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) ![Adobe](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/2009/7c1daed8-d221-4712-987f-52c386823d8f.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=1040&h=580&q=mediumHigh) --- --- ![](https://forever.travel-assets.com/flex/flexmanager/images/2026/02/06/expedia-sale-2026-desktop-us-ca.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=1400&h=600&q=mediumHigh) ## The Annual Vacation Sale Members save up to 40% on hotels and homes.
