Is the Pole Pole for Me?

Seven bungalow suites, perfectly blended with the surrounding tropical garden, overlook the infinite hues of blue of Chole Bay, the core of Mafia Island Marine Park, Tanzania.

Pole, considered one of the most exclusive eco-resorts in the world, is renowned for its excellent cuisine, unpretentious and laid-back atmosphere and warm but discrete hospitality.

Balancing luxury with respect for local culture and environment, it is the perfect place to relax after a safari and the ideal base for exploring the underwater wonders of Mafia Island.
