Kivulini Lodge
Affordable Luxury
Newly opened in 2018, Kivulini translates to “in the shade “ which is a hint of the beautiful tropical gardens and trees found at Kivulini.
It is a true insider tip and offers the best value for money on Mafia Island. Furthermore, Kivulini impresses with outstanding cuisine, featuring the island’s best deep-sea fish menu alongside other international specialties.
Great Location
The hotel is located in Utende, near the east coast of Mafia Island and within the Marine Park. While it is not situated directly on the beach, they offer a complimentary shuttle service to the shore (just a 3-minute drive away) and to the expert “Mafia Island Diving” center. Additionally, guests can make use of free bicycles.
Since Kivulini is not on the beachfront, it features a large swimming pool.
Accommodation & Amenities There are 5 modern, exquisitely furnished, and spacious bungalows, each equipped with:
En-suite bathroom
Air conditioning
Ceiling fans
Because of the limited number of rooms, this “paradise oasis” never feels overcrowded.
Deep-Sea Fishing Owners Frank and Ally also operate the leading deep-sea fishing boat on Mafia Island. Their 30-foot “Chachungi” boat accommodates four anglers and can comfortably reach the outer reefs. It is available for full-day or half-day charters.
Common catches include:
Yellowfin Tuna, Giant Trevally, and Wahoo
Sailfish and Dogtooth Tuna
Spanish Mackerel, Dorado, and Barracuda
Pricing
Rates: Starting at $80 USD per person per night (Half Board included).
Conditions: Prices are based on double or twin occupancy and vary depending on high and low seasons.
Note: Marine Park fees are applicable and are charged separately.
