An exclusive beach resort near Lamu Bay on the northern Kenyan coast, Manda Bay offers 16 spacious and newly renovated cottages with private verandas overlooking the calm waters of the bay.

All the buildings are constructed with local materials in traditional coastal style, with palm-thatch roofs and woven matting covering the floors. The availability of wonderful, fresh seafood and tropical fruit ensures wonderful menus at the restaurant. Romantic candle-lit dinners can also be brought straight to the guest’s verandah so meals can be enjoyed in total privacy. A large swimming pool, a range of watersports, and a 62ft sailing dhow ensure guests are kept entertained between bouts of relaxation. The marine life is extraordinary, with regular sightings of dolphins, turtle and even the occasional humpback whale.
