Mafia Island is the southernmost of the three large islands off the coast of Tanzania. It is about 20 km long and 8 km wide. A perfect destination for a luxury holiday, honeymoon or a short break full of sun, sea, water sports and tranquillity.
It is a quiet, unspoiled island where time seems to have stood still and where the lives of the inhabitants have hardly been affected by the outside world. The Zanzibares are narrower and punctuated by mangrove forests.
Mafia Island is the perfect place for people who want to experience what Zanzibar looked like 35 years ago. The island itself is more like mainland Tanzania than Zanzibar and Pemba, with dense forests and coconut and cashew nut plantations. The entire coastline is generally covered with palm trees, but the island does not have the extensive sandy Zanzibares as in Zanzibar.
For people who want to discover things on their own, meet local people and immerse themselves in Swahili culture, Mafia Island is the distinct paradise.
