On Chole Island in the Mafia Island Marine Park in Tanzania, they have been quietly upgraded this season, with a private plunge pool nestled into the rocks. Plus an en-suite shower has carved between coral stone - still open to the sky and surrounding mangrove forest.
The treehouses are open to the ocean breeze, built gently around ancient baobab trees For many travellers, this raises a natural curiosity: Will it feel too wild? Will they miss the familiar comforts of a conventional hotel? And for guests arriving after days on safari, after climbing Kilimanjaro, or after long international journeys, comfort matters.
But comfort at Chole Mjini Treehouse Lodge is designed differently. You’ll have electricity, ensuite bathrooms, attentive hospitality, and privacy, but also space, silence, and immersion in nature. In working with the ocean breeze, the result is a space where guests often sleep deeper than they have in months.
At Chole Mjini Treehouse Lodge, luxury is…
Coffee rising to your balcony in a woven basket at sunrise
Outdoor showers surrounded by birdsong
Dinner locations that change nightly: the jetty, under the tamarind tree, amongst ancient ruins
Fish on your plate that was caught that day
Swimming gently, respectfully, alongside the largest fish in the sea: the whale shark
Watching turtle hatchlings find the ocean by instinct alone
Running barefoot across a sandbank, water in every direction, just you and someone you love
Gliding silently through the mangroves on a paddleboard, where the water mirrors the sky
Wind in your hair as a traditional dhow carries you into the sunset
Hosting only a handful of guests at a time
