Kizingoni Beach - Kenya

Kizingoni Beach is a new destination that stretches across 24 acres of pristine beachfront, on the southern end of Lamu Island. It offers seclusion, yet the delights and supplies of Lamu and Shela are a twenty minute boat ride away. The local village of Kipungani is completely unspoilt. From there we receive fish, dhows and donkeys, in turn providing employment and funding for community initiatives.

Local events such a weddings and festivals are celebrated together. Seven houses are available for rental: Kizingoni House, Jahazi House and Kusini House,Wazi Dubu House, Kuni Jogoo House, Kazkazi House and Pepo House. Each house is simply, but beautifully furnished with 4-5 bedrooms, large living rooms, rooftop terraces and a freshwater pool. All bedrooms are ensuite, with private terraces.

The houses come with cook, steward, laundry and a boatcaptain. Boat moorings for your private boat are right out in front. The houses have been carefully positioned to allow privacy and stand on over an acre of land covered with established coconuts and some indigenous woodland.

Frangipani, jasmine and lime trees have been planted in abundance around the houses. From here you can visit historical Lamu Town, take picnics on remote beaches, look for dolphins or go fishing. There is plenty of clean water from shallow wells and plenty of wind and sun to run the windmills and solar panels that provide power and hot water.
