Property Description

Designed to offer cool, comfortable accommodation for honeymooners, couples or single travellers ? each banda has its own bathroom and mini-terrace: some made entirely of palm thatch, others with coral foundations.

Sited on a raised sand dune at the center of Kizingoni Beach, the BANDAS share a fabulous pool/dining area with panoramic views of the channel and the ocean. As in the Kizingoni Beach houses, our chefs will deliver a delicious daily menu, which can be enjoyed on the top communal dining deck or in the privacy of your banda.

The KIZINGONI BANDAS have access to a speed boat, on request, and have full use of the Kizingoni Beach water sports, safari and massage services.

At present we have 3 units available for rent, with a further 3 units planned for Xmas 2011. The units available are the Frangipani Banda, the Palm Breezes Banda and the Castaways Banda, Castaways Banda has an attached twin bed extension.

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.
