Ideal for doing nothing at all or making the most of exciting excursions, Kinondo Kwetu is a stylish, Swahili-inspired boutique beach retreat – the perfect end to your Kenyan adventure.
The mix of cottages, suites and rooms are scattered within tropical gardens, all within sight of the private beach. Each room has its own charm, furnished and decorated with Swahili culture handicraft and antiquities and features a private verandah with superb views of the garden or sea. The owners, Ida and Filip have made this their family home so there is a wonderfully relaxed, informal atmosphere but the standards are kept high.
All fruits and vegetables are locally grown, with fresh fish and seafood procured from their doorstep – the Indian Ocean. Indulge in a three course lunch by the beach under the shade of the trees or dinner under the stars. Lanterns and candles add a wonderful atmosphere at night regardless of whether you are in the lounge and bar area of the main house or in the garden or on the beach. The fresh lobster – expertly cooked – tastes that much better with a canopy of stars overhead.
Like the lodge itself, the activities on offer are both invigorating and incredibly relaxing. They range from yoga, horse-riding on the beach and spa treatments to kite-surfing, scuba diving and snorkelling. There is even the chance to visit the nearby skate park, set up by Filip for disadvantaged children in nearby communities.
The Kinondo Kwetu Trust, created by the owners of the hotel, has three main activities: to run a health centre for the people in Kinondo, to sponsor studies for children whose parents cannot afford to pay and to support the local primary school.
Kinondo Kwetu is located about 15 kilometres south of Diani Beach, on the remote Galu Beach. The nearest hotel is 2 kilometres away providing you with an exclusive retreat.
