We had been saving for this holiday for a year - mine and my boyfriends first big holiday together, and his first for 5 years, so it needed to be something pretty special. Neither of us are beach holiday/resort people, and were looking for the perfect paradise to get away from other people quite frankly! Ras Mbisi was exactly what... More

If you want mini bars, room service and satellite TV, Ras Mbisi is NOT going to be the place for you. However, if you want barefoot, chilled out heaven in the middle of nowhere for the ultimate chill out, this is your spot. Mafia Island is possibly the most unspoilt in this archipelago. South of Zanzibar and a short flight... More

We stayed for two nights in Ras Mbisi Lodge last january. It was recommended by a friend of us who said it was somewhat different but a fantastic place to stay. The place indeed is wonderful. The comfortable cottages are just a few steps away from the beach. The food is great and surroundings are beautiful. When we arrived the... More

We chose this resort as we wanted rest and relaxation after a full on safari in Kenya. We got what we wanted. The weather was a little unkind which meant we could not go out on the boat, but we managed dips in the gloriously warm sea and lazed about in total comfort. The staff of the ras Mbisi were... More

We had 2 days of tropical storm, stuck in the restaurant. We missed the whale sharks (but not... More

A great place on the west side for the whale sharks. This place is a great chillax place if you want amazing food of v high standard with great staff and a pool. Location wise I would maybe also stay on the other side (we did Chole island and the tree houses to be close to the coral gardens, this... More

Our family had a wonderful relaxing and peaceful stay at Ras Mbisi, the bandas were comfortable, the food healthy and delicious, and the well trained staff very attentive without being pushy. We had an enjoyable day on the boat but missed the whale sharks but may be next time! Big thanks to John and Michelle and also Scarlett who our... More

Ras Mbisi - a very special place with fantastic crafted bandas 50m from the illustrious green Indian Ocean. It's been a few months since our stay and we on a daily basis dream of the absolute peace there. Thank you John and Michelle for a blissful few days. Delicious food, very friendly staff, stunning location, perfect relaxation after the cramped... More
