Manda Bay

From: €3,009

Manda Bay is backed by dense tropical forest and surrounded by coral gardens along a sandy beach on a sheltered creek. It is completely secluded and private, yet is only 30 minutes by boat from historic Lamu Town. The ten cottages have their own verandahs and feature natural wood furniture and palm-thatched roofs. There is informal beachside dining and plenty of watersports to try. Further out in the bay, the steady breezes are ideal for sailors and windsurfers.
