BUTIAMA MAFIA ISLAND
Butiama Mafia Island consists of three family run accommodation venues and one diving centre on Mafia Island off the coast of Tanzania. With more than 20 years experience in the hospitality business we aim to offer you personalized and impeccable services, providing you a vacation with a difference.
We are the only business with properties inside and outside of Mafia Island Marine Park and have one of the best restaurants on the island. Our facilities include beach pool bars, a spa, a pool with a sea view and beautiful white sandy beaches. Our location also offers you the opportunity to swim with Whale Sharks.
WHO WE ARE
Butiama Mafia Island is run by Maura and Moez. Maura is originally from Italy and arrived in Mafia in 1999 to run one of the lodges on the Island. Here she met Moez. Moez was born in Mafia and was raised between the island and the mainland. In 2004 they met a South African client and they became good friends initially and than business partners. In 2010 we opened Butiama Beach and our adventure together started.
We are fortunate to be able to offer our guests different options for their accommodation needs whilst they are staying on Mafia Island.
BUTIAMA BEACH LODGE
Butiama Beach Lodge is situated on the west coast of Mafia Island, just next to main town of Kilindoni and outside of the Marine Park bounderies. The lodge is the perfect beachfront retreat to relax and unwind and our beach is the departing point to go to swim with whale sharks. With only 13 bungalows and a maximum occupancy of 32 people it allows you to have privacy and space. We are a family business and aim for casual and relaxed atmosphere which caters for couples, friends or families. From Mafia airstrip it takes around 10 minutes by car. Butiama Beach Lodge was open in 2010.
