📍LAMU
Manda Bay, a gem on Kenya’s breathtaking coastline, offers the ultimate retreat for families, honeymooners, and couples seeking a ‘no shoes, no news’ paradise. Nestled on the tip of an untouched, idyllic island in the Lamu archipelago, this charming boutique lodge invites you to shed your shoes and immerse yourself in the serene beauty of palm-thatched cottages and open-air living spaces.
At Manda Bay, relaxation takes center stage for many guests: lounging by the pool with a good book and a cocktail, paddle boarding through tranquil mangroves, napping in a hammock, or strolling along the private beach soaking in the serenity. For those seeking adventure, Manda Bay offers an array of watersports equipment and the thrill of deep-sea fishing aboard our boat, Cheza, ensuring endless entertainment.
Manda Bay offers beautiful beach front accommodation, informal pampering and barefoot luxury. All the buildings are in keeping with the local landscape and are constructed using local building techniques incorporating palm leaves and driftwood.
Four Garden Rooms offer a simpler, more budget-friendly option, perfect for families looking for an affordable getaway.
Eleven Beachfront Rooms provide direct access to the Indian Ocean, allowing you to dive in right from your private veranda.
Five Seaview Rooms, set slightly back from the beach, offer the same stunning ocean views.
Spend a day on the Manda Bay fishing boat ‘Cheza’. Try your luck at deep sea fishing and have the chance to catch a yellow fin tuna, sailfish or wahoo to name a few.
Take the family on a water-sports excursion with our large array of equipment including banana boats, screamers, laser sailboats, kayaks, water skis, wake boards and snorkelling equipment. Manda Bay is an ideal location to teach many of these activities to first-timers, as the sea surrounding the lodge is safe, calm and warm.
Immerse yourself in some local culture and take a boat ride to the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Lamu. Do a walking tour and some shopping in this fascinating historical town.
Hire a private ‘dhow’ (sail boat), go snorkeling and enjoy a picnic lunch on board one of these historical boats. A dhow safari takes you to nearby islands to visit pristine beaches, isolated villages and historical ruins that tell of the cultural and natural treasures that are nestled within the region
While staying at Manda Bay, leave the white sandy beaches to explore the bushy lands behind the lodge. There are many animals on Manda island, include a resident herd of buffalo, which can be viewed from Manda’s famous blue safari car.
