The name has Arabic origins and means archipelago, referring to the group of islands Mafia is made up of. The area was under German control in the late 1800s, but its early history dates back to as early as the 8th century. Apart from ancient landmarks, the place is home to the first marine park of Tanzania — Mafia Island Marine Park. With coral reefs and wildlife such as whale sharks and sea turtles, it is a true snorkelling paradise. Home to the fames Ras Kisimani and Utende beaches.

A seemingly endless expanse of white powdery sand and clear turquoise water, Playa las Coloradas is another of Cayo Coco's best and most popular beaches, as well as being home to several hotels, including the Melia Cayo Coco, Hotel Pullman and Hotel Sol Cayo Coco.

Loveland Castle, also known as Château Laroche, is a full-scale medieval-style castle built single-handedly by Harry D. Andrews, a World War I veteran, starting in the 1920s. Constructed using stones from the Little Miami River and bricks molded from quart milk cartons, Andrews dedicated over 50 years to this labor of love. When you visit, you can wander through the castle’s towers and narrow halls, check out some old-school medieval weapons, and just soak in the quirky, one-of-a-kind vibe. It's a fun and odd little stop with beautiful gardens and a peaceful riverside spot to hang out afterward.
