South Africa’s most pristine wilderness beach lodge awaits you on the azure shores of the iSimangaliso Wetland Park (UNESCO World Heritage Site). Situated deep in this wilderness of white beaches, blazing corals and freshwater lakes lies South Africa’s premier beach destination.

Thonga’s 12 eco-sensitive rooms are positioned to create minimal environmental impact and afford maximum privacy. They offer ocean or forest views, with the Deluxe Ocean View Rooms sporting private plunge pools. Surrounded by such natural beauty stirs something special within your soul, igniting a spirit of adventure and leaving you with a lasting impression.

From its dune-top perch, this 24-bed luxury lodge boasts spectacular views of both the Indian Ocean and the lush forest from any of its rooms’ private balconies. The azure waters below boast pristine coral reefs and about 1,250 species of fish – making it one of the world’s best sites for snorkelling and scuba diving. Depending on the time of year, you’ll even have the chance to swim with dolphins or see turtles laying their eggs. Nearby Lake Sibaya (in the iSimangaliso Wetland Park) is a stellar spot for kayaking and the area’s status as a World Heritage Site means there are plenty crocodiles and hippos.
