Hotel in Kilindoni
Located in Kilindoni, 4.4 miles from Rufiji Mafia Kilwa Marine Reserve, Maisara Mafia Beach Lodge has accommodations with a garden, free private parking, a private beach area and a terrace. Beautiful bungalows with a huge garden directly in front of the beach. All the bungalows have a big glass front where you can see the garden and at some locations the beach. Incredibly nice staff - try to help and accommodate wherever they can. Could change the room without problems as I needed AC to be able to sleep (March can be incredibly hot and humid). Even came back to the hotel after diving on the other side of the island. Everything seems a bit rustic as first but you will definitely fall in love with it. There is a really really nice gift shop with handicrafts on site - really nice woman from the village, definitely one to support. The locations to the beach is super close and to the left there are two more hotels you can go for dinner or a drink. People all know each other on Mafia and help you with everything! :) Breakfast is great!

Utende
Mafia Island Bungalows offers accommodations in Utende, 3.8 miles from Rufiji Mafia Kilwa Marine Reserve. We just finished our 3 day stay in Mafia and at Mafia Island Bungalows : it was a lovely stay, all-round : beautiful space for the house, comfortable terrace, perfect bedroom (Upendo - very nicely decorated with local flair, loved it), great bathroom… everything fine! The place is overall very quiet as it sits a little away from the road at the entrance of the Marine Park. We did not meet the owners, who where on a trip off the island : however, they took the time to check-in with us every single day, and it was much appreciated. We also would like to adress a great shout out to the staff : Hassan was very available, without being « too present » / just the right balance; and there is an amazing Chef on premises: we loved the breakfasts and even more the diners! The homemade bread and Chapatis, the soups, the mains and the deserts… everything was delicious ! Well done, we whole-heartedly recommend staying with you when visiting Mafia and hope to come again one day ☺️

We did whale shark diving with Afro Whale Shark Safari, and organized trips to Juni Island and Kua ruins through Mohammed from tourmafiaisland.com. He was friendly and well informed. There is so much to explore on Mafia island, but it is trickier to stay in killindoni & organize tours from there all most are arranged through the lodges at chole bay. However we had a great stay and experience! Amazing beaches, sunsets, walks, forests!
Mafia Island is unspoilt and filled with friendly people! Great for scuba diving and enjoying the Indian Ocean
This is mostly a dive area, though the resorts are happy to help you book snorkeling tours and trips to other areas. The small village has very few amenities and is definitely not a party town, but the beachfront is a great place to relax with a book after diving or swimming. Some resorts offer paddle boards and bikes (ask at Mafia Island Lodge). Waves restaurant is right on the beach and offers a few really good plates for 15,000-20,000 TZS. Be prepared to order ahead (early afternoon for dinner) at any of the dive resorts and 1-2 hours ahead for any other place besides the few ready-made restaurants in the village or at the roundabout at the end of the road that offer rice, beans and fish or samosas. Also remember that you will pay around $24 (including tax) for any night spent in the marine park that starts at the beginning of town.

Meremeta, the founder and owner, as well as his staff are exceptional. You will find big, very clean and comfortable rooms, as well as great food with local prising. Furthermore Meremeta will be making sure you discover the island and miss no possible activities (if you want, he doesn't try to persuade you, no worries). It's by far the best acommodation you're going to have at Mafia Island! We travelled through Tanzania for over a month and we never felt this welcomed and appreciated as with Meremeta.

this is like a jungle treehouse hotel-- so cool! staff was soooo nice! great social atmosphere even though i was like one of the only guests. THREE different beach entrances, AND an on-demand bar with great sunset beach views? Stunning. Food was very yummy. love that they are really trying to promote sustainability and responsible tour operators on mafia island.
Really nice place with great atmosphere, staff really kind, smiley and helpful in everything. Arrange our trips, transfer and all what we need, great food, amazing beach, beautiful sunsets and area near hotel. Perfect place for reset mind and chill. I really recommend juani beach bungalows, if come back on Mafia island im sure that again choose this place
It is a new hotel, but the best one that we went to in tanzania. The staff is lovely and helped us out werever they could. Would definitly go back if we are at mafia island in the future.
