Basecamp Eco Resort Mafia Island puts your toes in the sand on Mafia Island’s southern shore, set within Mafia Island Marine Park, where the beach is your front yard! The rooms (built with sustainable materials) offer either garden or ocean views, while the open-air restaurant serves dishes made from local catches and island-grown ingredients with sweeping Indian Ocean vistas. When you’re not diving with whale sharks or exploring the marine park, there’s a swimming pool, a rejuvenating spa, and a beach bar where you sip cocktails as the sun dips into Chole Bay. Mornings start with a buffet breakfast with Western favourites and local specialities. The property is set in a tropical garden with free Wi-Fi throughout and a boutique gift shop for those last‑minute souvenirs!
