To get to Manda Island, you land on an airstrip and have to take a boat to Diamond Beach Village. The boat pulls up onto this beach and you grab your bag and head off to your personal grass hut. Because this beach is almost on the Equator, the sand is boiling hot! You cannot walk across the sand in barefeet; you need to wear sandals. ](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/553248635125786549/8f3d1426-923e-4ea7-8617-22a02187706b.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=1040&h=580&q=mediumHigh) ![A large portion of Manda Island is covered in mangrove forests, and it is possible to kayak through them during high tide.](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/3000449858/475a7d2f-b36a-4259-b0f6-e15b3705a8ba.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=1040&h=580&q=mediumHigh) ## Visit Manda Island Things to do - Manda Island Hotel Deals - Vacation Rentals in Manda Island ![The Majlis Hotel](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/24000000/23050000/23044100/23044093/883621ef_y.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=340&ch=150) ### The Majlis Hotel Ras Kitau Bay Manda Island CA $695 CA $821 total Feb 11 - Feb 12 includes taxes & fees Book a stay at this beach hotel in Manda Island.
