Known for its Swahili charm and laid back luxury, it is hard to rival the experience on offer on Kenya's Indian Ocean coastline
Comprising of three completely unique villas, Alfajiri Villas are considered by many to be the finest villas on the East African Coast. Perfect for small groups, guests can choose from the Cliff Villa, Garden Villa or Beach Villa; each beautifully decorated to reflect the traditions of the region or the spectacular natural surroundings. Each villa includes your own butler and offers unrivalled exclusivity, private swimming pools and stunning views of the Indian Ocean.
Kinondo Kwetu is often described as a ‘home away from home’, a paradise for those wanting a more personal experience on the Kenyan coast. Located at the far end of the remote Galu Beach, south of Diani beach, Kinondo Kwetu is classified as a ‘Kaya’ area (protected area) due to its surrounding holy forests and sacred land.
WaterLovers is located on Diani Beach, about 35 km south of Mombasa. This is a fantastic beach property, brilliant for couples and families alike. The property was set up by Riccardo and Valentina, who fell in love with the South Coast at first sight. Today the romantic location continues to appeal to couples, honeymooners and families.
Another stunning Lamu option, this boutique hotel offers 39 exquisite deluxe rooms and suites divided into three beachfront villas. The Majlis restaurant will not fail to impress with a panoramic view of the bay and the finest cuisine. Additional facilities include two bars, two swimming pools and an activity centre that co-ordinates a wide variety of water sport activities.
Manda Bay is a small privately owned boutique lodge located on the northern tip of Manda Island in the Lamu Archipelago. An unspoilt, secluded location where you can switch off and enjoy simplistic beauty in palm thatched cottages and open living spaces. The only access to Manda Bay is by speedboat so guests can enjoy this private island all to themselves.
This exclusively intimate hotel, with only 10 guest rooms each with their own en suite bathroom, balcony and sun-loungers, is singularly personable and highly individual. Miles of expansive and near deserted beaches await discovery, and for those who wish a more active way to spend the day, an 18 hole Championship Golf Course is within three minutes drive from the hotel.
Peponi is a fabulous boutique hotel run by Carol Korschen, whose family house it has been since the 1960s. The food is incredible here. Served up inside or out, it is an experience in itself - excellent, innovative and delicious. The service is equally good. Activities include dhow trips, snorkelling, water sports and excursions into Shela, Lamu Town and Takwa Ruins. A hot favourite of ours.
