Phinda Mountain Lodge

About

This lodge is distinguished by its artful tiered design and eco-conscious construction, offering 25 split-level suites, family cottages, and a family suite, each seamlessly integrated into the rocky mountainside. It blends African architectural elements with modern sophistication. Communal spaces—like the open-air boma, stylish bar, and multi-level veranda—are ideal for enjoying fireside dining or panoramic views.

Rooms

Each of the 16 standard suites, six cottages (interlinkable for families), and one expansive family suite features floor-to-ceiling glass, indoor and outdoor showers, a private plunge pool, personal bar, and a wooden deck that overlooks the wild landscape. These accommodations offer generous privacy and focus on bringing nature right to your doorstep.

Dining

Dining at Phinda Mountain Lodge is as atmospheric as its location—whether you’re gathered around the firelit boma under the stars, enjoying open-plan meals on the viewing deck, or creating homemade pizza in the interactive kitchen, each culinary moment is tailored and memorable.

Activity

A broad array of safari experiences awaits: twice-daily game drives, guided bush walks, boat cruises, rhino tracking, birdwatching, and cultural visits. Seasonal marine adventures like scuba safaris or whale and shark swims are also available near Sodwana Bay. The lodge also offers wellness facilities, including a pool, gym, in-room massages, and a peaceful yoga deck.
