Love To Explore Rating: Premium Economy

Pole Pole is a laid-back beach-front lodge, set on Mafia Island. The eco-lodge overlooks Chole Bay and the Mafia Island Marine Park, with nine bungalow suites set amongst the coconut palms that frame the beach. Each of the bungalows has a large private veranda with a Zanzibari day bed – the perfect place to relax with a good book. There are three bungalows which cater to families and larger groups, sleeping up to 4 people. The lodge’s restaurant serves a daily changing menu which combines Italian flavours with local seafood and organic, seasonal produce. The lodge works with the nearby dive centre, Big Blu, for those looking to explore the nearby dive sites and marine park, or wish to swim with whale sharks. The lodge can also arrange land-based excursions to local markets, villages and nearby beaches. Pole Pole’s relaxed, welcoming atmosphere and idyllic setting make it the perfect escape from everyday life.

At Love To Explore we would recommend the resort for these unique selling points:

  • Laid back atmosphere
  • Beachfront location
  • Excellent diving
