Tijara Beach

Tijara Beach offers 4 luxurious cottages that are spread out enough to ensure guests privacy. Each cottage has been beautifully positioned on its own cliff top with huge open decks boasting stunning views over the Indian Ocean, beautiful grounds and attractive swimming pool. The cottages are very spacious featuring en-suite bathrooms with his and hers sinks, double showers, and uninterrupted views of the Indian Ocean from wherever you are!

All rooms at Tijara Beach have high speed fans to cool guests down if the cooling monsoon breezes from the Indian Ocean don’t! The cottages have all been built in a traditional Swahili style with Makuti thatched roofs and complimented by exclusively handcrafted Swahili furniture with ornate carvings and rich decoration.

Tijara Beach has a fresh water swimming pool. You are invited to laze or dip in the pool under the warmth of the midday sun, whilst sipping specially made cocktails and listening to the soothing sound of the ocean.

Tijara Beach has plenty of grounds for you to walk around, explore and keep active. The gardeners work very hard to maintain the perfectly manicured gardens that they have converted from overgrown bush.

There is also a beautifully secluded beach with white fine sand, a stunning coral reef with a fantastic variety of live shells, starfish, corals and tropical fish just to name a few.

• Walking in the cave – legend has it that this cave is the famous Black Jack's Cave which was used during the time of slave trading.
• Snorkelling
• Bird watching

Occasionally Tijara is visited by dolphins and whales which can be seen swimming and frolicking around the reef; you can also watch turtles swim close to the beach during May/June.

Tijara try to locally source as much as possible and share their secluded beach as much as possible with the local fishermen who bring in the catch of the day to keep up a good relationship.

Tijara Beach really is a lovely place set in ultimate tranquillity. It is the ideal destination for those who want to leave the rest of the world behind. It is not the place to stay if an active holiday is what you are after. The owners really go out of the way to open their home and make sure that guests are well taken care of and well fed using as many locally sourced foods as possible. The views from anywhere in Tijara are just breath-taking with an abundance of space to take long strolls and fantastic swimming opportunities with amazing marine life.
