Pole Pole Bungalow  Resort Mafia Island

 

 

 

The Pole Pole (pronounced pohleh pohleh) Bungalow Resort located on the shores of Mafia Island Marine Park is a new kind of accommodation. Consisting of only ten bungalows, the accommodation promises personal attention and service while conducting its operations in an ecologically conscientious manner. The accommodation
epitomizes the Kiswahili words of "take it easy", which really translates to Pole Pole.
Polepole
Mafia Island is approximately 30 miles off the Tanzanian coast, about 45 minutes by air from Dar es Salaam and one hour from the Selous Game Reserve and Zanzibar Island.



Accommodations at Pole Pole Bungalow Resort in Mafia Island.

• Pole Pole Bungalow Resort, owned by a young Italian couple - Massimo and Katia, is a new kind of luxury travel experience that combines the principles of eco-tourism, a small resort setting and one of the most pristine and exotic environments in the world.
• The ten roomy bungalows with wide verandas looking onto the sea are built entirely out of wood and raised on stilts to ensure the maximum comfort for the guests.
• The two categories of room types include:

Luxury Bungalow: elegant and spacious chalets, set among the coconut trees, overlooking a bay and the magnificent Chole and Juani Islands. The rooms are furnished with carved and antique pieces. Twin and double beds are available and another bed, for a child or a third person, can be provided. The large private verandahs are furnished with a Zanzibari bed, chairs, table and an armchair. Each chalet has a spacious en-suite bathroom; there are two overhead fans, one on the verandah and one in the bedroom.

Sensation Bungalow:
Beach bungalows, smaller than the luxury ones, but still with comfort and their own charm. They are made of wood and makuti (coconut palm leaves) and are locally furnished with external camp like toilets and showers. The feature of these bungalows is the proximity to the shore: 5 meters.

• The room floors are made out of hard woods, the furniture from mahogany and the door and window frames from doussi.
• The beds have wooden slats and high quality spring mattresses. All linen is imported from Italy. Bathrooms have double washbasins, king-size showers, bidets and toilets.
• Laundry is available at Pole Pole at no extra cost.

 


Food and Drinks at Pole Pole Bungalow Resort in Mafia Island

• The Pole Pole cuisine is a combination of diverse culinary traditions and cultures, with an Italian style touch of class. Seafood, homemade pasta and delicious fresh fruit ice cream are the specialties. A Swahili dinner is served once per week or on request. Most of the food served is organically grown and bought on the island to help local fisherman and farmers benefit from tourism development.
• Breakfast is international style with fresh fruit juice, seasonal fresh fruits, crepes, toasted bread, traditional homemade j am and honey, butter, tea and eggs.
• A selection of beverages and cold drinks are always available at the bar, which remains open until guests have retired.
