The Cabanas Lamu

About

Set along the unspoilt south-western coastline of Lamu Island, The Cabanas at Kizingoni Beach are a small collection of contemporary beach cottages designed for travellers seeking simplicity, nature and seclusion. The property is off-grid and sustainability-focused, combining relaxed barefoot luxury with a strong emphasis on wellness and outdoor experiences. Guests are drawn by the peaceful atmosphere, wide sandy beaches and spectacular sunsets, creating an ideal escape for couples, families and adventure-minded travellers alike.  

Rooms

Accommodation consists of one- and two-bedroom beach cottages designed in a rustic yet stylish island aesthetic. Interiors emphasise natural materials, airy layouts and relaxed indoor-outdoor living, with many spaces oriented toward the ocean to maximise sea breezes and views. The intimate scale and cottage layout provide a private, home-away-from-home feel suited to couples or small groups seeking a more independent beach stay.  

Dining

Dining is casual and sociable, typically centred around fresh coastal cuisine served in a relaxed beachside setting. Meals often focus on locally sourced ingredients and seasonal flavours, with an informal atmosphere that reflects the property’s laid-back ethos. Guests can enjoy sundowners at the beach bar or relaxed shared meals that encourage connection and easy island living.  

Activities

The Cabanas place a strong emphasis on wellness and adventure, offering yoga sessions, massage treatments and meditation experiences alongside a wide range of watersports. Guests can enjoy kitesurfing, sailing, paddleboarding and wakeboarding, or simply relax by the elevated freshwater pool overlooking the ocean. The tranquil surroundings also make it ideal for beach walks, sunset watching and slow island exploration.
