The perfect place to stay on Mafia Island

Just amazing – We have just returned from a wonderful 10-night stay at Kinasi Lodge. The lodges are set in beautiful grounds resting above the beautiful Chole Bay – providing magnificent views. The… Read more.. resort is very relaxed with very well adorned bungalows.
The food is very nice – especially if you like fish. The staff are attentive and extremely friendly.
Blue World Diving run by Johan provided a wonderful experience and some interesting dive sites. Congrats to Johan and his team for providing a professional yet friendly and attentive service. Johan managed to tempt Carly back in the water to try scuba diving again having had a bad experience in the Maldives last year. Through his perseverance and friendly manner, he managed to ensure she had a successful first adventure beneath the surface – a 10m dive for 55 minutes!! Thank you for your patience Johan!!
The Whale Shark trip did not disappoint – seeing some 7 whale sharks and close encounters with four – just spectacular. A must do trip if visiting Mafia Island.

To summarise – a wonderful boutique resort in a beautiful location with attentive and incredibly friendly staff.

PEACEFULL AND COZY PLACE – Great location by the beach. Unbeatable place if you want to disconnect. Cosy bangalow with great vief of the seabay.
Herbie, their cheffrom Namibia, makes the stay even more… Read more.. enjoyable with his creative and tasty cuisine. Good diving center with well maintained equipment. Just need to offer more challengingdiving sites for advanced divers. Anyways, Gidion, the Divemaste, makes the dives enjoyable because of his local knowledge and his readiness. Do not miss the whaleshark excursion, which is still a unique destination because of surpriselingly uncrowded. I forgot tomention the god spa facilities thanks to OY from Thailand, very competent and very kindfull. Definately, Kinasi resort offers a great option for nature lovers.

Outstanding hospitality – This owner-operated resort is defnitely the best on Mafia island. Everything is perfect. The bungalows, the food, the service, the excursions, the diving. But most of all it is the… Read more.. owner, Peter, who ensures that your stay is beyond comparison. Worth the money.

Amazing 😍 – Just returned from 6 nights at Kinasi. It is such as a paradise next to the ocean 🌊. Amazing time is guarantee! you could not imagine it is the real… Read more.. life! This is mainly due to the great job of the kinasi staff. All are brillant : always smiling people, all infrastructures (the garden, swimming pool, beach…) have been cleaned everyday. The cleaning ladies take care about the bungalow and did flower decorations everyday to make you happy. At 5pm, they take care about the moustiquoes in the room (smoke, moustiquoes net…).
Food and service!!! amazing !! Fresh fishes, sea food, fruits and pancake and eggs in the morning. The meals were amazing with interesting tastes. As french people, I really enjoyed the flavors : Congratulations to the Chef Herbie! In kinasi the service is really good : staff always smiling and helpful!
Excursion and activities: handsome!! everyday, something to do! We saw amazing corals and fishes during the snorkeling. Unfortunately, I could not learn diving because of the weather but HAKUNA Matata there were a lot of other activities to do: massage (she is really professional! Real good one! You feel 10years less after it 😉), walking next to the ocean, watch the sunrise (if you can wake up), go for sun set or visit Mafia island or the island around as Chole as historic site with amazing bats. Our last day, by chance, the whale shark were already in the place, so we went to swim with them : I will keep this sensation for all of my life!!!

To all kinasi lodge : you do a fabulous job! Thanks!
I hope to see you again!
