Property Description

Arriving at the house via the private beach path ? you first see the welcoming pool, positioned between two mature indigenous shade trees, the outside dining pavilion and the swinging beds. A generous veranda offers an expandable seating area, which leads off the internal ground floor baraza area. Although dining usually happens outside, under the makuti-thatched pavilion, there is also an inside dining area complete with concealed fridge and fitted drinks cupboard.

An internal staircase leads up to two ensuite double-bed guest rooms on the first floor and on up further to the second floor where a beautifully proportioned, cool and gracious master bedroom leads off a private terrace, with panoramic views of the sea and palm trees.

The separate guesthouse, standing alongside the main house, has a further ensuite double-bed guestroom plus a poolroom/massage room, which could accommodate an additional single guest.

A fully equipped kitchen completes the property and provides houseguests with the internationally renowned Kizingoni Beach service.

Area Description

Kizingoni Beach stretches across 24 acres of golden beachfront, close to the southernmost tip of Lamu Island. There are not many stretches of beach like this left in the world. It offers seclusion, cooling winds, fresh water and clean seas, yet the delights and supplies of Lamu and Shela are a twenty-minute boat ride away.

The property is covered with established coconuts and doum palms with some indigenous woodland. We have planted hundreds more coconuts, indigenous trees and tropical shrubs, plus an experimental orchard and covered vegetable garden. There is clean water from shallow wells and plenty of wind and sun to run the windmills and solar panels that provide power and hot water.

The beach starts with us, but curves around the tip of the island and stretches a further 12 golden miles to Shela Village. It is virtually empty, apart from myriad crabs, migrant and local sea birds, shells and the occasional donkey troop.

Our local village of Kipungani is a friendly and unspoilt fishing hamlet. From there we receive coconut palm products for building, including the makuti thatch for our roofs, makeka for the paths and all our woven carpets. It is also our main supply of staff, fish, dhows and donkeys. Kizingoni Beach provides employment, trade and funding for community initiatives. Many local events such as weddings and festivals are celebrated together.

There is plenty to do at Kizingoni Beach, for those looking for an active holiday. We provide various water sports equipment; the swimming, snorkeling and walking is excellent; sailing is possible both in our dhow, Kilindini, and also in smaller hobbie cats from Kipungani Bay; creek fishing and deep sea fishing can be arranged and there is an opportunity for a small safari on the mainland.
