Thonga Beach Lodge - Romantic Luxury Beach Lodge nestled in the iSimangaliso Wetland Park, Elephant Coast, KZN

Thonga Beach Lodge is an unspoilt gem of KwaZulu-Natal’s Maputaland coast. Situated in South Africa's first World Heritage Site, the iSimangaliso Wetland Park, Thonga Beach Lodge is mere metres away from the sparkling Indian Ocean.

Beneath the breakers lies a treasure trove of marine life, from vivid reef fish to schools of dolphins, and even turtles returning to the beach to lay their eggs.

Thonga Beach Lodge is the ideal place to connect with one of Africa’s last pristine wilderness beaches and rediscover your place in it.
