WELCOME TO MAHALI MAALUM
Mahali Maalum Barefoot Lodge, is a hidden gem nestled on the pristine shores of Tanzania’s breathtaking East Coast. Our secluded ecolodge offers a sanctuary for those seeking to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life. At Mahali Maalum, we believe in living a simple life, close to the earth. Our unique barefoot concept encourages you to shed your shoes, along with your worries, the moment you step onto our soft sandy paths or beach.
TRANQUILITY
Come and immerse yourself in the tranquility of our untouched surroundings. The only sounds you’ll hear are the waves of the Indian Ocean and the serene whispers of nature. Our eco-friendly approach ensures that your stay not only rejuvenates your spirit but also contributes to your overall wellness. Lounge under a beach umbrella, read a good book, play games, take strolls on the beach, swim or enjoy a yoga session on the deck. Mahali Maalum provides the perfect backdrop for relaxation and reconnection.
GREEN PRACTICES
Mahali Maalum is a sustainable accommodation experience. The lodge uses solar energy, natural water sources, and has a small organic herb garden. The goal is to create as little environmental impact as possible. The lodge is built from natural, ecologically friendly materials such as coconut leaves, kumba, burlap and bark. The four bush bandas and three beach bungalows therefore effortlessly blend in with the surrounding nature.
We encourage green practices such as using cloth bags, reducing single use plastic, recycling, eating locally grown food, and using your trip to learn about the culture and local flora and fauna of Tanzania.
GET SPOILED
The restaurant and communal deck area is located right at the ocean’s edge with a beautiful view. Here you will get spoiled with healthy snacks, cold cocktails and amazing cuisine. We prepare simple, yet hearty dishes from fresh, locally sourced, seasonal and available produce. Our meals are a mix of vegetarian, pescatarian, a little bit of chicken and red meat, spicy, tasty and beautifully plated for the body, eye and soul. We blend African and international cuisine cooked with lots of care and love. You can expect freshly brewed coffee/tea, juice, seasonal fruit, homemade bread or muffins for breakfast, light lunches, afternoon snacks and a healthy two or three course meal for dinner.
