Villa Tropicana is a wonderful find as it is hidden from the main road and only approachable from the beach. Its sits 2 kms from Mkondo so you can either drive to El Faro to park and take a short walk along the cliff tops, walk along the cliff tops, or cycle (we have bikes for use). It is a wonderful place to spend some time. The water is known locally to have the freshest water in the area - so it makes for an excellent swimming spot. The restaurant is beautifully positioned for al fresco dining and sits at the end of a small, slim and quiet beach.
