Manda Bay Lodge

A privately owned, much loved boutique lodge - offering the ultimate ''no shoes, no news" experience away from reality for a while. It's as laidback as can be yet days can be as thrilling as you like, with a myriad of watersports on offer or a more tranquil sunset dhow sailing boat trip with lunch or a voyage into Lamu town. The lodge and each of the beautiful rooms are in keeping with the local landscape, constructed using palm and driftwood and local building techniques and each with wide open windows to let the lovely sea breeze circulate. The beautiful beach is unspoilt and the perfect spot to kick back, relax, and watch dhows drift on the horizon from the comfort of your swing bed.
