Kiwayu is situated forty kilometres north of Lamu, off Kenya’s remote North Coast. It nestles amongst sand dunes overlooking a sheltered lagoon and the Indian Ocean. Staying in spacious cottages (crafted by hand from local materials), spread out along one kilometre of private sandy shoreline, guests will experience tranquillity and ultimate privacy.

All one can hear is the sound of the sea, the wind rushing through palm leaves and the melodic twitter of exotic birds. Kiwayu is a natural, simple but luxurious retreat. Miles of deserted beaches with soft white sand and the soothing sound of waves will soon awaken the senses and lead you back to nature’s eternal rhythms.

Kiwayu offers a retreat to those who wish to return to a natural lifestyle and who desire contact with the best and most simple sea-faring life that Kenya can offer.
