Set above a secluded bay, Thonga Beach Lodge is nestled into beautiful coastal dune forest with sweeping views of the stunning beach below. The thatched bush suites provide guests with complete privacy and were carefully constructed to ensure minimal impact on the environment.
The lodge offers luxurious accommodation, mouth-watering meals and one of the best dive sites in the South Africa.
The lounge, with its comfortable couches and a cosy fireplace, is the perfect place to unwind after a day at the beach. Located upstairs from the diningroom, it offers spectacular views of the beach as well as the incredible forest surrounding the lodge. To beat the midday heat, guests can take it easy beside the lodge's swimming pool or enjoy a delicious cocktail at the bar with its unique "ocean" bar counter.
For those needing a little pampering, the Thonga Beach Lodge also has a rejuvenation centre where guests can revitalise body, mind and soul. The spacious, thatched suites are hidden in the coastal dune forest and raised on wooden stilts to ensure no harm comes to the sensitive dune soils.
Inspired by Thonga architecture, the en-suite rooms have been carefully positioned to guarantee guests complete privacy and most rooms offer extensive views of the ocean and surrounding bush from private balconies. Luxuriously decorated, the rooms exude a romantic ambience.
The dining area at Thonga Beach Lodge is a large thatched 'rondavel' which opens on to an expansive wooden deck, where guests can enjoy Maputuland's sultry weather and the lodge's sumptuous meals. Most meals will be served al fresco, or, guests can head for the beach and dine by candlelight on the shores of the Indian Ocean.
Activities include off-shore scuba diving, scuba diving courses, guided canoe trips on Lake Sibiya, boat cruises, turtle tracking, snorkelling, bird watching, wilderness walks, cultural experiences and fishing (surf, fly and deep sea).
