoor copper bathtubs. You can spend your afternoons by the glass-rimmed swimming pool or enjoy a game on the tennis court. The onsite gym and spa treatments offer quiet spaces to rejuvenate among the tropical greenery.

This Tanzania private beach villa serves as a gateway to a protected marine park where you may swim with whale sharks or snorkel through coral reefs. As one of the premier Indian Ocean private retreats, the property balances environmental conservation with absolute seclusion. It is an ideal choice for multi-generational families and groups of friends looking for a peaceful, self-contained escape, and those dreaming of an exclusive private island wellness retreat.
