Lupita Island Lodge is an exclusive and pristine private island set on 110 hectares amidst a cluster of idyllic islands in Lake Tanganyika, Tanzania. The journey to this extraordinary place alone is an extraordinary experience and takes place with the island's private helicopter or with a comfortable speedboat.
Lake Tanganyika is the second deepest and longest lake in Africa and an important habitat for many species of fish. The luxurious and comfortable accommodation offers breathtaking views of the lake and the surrounding mountains. The beautiful resort features first class facilities such as fine dining, gym, spa, swimming pool, games room, bar & lounge, boma and a beach hut.
The island was once thick bush and foliage with beautiful trees and was purchased by the owners in 2004. Construction began in the same year and was completed in 2008. Wherever possible, local materials were used and the local population was fully involved.
The Lodge Bar is made from boats that were once used on the water and provides a beautiful setting for the sunset over the lake. The proximity to the main dining room and the newly built observation deck makes it the perfect spot for a refreshing cocktail. The large freshwater main pool is just a short walk from the main area and offers an ideal way to soak up the African sun. The spa and wellness area is located high up on the island's hillside and offers wonderful views of the lake and mountains. Here you can enjoy classic aesthetic treatments with essential oils and massage techniques.
