The rooms at the accommodation have air conditioning and a desk. This has to be the best place on Mafia island. Set apart from town, on a bluff with a commanding view of the sea, and the sunset, three very stylish - and huge - rooms, large infinity pool, great food, superb manager in Ali and his excellent assistant Salama. Mafia is great - a paradise Indian Ocean island just open enough to be accessible and for everything to be easy to arrange - but it feels like the big tourist rush is yet to arrive. And Kilekeni, a short hop from town, the airport or the busier east coast, is one of its most serene and supremely relaxing spots.

We went out the first day with a highly rated local tour company and did not see any whale sharks which was unusual. The next day we decided to go out with Hassan, the manager at Maisara Mafia Beach Lodge. Hassan was determined and we did in fact see whale sharks!! Hassan took such good care of us. I was so happy to see the whale sharks but I was getting tired after a few swims so I was content to stay in the boat and let my family continue swimming. After resting a bit, Hassan jumped in to see if it was a good view for me. He came back to the boat and let me know it was a great view if I was up to swimming again. I jumped back in and had the very best time! I cannot say enough good things about Hassan and everyone at the Lodge. They are all so kind and helpful. I also highly recommend the massages at Maisara Mafia Beach Lodge. Thank you Hassan and everyone at the Lodge.

Amazing stay at Butiama Marine camp. For those visiting Mafia, would 100% recommend. Its location right on the beach is unmatched, excellent breakfasts and dinners, and fantastic staff. If you’re looking to dive, would recommend Mafia Island diving. Staff were much friendlier than those at Big Blu (dive shop at marine camp).
I stayed in the tent which had a normal comfortable bed, an electricity outlet and a fan; the daily cleaning of the tent and common shower/bathroom were exceptional, Wifi was spotty at the same time you have free wifi on a remote island! Daily activities (whaleshark trip, diving etc) were nice and value for money; everybody is doing their best to make you feel welcome. Ask to see the local village/school otherwise you only see the beach and resort!
My boyfriend and I stayed here for five nights in November 2023 and absolutely loved it! Great food, lovely staff, and wonderful surroundings! We were the only guests, so the staff was kind enough to plan all our activities and transportation. The great thing about Marfia Island is that everything is fairly close, so we rarely have to drive for more than an hour. Living in Killindoni also leaves a lot to do for those not going to Marfia for diving. - Danish travelers
What a simply beautiful hotel. Set in a lovely tropical oasis with a fantastic swimming pool and a wonderful bar area, this is a perfect place to stay whilst visiting Mafia. But what really makes it, are the simply amazing staff. They are completely dedicated to making your stay perfect. But the natural friendliness they show is humbling. When my partner was ill, everyone showed incredible concern and were willing to do anything for her. Thank you so much to the entire team. I cannot recommend this place highly enough.
Lovely small property with very personal service, really great standard of accommodation, big room, great shower, nice pool, extremely accommodating staff. Excellent overall. Dive equipment is new and dive service also excellent.
It's inside the marine park which is great but NB you pay park entrance fee for every person and every night you stay which makes this less good as a budget option.
We spent 4 nights at this wonderful lodge and felt very welcome from the moment we arrived. The staff is extremely helpful and friendly and the manager organised tours and expeditions for us every single day. Despite visiting outside of the whale shark season we managed to swim with a whale shark during a snorkelling trip. The food was fresh and delicious and the entire property was well maintained with clean rooms and facilities. One of the best accommodations during our Tanzania trip!
