We were lucky to spend 5 days with friends at Thala in August 2008. A unique resort and location and ideal for a quiet relaxing holiday. We were lucky to have booked the Sandpiper Suite which was a bit over our budget but worth it for the location and views of the beach and ocean. Our friends had a standard... more

Our expectations of luxury after the wilderness camps of the Kimberley were fully realised, not only in the material sense, but in the warmth of welcome throughout our stay from every member of staff.

The bungalow is simple, and like all the Thala buildings, made of natural, local materials –... more

The room... more

The Thala Beach Resort is an amazing paradise, where you can relax in the middle of wildlife and tranquillity. The beach huts/lodges are beautiful and perfectly equipped.
