Overview of Kinondo Kwetu

Kenya, Diani Beach

A peaceful beach resort, Kinondo Kwetu is situated on the beautiful Kenyan coast, just one hour from Mombasa and a short drive from Diani Beach. This intimate lodge offers beach luxury in a relaxed and laidback atmosphere. Kindo Kwetu is the only hotel on the private Galu Beach and is surrounded by lush coastal forest.

Kinondo Kwetu is the ideal beach holiday location where you can spend lazy days on the beach and swimming in the warm waters. Other activities that can be enjoyed include diving, snorkelling, horse riding, tennis and cultural visits to local villages. Explore the forest or go on boat excursions to Paradise Lost Island.

Of course, you could just find a hammock and make yourself comfortable for the afternoon, and iced drink at your side and the swaying palm trees above you…

 

Make a Positive Impact Through Travel

With the help of guests, who contribute a levy of US$ 5 for each night that they stay at an Asilia property, Asilia is able to make a significant positive impact towards their goal of empowering these areas, including the communities and wildlife that call them home.

Kinondo Kwetu: A great way to decompress after 7 days of early morning game drives: Great hosts and staff, very relaxing and delicious seafood…what’s not to love! Robin, our bartender, even went outside and picked a pineapple, so he could make me a mai tai…now that’s service!
