Mafia Island Beach Holiday

Salty sea air and gorgeous ocean vistas are just the start of things you can look forward to during your Mafia Island holiday. If you want to save on your trip to Mafia Island, here's how to do it — opt for one of our Mafia Island holiday deals. Lock in one near Kilindoni Beach, only 14 kilometres from the centre of town and a must-do while here. Alternatively, select a package that puts you closer to Utende Beach, another stunning stretch of coastline. Whichever you choose, you'll be left with extra dollars in your budget to have fun with.
