About Manda Bay

Manda Bay is a remote, fly-in beach lodge situated on the northern tip of Manda Island in the Lamu Archipelago. This idyllic coastal escape offers a blend of rustic charm and refined comfort, with spacious, open-air cottages tucked along the palm-fringed shoreline. The landscape is a picturesque mix of pristine white sand, turquoise waters, and ancient mangrove forests. Guests can enjoy a variety of activities including deep-sea fishing, sailing, windsurfing, and guided walks through the island's unique flora and fauna. It is an exceptional choice for those looking to combine a traditional bush safari with a peaceful, authentic coastal experience, far from the reach of mass tourism and busy resort hubs.
