MANDA BAY HOTEL
Lamu Island
Kenya

Introduction

Manda Bay is a small boutique resort on the northern tip of Manda Island, one of the many unspoilt idyllic islands within the romantic Lamu archipelago. The resort is surrounded by indigenous woodland, empty beaches and magnificent coral gardens. Though close to Lamu Island, Manta Bay is far away from the bustle to enjoy some quiet seclusion and privacy.

Camp Description

Manda Bay has 16 cottages are constructed from local materials and designed in keeping with the local landscape. Five of the rooms are set along the seafront with the other rooms set in-between and slightly behind. All cottages have overhead fans, large flowing mosquito nets, en-suite bathrooms and their own private verandas overlooking the Indian Ocean. Meal times are relaxed and casual, served in the dining room, on the beach, on the 60 foot dhow or your private veranda. There is a marine flavour to the cuisine served at Manda Bay. Freshly caught tuna, Mangrove crab and prawns are a Manda Bay delicacy. Manda Bay also actively promotes efforts to preserve the Lamu archipelago and supports development projects for the local community. By setting up ad-hoc funds, it has been possible to provide assistance for the construction of schools, medical clinics and other facilities.
