Thonga Beach Lodge is uniquely set on the pristine shores of the Maputaland Coast. Part of the iSimangaliso Wetland Parl – a UNESCO World Heritage Site – Thonga is the place to discover one of Africa’s last unspoilt wilderness beaches. The name “iSimangaliso” means “miracle and wonder” – an apt name for an area that is home to such a diverse and spectacular array of unique ecosystems.
Lazing on the beach in the protected world heritage site Isimangaliso Park lies South Africa’s premier beach Lodge. With no development 100 miles up or 60 miles down the beach, this is a beach and marine wilderness sanctuary unrivalled. 12 luxurious thatched rooms (a few with private pools) are discreetly nestled into the dune forest overlooking Mabibi beach.
Wake slowly to the sound of waves, deciding if rock pool snorkeling or an open ocean experience or simply lying on our beach deck sampling our gin platter is the best plan for the day. Playing in paradise. Perhaps a sundowner with hippo’s grunting at Lake Sibaya in the afternoon. South Africa’s biggest freshwater lake.
Conservation is our passion and our purpose. We make it our mission to give our guests the opportunity to reconnect with the natural world. The reefs right in front of the lodge are world-class, and reveal a colourful, enchanting world of diverse oceanic life, including dolphins and turtles. Thonga Beach Lodge is also privileged and proud of its involvement in protecting the loggerhead and leatherback turtles.
The lodge facilities are designed to enhance your experience by complementing the exquisite surrounding wilderness, with thoughtfully curated comforts. An energising day playing in the sun and sea and delighting in the lodge’s barefoot luxury always leaves time for a rest in your private luxury rooms.
