Basecamp is a beautiful place to stay on Mafia Island! The property is so stunning with views of the ocean and access to the beach. Our stay was very comfortable with lovely beds and bedding, our room was very clean and recently updated. The staff were all extremely welcoming and tended to our every need. We were greeted with a coconut to drink out of upon arrival as well as some local fruits. The breakfast was great with freshly made eggs however you like. The lunches and dinners were also really tasty. There is a bar at the pool, beach and restaurant which was convenient. The pool has a nice view of the ocean as well. The shuttle service from the airport was timely and convenient. We saw whale sharks snorkeling! We had our laundry done and folded, which was great. Our room was upgraded free of charge as there was availability, which was such a nice surprise as it has never happened to us before. Overall an amazing stay at a beautiful hidden gem, book it!!

This is a very new place focussing on diving excursions with two very well equipped cabins. It is situated in the beautiful marine park area where scuba diving is exceptional. The area is not overrun by tourists and the cabin is a very cosy and restful place. Enjoy one of the evening cocktails, prepared by the friendly staff or relax at the poolside. The small resort arranges shuttle service to and from the airport.

We just finished our 3 day stay in Mafia and at Mafia Island Bungalows : it was a lovely stay, all-round : beautiful space for the house, comfortable terrace, perfect bedroom (Upendo - very nicely decorated with local flair, loved it), great bathroom… everything fine! The place is overall very quiet as it sits a little away from the road at the entrance of the Marine Park. We did not meet the owners, who where on a trip off the island : however, they took the time to check-in with us every single day, and it was much appreciated. We also would like to adress a great shout out to the staff : Hassan was very available, without being « too present » / just the right balance; and there is an amazing Chef on premises: we loved the breakfasts and even more the diners! The homemade bread and Chapatis, the soups, the mains and the deserts… everything was delicious ! Well done, we whole-heartedly recommend staying with you when visiting Mafia and hope to come again one day ☺️

It is a beautiful place, well organized and very friendly and considerate staff.

Located in a quiet area next to the beach this small place to stay is a hidden gem. Each room is its own little bungalow, with high ceilings, AC and fan, big glass doors and a covered verandah looking over the sea, and good quality bathroom with plenty of hot water for shower. Beautifully maintained flower-edged sandy paths leading to the central restaurant/bar area with nearby places to lie on sheltered swinging beds and the beach. Simple yet filling breakfast consisting of served fruit, juice, eggs, toast and pancake. Lunch and dinner could be ordered with choice of fresh grilled seafood, chicken, beef, with salad/vegetables and small fruit-based desert. The grilled fish was excellent, but not always available depending on the local catches of the day. Friendly and helpful staff with many interesting activities to do when not relaxing! Organised reef snorkeling, BBQ lunch on a sandbar, and whale sharks.
