Thonga Beach Lodge

An utterly idyllic beach holiday awaits at the sublime Thonga Beach Lodge, set in tropical dune forest just metres from a pristine wilderness beach at Mabibi Bay on the Elephant Coast. Giant turtles come to these shores annually, between November and February, to birth their young. Thonga's exclusive experience of barefoot luxury includes snorkeling on a protected reef; diving with launches in front of the lodge; swimming with whale sharks, dolphins and manta rays; kayaking on Lake Sibaya; and seasonal turtle experiences. Spa treatments are another irresistible option, in between incomparably idyllic beach pleasures. Thonga Beach Lodge forms part of the iSimangaliso Wetland Park World Heritage Site and is a dream come true for romantics, honeymooners and ocean-and-beach worshippers. Children: All ages
