Lazing on the beach in the protected world heritage site Isimangaliso Park lies South Africa’s premier beach Lodge.

With no development 100 miles up or 60 miles down the beach, this is a beach and marine wilderness sanctuary unrivalled

Twelve luxurious 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.

Five of the rooms offer sea views, whilst others are set within the dune forest.

Each unit has a double vanity, stone bath, indoor shower, separate toilet, bar fridge, aircon, ceiling fan, mosquito net and private balcony. The rooms vary between 30m and 120m from the beach.

The lodge’s lounge, rested high in the canopy of the dune forest, offers panoramic views of the Indian Ocean.

Alternatively, enjoy sundowners in the bar lounge or on the cool deck under the Coastal Milkwood trees.
