Kinondo Kwetu

Why we like Kinondo Kwetu

Kinondo Kwetu has an effortless charm, thanks to the wonderful atmosphere, generous hosts and secluded private beach. There is as much choice to be as active or as relaxed as you want.

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.
