WELCOME TO

Manda Bay

KENYA COAST

Overview

Manda Bay is a small boutique lodge located on the tip of Manda Island, an unspoiled, secluded island dotted with coconut and doum palms where you can switch off from the rest of the world and enjoy simplistic beauty with miles of soft white sand on a private beach. An idyllic escape.

Rooms

The 22 palm-thatched rooms offer rustic simplicity, the bedrooms having neither shutters nor glass. The Beachfront Rooms are right on the seawall while the Palm Rooms are set a bit further back. The six Garden Rooms are the smallest rooms and are closer together, located towards the middle of the property, more suitable for families with children. All rooms are en-suite with a shower and have oversized mosquito nets, ceiling fans and a veranda with chairs and a swing bed.

Facilities

The lodge has a lounge, bar, dining room, exercise room and a swimming pool.

Water-based activities include kayaking, paddle boarding, sailing and wind surfing. Motorised watersports, such as waterskiing, banana boat rides, and kite surfing (December to April) are available at additional cost from the watersports centre.

Fishing, both inshore and deep sea, is a popular pastime when in season.

On dry land, visit the Manda ruins that date back over 1000 years, and look out for the local wildlife – dik-dik, buffalo, bushbuck, baboons and vervet monkeys live on the island.

Our thoughts

" Manda Bay’s rustic charm is the epitome of barefoot luxury.

Take time to visit Lamu town, the UNESCO World Heritage Site is a 20 minute boat 

ride away. "

"A fabulous family holiday!!! We really felt we were in the middle of the Great Migration, right on the Wildebeest trail. It was extraordinary just to see the numbers of them. The balloon ride was stunning. Our Internal flight back was delayed a bit due to thousands of Wildebeest and Zebra crossing the runway for at least half an hour. We couldn’t have wished for a better send off!!"

" We had a fantastic time and were incredibly happy with our Kenyan safari and beach stay. It was extremely well planned and well worth the money. Thank you so much for all your help. 😊"

"The Sheldrick Orphanage was a great way to spend time in Nairobi - it was lovely to see the young elephants. We obviously adopted one! The tents and food on safari were great! Lots of space and all the amenities we needed. The food throughout was excellent, there were lots of Vegetarian and Vegan options. The whole trip was amazing and we've certainly got some wonderful memories and millions of photos! Everyone we met was so lovely and nothing was too much trouble. "

"We were staggered by the professionalism throughout, the care & attention to ensure that we made the best use of our time was heart warming. We did a sundowner helicopter flight resulting in a G+T on a small ridge at 6500 feet watching the sunset… The food at both camps was good enough to serve in any high end restaurant around the world. A Birthday cake arrived on our last night, carried in by all the Masai staff, some dressed in their robes & singing. The trip was a huge success on so many levels. We wouldn’t have changed a thing. Thank you for all the fantastic organising. "
