Manda Bay

Manda Bay

Billed as an exclusive resort, the lodge consists of 20 large bandas all with en-suite bathrooms and beautifully tailored interiors, each with a stunning veranda and hammock from which to enjoy the 180° views. The onus here is simply to relax, be that by doing one of the many water sports on offer (from water skiing to deep sea fishing) or just kicking back with a backgammon board and a cocktail.

Manda Bay is surrounded by magnificent coral gardens, empty beaches and indigenous woodland, and is a glorious destination for both active and leisurely holidays.

All the buildings are constructed with local materials in traditional coastal style, with palm thatch roofs and woven matting covering the floors. The cottages are spacious and comfortable with their own bathrooms; they are specially sited to catch the cooling sea breezes and all have verandas.

There is a choice of double or twin beds, surrounded by large flowing mosquito nets and cooled by overhead fans. Modern Satellite communications and good cell phone coverage, allows email and telephone access to the outside world, if required.

The informal dining room and sitting rooms enjoy uninterrupted views of Manda Bay whose ever-changing waters attract birds, small local sailing craft and spectacular marine life. All rooms are furnished in vibrant Kenyan fabrics, specially designed to compliment the environment. All meals are relaxed and casual, served in the dining room, on the beach, or even on Utumaduni, Manda Bays' traditional sailing dhow.
There is a wonderful selection of cuisine. Fresh seafood and tropical fruit dictates most menus but Manda Bay offers wholesome, nutritious home-cooked menus from all over the world to suit any palate. The Italian trained Swahili chef can easily cater to the demands of children and those on special diets.
