Vamizi Island Lodge

Imagine diving straight from your villa into the ocean before experiencing a fresh grill on the beach; this is what defines Vamizi Island Lodge. The lodge isn't about the usual 5 Star luxury and all that jazz, it's more about the unique and rare pleasures of exotic island life.

It's hard to compete with 13 impossibly romantic Timber Villas scattered along one of the world's most beautiful beaches. The airy Timber Villas are quite spacious and each have a bed, sofas, a marble shower, a vanity area and an exclusive sun deck. It’s not about the ordinary stuff, so don't expect esteemed TVs or air-conditioning; it's all about natural breezes floating through your room.

Rest your weary fins, as do the turtles who nest on the shores each year, by nurturing your entire being at the spa with some of the best energy and traditional body treatments unique to Vamizi Island.

Be tempted by surf-fresh seafood in the open-plan thatched dining room or try the castaway approach. Go a few feet down below into the Vamizi seas and everything changes; the area has been said to be one of the best diving spots in the world. Vamizi Island is sanctuary to samango monkeys, coconut crabs and the 112 bird species recorded. The locals keep the sea and her miles of untouched coast their secret.

Bliss is to end your days off with a cocktail at the bar, while stretched out on the masses of cushions and sofas; heaven can just wait.
