Thanda Island is a private island resort off the coast of Tanzania, managed by the Jumeirah Group since December 1, 2024. This five-hectare tropical island is located within a marine protected reserve, offering guests an exclusive retreat surrounded by the Indian Ocean's turquoise waters.

The resort features a single, luxurious villa with five oceanfront suites, accommodating up to ten adults, with additional space for children. Each suite opens directly onto pristine beaches, providing uninterrupted sea views. The villa includes spacious living areas, a private pool, and two traditional open-air Tanzanian bandas (beach chalets) for guests seeking an authentic experience.

Guests have exclusive access to the surrounding Shungimbili Island Marine Reserve, allowing for personalized marine adventures such as snorkeling, diving, and encounters with marine life like whale sharks and sea turtles. The island's location also offers opportunities to explore nearby historical sites, including the Spice Island of Zanzibar and eleventh-century ruins on Mafia Island.

Dining at Jumeirah Thanda Island is tailored to individual preferences, with options ranging from beachside meals to traditional Swahili feasts. The resort emphasizes wellness, offering spa treatments, yoga sessions, and a variety of water sports to ensure a rejuvenating stay.

This partnership between Jumeirah Group and Thanda Group has expanded Jumeirah's presence into Africa, introducing Jumeirah Thanda Island as part of the Jumeirah Privé collection—a curated portfolio of secluded and exclusive luxury accommodations worldwide.

In summary, Jumeirah Thanda Island offers a unique blend of luxury, privacy, and cultural immersion, making it an exceptional destination for travelers seeking an exclusive and enriching experience in the heart of the Indian Ocean.
