Kinasi Lodge
Kinasi is a small, luxury lodge situated in Chole Bay on Mafia Island. It provides 1 very high standard of accommodation in 12 chalets each with a large veranda and en-suite bathroom. Chalets are well built in rendered concrete with palm leaf roofs. There is all day mains electricity and adequate reliable water supply from 3 permanent wells. Kinasi is built on 3 hectares of land and owns a total of nearly 7 hectares.
The intention has been to create a resort that is well appointed and artistic, relaxing and stylish, with a very personal feel. Kinasi is therefor beautifully furnished with designer furniture, all made by our own carpenters. The dinning room is appointed with very good crockery and hand blown glassware, as well as original works of art. Kinasi has a Grecian swimming pool , colourful gardens and a tennis court is also planned.
Kinasi has already established a reputation for excellent seafood and a fine wine list. Evening cocktails are a feature of the bar service. Service will continue to concentrate on excellence in food drinks and personal attention.
Activities pivot around the sea and islands and focus on Scuba diving and snorkelling. Personal attention is provided to all guests and diver training at all levels is available with the resident dive instructor. Kinasi has a diving Dhow, inflatable, 3 fibre glass boats and a twin-engined light game fishing boat. There are also 3 laser sailors and a wind surfer.
The waters around Mafia are a divers dream, beautiful coral gardens, drift, wall and night dives, rays, shark and all the many tropical fish that the Indian Ocean has to offer. The diversity and sheer number of different dive sites means each day will be exhilarating and totally different.
Chole bay and its surrounding areas and islands are now part of a marine national park, which is receiving support from the WWF and NORAD. Its future is therefore secure as a World Class diving and water sports environment.
Kinasi is already established as a prominent and key destination on the southern circuit, incorporating Ruaha, the Selous and Zanzibar. Logistics are catered for with scheduled and charter flight departures.
We offer a retreat for those who enjoy a natural lifestyle and contact with the best and simplest seafaring life possible. There are no night clubs here - Kinasi is for the active beachcomber and diver who is serious about enjoying the sea and islands.
