Kinondo Kwetu

The main building is a grand, thatched house with tall ceilings and stone floors. You can relax pretty much anywhere – in window seats, at the bar, in the well-stocked library or on the shaded terrace. Carved wooden tables and chairs are set outside on the patio, and there's a teardrop-shaped pool between the terrace and the beach (a larger pool lies behind the lodge). Relish the spa/sauna, the dive centre and the superb 360-degree views from the observation tower.

With seven suites, three cottages, a beach house and the Big Mama Taa Villa to choose from, there's no shortage of accommodation options. The most economical rooms are in the main house – one with en-suite facilities and two sharing a bathroom. The cottages sleep two to four, the double-storey beach house is perfect for a family, and villa is the jewel in the crown, with six en-suite bedrooms, a central lounge and wraparound porch. Kinondo Kwetu is just right!

Unpretentious yet luxurious, Kinondo Kweta is relaxed, colonial-style tropical beach bliss. Listen to monkeys chattering, and don't miss the views from the nearby watch tower.
