Kinondo Kwetu

Facilities

With five different types of rooms and villas on offer, there is something here for everyone – from spacious family villas to intimate, smaller rooms for couples. Every one of the rooms, however, is full of charm and decorated with beautiful Swahili fabrics, adding a splash of colour to the cool, dark interiors and whitewashed stone walls. Four-poster beds feature in all the rooms and, as well as private verandas with great views of the gardens and sea.

At night, lanterns and candles add a wonderful atmosphere. Dinner is served either in the lounge and bar area of the main house – rich in rugs and African artefacts – or under one of the larger trees in the garden or on the beach. The fresh lobster – expertly cooked – tastes that much better with a canopy of stars overhead.

Activities

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.
