Off the coast of Tanzania lies Jumeirah Thanda Island, a luxury private island resort that opened in April 2016. The private residence of Swedish philanthropist and investor couple Christin and Dan Olofsson, it is exclusively bookable and offers absolute privacy in a luxurious villa with five suites for private vacations with friends and family. Jumeirah Thanda Island is the sister resort of the renowned luxury reserve Jumeirah Thanda Safari in South Africa, a member of The Leading Hotels of the World, and follows its sustainability philosophy with extensive environmental, research, and community projects.
Jumeirah Thanda Island is the private beach residence accessible to guests of Swedish investors and philanthropists Christin and Dan Olofsson. Across eight hectares, a tropical island paradise unfolds with its own private coral reef, into which a large, whitewashed villa is harmoniously integrated. The residence, designed in a discreetly luxurious, American-Swedish style, is equipped with an indoor aquarium, a Steinway grand piano, a glass pool, a cocktail bar, a boma, and its own al fresco pizza oven. It offers maximum privacy in five suites for up to ten adults and nine children. The interior and design were personally curated by the Olofssons in white and natural tones, along with hand-selected artworks. Their inspiration for it stems from a visit to the Kennedy family's residence in New England.
