Kizingoni Beach
A selection of exclusive Swahili beach mansions on one of the world’s most private beaches – The Lamu Archipelago just off the Kenya Coast.
Exclusive, private, pristine
On the southernmost tip of Lamu Island, backed by dunes and palm trees, is Kizingoni Beach, a blue-gold sweep of sand, just a few miles down the coast from the living Swahili museum that is Lamu Town. Privately owned, the beach is deserted; but for a few local fishermen, and two gracious dhows anchored in the deep blue water of the sea channel. Behind it run miles of sand dunes interspersed with palms and low grey-green shrub. Privacy and exclusivity are guaranteed.
Island retreats
The style of these Lamu Kenya properties is distinctive and places ultimate emphasis on relaxation. There are swinging day beds, shaded beach gazebos, breeze-cooled roof terraces, and cool white sofas. Each holiday house also has its own speedboat and captain, available for water sports, marine reserve exploration, BBQs on deserted islands, turtle tracking, swimming with dolphins and more. Two luxury dhows await orders for dawn dives and sunset cruises. Camels can transport ‘sundowners’ up into the dunes.
Our Houses – Luxury Lamu Villas
The Kizingoni Beach Villas are imaginatively designed and finished to the very highest standards.
Each villa is fully furnished in colonial Arab Swahili style — with tropical hardwood furniture and attractive fabrics, fittings and fixtures sourced from Lamu, Kenya, Morocco and the Far East. The feel of the houses is one of space, simplicity, comfort and tranquility — all have numerous shady verandas and terraces, welcoming daybeds, swinging beds and lounging areas — and freshwater swimming pools. Each is a wonderful place in which to stylishly entertain or to simply relax with family and friends.
