Thanda

About This Island

From above you see a teardrop of sand in a turquoise sea; a secret island with a private luxury Villa created with complete respect for the natural environment. It is a place of absolute natural beauty where marine life thrives, and at the same time, it is an ultra-luxurious experience with all the activities, adventures, amenities, and dietary and lifestyle requirements you would expect during your stay. You can choose from a variety of exciting water adventures, excursions, and activities, such as swimming with whale sharks, scuba diving, island tennis, and learning about ancient Arabic history. Simultaneously, Thanda Island envelops you in pure, natural pleasures… The only sign of human habitation on the 8-hectare island is an occasional traditional fishing dhow. On Thanda Island, you absorb the warmth of the sun, the shimmer of the water, and the unspoiled beauty. Swim with the gentle whale shark, scuba dive in the largest marine protected reserve in the Indian Ocean, ride the trade winds on a traditional Arab dhow, indulge in a Swahili or Arabian feast, and enjoy a massage or copper bath on the beach. This merely scratches the surface of what makes Thanda Island special.
