Manda Bay Lodge
Manda Bay Lodge, situated on the idyllic Manda Island, is the perfect family escape when visiting Kenya’s Lamu Archipelago.
The lodge offers a variety of accommodation options tailored for families. The 11 Beachfront Rooms are ideal for those seeking proximity to the ocean, while the 5 Palm Rooms, located slightly further back, provide a quiet retreat with sea breezes. For a more budget-friendly option, the 6 Garden Rooms are perfect for families, especially those with older children.
Activities at Manda Bay are endless, making it a haven for adventure-loving families. Children can enjoy kayaking, paddleboarding, and sailing in the safe, shallow waters, while parents can unwind by the pool or participate in deep-sea fishing or snorkelling. Wildlife enthusiasts will appreciate the bush walks and birdwatching, where they can spot rare species like northern carmine bee-eaters. The entire family can take part in excursions to the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Lamu Old Town or embark on dhow sailing trips to nearby islands.
With its laid-back vibe, diverse activities, and family-friendly accommodations, Manda Bay Lodge offers an unforgettable beach holiday, combining adventure, culture, and relaxation for all ages.
