The Tides Lodge – The Detail

Set on a sandy palm fringed, picture postcard bay, on the remote and un-spoilt beach while runs south from Pangani the Tides consists of 9 rooms all with sea views and access to the beautiful beach. Small and intimate, the lodge offers a high level of personal service in an unobtrusive and unpretentious manner. Guests can enjoy excellent cuisine where the house chef specializes in seafood, delivered daily by the local fishermen.

The cottages, which are set amid the palms lining the beach, are spacious, bright and breezy and have large well appointed bathrooms. All have their own sunbathing area under the shade of the palm trees for guests’ privacy with the azure blue waters of the Indian Ocean a perfect place to float and consider the world!

Facilities include a beach front bar, where lunch, cocktails and a full range of drinks are served; a fine dining restaurant over looking the ocean; recently built swimming pool and shop with internet facility.

Activities are also one of the key features to the hotel and there are a wide range to choose from including snorkelling and SCUBA diving on nearby Maziwe Island Marine Park, game fishing, cultural tours of Pangani, beach walks and village tours, kayaking, and other water sports.

The Tides Lodge – Our view

Great beach, great lodge….overall a very nice off the beaten track choice! What Tides has over other destinations on the mainland coast is a whole range of activities, including good diving, making it a very good and affordable destination for people wanting to stay away from Zanzibar. ‘Now there are daily scheduled flights to their airstrip access is much easier. If you like an ‘off-the-beaten-track’ location with a superb beach, excellent food and rooms that are right on the beach, then consider The Tides....a great lodge for families.’!
