A Sea Paradise

IMMERSE YOURSELF

NO NEWS. NO SHOES

A remote paradise only accessible to those that dream of adventure and barefoot luxury. The 12 thatched eco-sensitive rooms, with ocean or forest views, boast an earthy elegance, and are positioned to afford maximum privacy and minimal environmental impact. Thonga Beach Lodge is the ideal place to connect with one of Africa’s last pristine wilderness beaches and rediscover your place in it.

JOURNEY WITH A PURPOSE

NATURE’S SYMPHONY

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.  Leatherback and Loggerhead turtle’s have laid their eggs on this ancient shoreline for thousands of years. Thonga Beach Lodge and the Isibindi Foundation continue to play a role in protecting this breeding ground. Guests from all over the world arrive to view this annually between November and March.
