Manda Bay is located on the north-western tip of Manda Island near Lamu, one of the many unspoilt, idyllic islands to be found in this enchanting area on Kenya's north east coast. All the buildings are constructed with local materials in traditional coastal style, with palm thatch roofs and woven matting covering the floors. The cottages are spacious and VERY comfortable with their own bathrooms, verandah with lamu swing bed and each is specially sited to catch the cooling sea breezes. There are sixteen private cottages with a choice of double or twin beds, surrounded by large flowing mosquito nets and cooled by overhead fans. The informal dining room and sitting rooms are comfortable, open and airy. They enjoy uninterrupted views of Manda Bay, whose ever-changing waters attract birds, small local sailing craft and spectacular marine life. All rooms are furnished in vibrant Kenyan fabrics, specially designed to compliment the environment. All meals are relaxed and casual, served in the dining room, on the beach, or even on Utumaduni, the hotel's traditional sailing dhow. The availability of wonderful, fresh seafood and tropical fruit dictates most menus but Manda Bay offers wholesome, nutritious home-cooked menus from all over the world to suit any palate. The Italian trained Swahili chef can easily cater to the demands of children and those on special diets. This is a lovely spot that we recommend for a wilderness beach experience. Manda Bay welcomes families and there is plenty to do or not ...as you like. | Style | Barefoot luxury coastal and beach location | | Air/Con | No | | Dining | Yes | | Children | Yes | | No. of Bedrooms | 16 | | Pool | Swimming pool | | Activities | Windsurfing, snorkelling, water skiing, fishing, dinghy sailing, dhow sailing, deep sea fishing. | | Price Range | From £200.00/390.00 per person full board dependant on season. | Find Similar Properties |
