Kipungani Explorer on Lamu Island - 5*
Located on the ancient Arabian island-paradise of Lamu, Kipungani is one of Africa’s most remote, relaxing, and richly romantic coastal hideaways.

 

 Overlooking the tranquil waters of the sheltered Kipungani Channel, on the remote southwestern tip of Lamu Island, Kipungani is a dream destination for those seeking a true away-from-it-all desert island holiday. After a 90 minute flight from Nairobi, you will be met at Manda Island and transported by boat to the lodge.

 
14 spacious and secluded chalets sit above the soft white sands of Kipungani Bay, which is Swahili for 'the place of fresh air'. Shaded by the palm trees that line 600 m beachfront, the chalets are constructed entirely from local materials.

The large interiors are a picture of rustic simplicity, with giant king-size beds and all furniture handmade from local mangrove and palm woods. Each chalet has an ocean-facing verandah with local funzi sofas and chairs piled high with colourful cushions. Amenities include freshwater showers, flush toilets, and separate dressing areas with wash basins.

The beach-facing lounge and bar at Kipungani are furnished for complete relaxation, with large driftwood furniture and hanging moon beds. In front of the building is a horizon-touching salt-water pool which offers the perfect venue for the ultimate romantic sundowner!

Enjoy a swim in the inviting pool or go windsurfing and waterskiing on the beautiful turquoise sea in front of your cottage. Alternatively you can take a boat to the islands of Kinyika during the neap tides, where scuba diving is excellent, or enjoy a deep sea fishing excursion searching for marlin and barracuda.
