Manda Bay - Coast - Kenya

Manda Bay is located on the northwestern tip of Manda Island, one of the many unspoilt, idyllic islands to be found in the romantic Lamu archipelago. It lies in calm inshore waters on a long sandy protected beach. With miles of soft white sand, fascinating creeks and small islets to explore it makes a perfect retreat for both family groups and honeymooners alike.

In keeping with the local landscape and artisans the accommodation consists of ten cottages constructed from local material. Five rooms are set right on the seafront and five are set in between and slightly behind the ocean rooms on higher ground. With five doubles and five twins, families can also utilize two of these rooms, which easily adapt to a comfortable triple layout. There is a central dining room and bar area featuring locally crafted Lamu furniture and overlooking the bay with a separate secluded lounge area perfect for unwinding over an ocean sundowner.

Having its own private, fully fitted sixty foot traditional dhow – Utamaduni – it’s possible by arrangement to organize longer two to three day cruises exploring the uninhabited islands of this fascinating archipelago.

With owners of Manda Bay living at the lodge, the personal attention to detail is excellent. Cuisine naturally features a marine flavour - freshly caught tuna, giant crab or lobster are the order of the day, but individual needs and flexible mealtimes are designed to fit in with guests requirements.

Exploring nearby mangrove creeks and long-left ruins, visiting the many islets or deep sea fishing for the elusive marlin or sailfish are just a few of the many explorations to be taken. Families find Manda Bay most welcome with its gently sloping beaches and easy, safe snorkelling in water that is warm, gentle and clear.
