Home to Ida and Filip Andersson, a Swedish family related to the famed Baron Blixen, Kinondo Kwetu is often described as a ‘home away from home’ – a paradise for those wanting a more personal experience on the Kenyan coast. Kinondo Kwetu is a small, all-inclusive luxury resort but beyond the accommodations, food, and amenities you would expect, it also offers another kind of luxury – the luxury of peace and quiet, freedom and rest. Located on a tranquil private beach south of Diani, distanced from residential neighbours by rocky cliffs and endless beach, Kinondo Kwetu is classified as a ‘Kaya’ area (protected by the National Museum) due to its surrounding holy forests anddsacred land. With various forms of accommodation, all surrounded by green shady gardens and just a few steps from the white sandy beach, Kinondo Kwetu can cater for up to 38 people and is also able to facilitate exclusive use of selected parts.In addition to relaxing in the sun and swimming in the Indian Ocean, Kinondo Kwetu offers an impressive selection of exciting activities – ranging from watersports such as kite surfing, deep sea fishing and scuba diving, to land activities such as game drives in the nearby Shimba Hills, horse riding and yoga weeks.
Considered by many as the finest villas on the east African coast and perfect for small groups, guests can choose from three villa options: Cliff, Garden or Beach – each sublimely spacious and breathtakingly decorated to reflect the traditions of the region or the spectacular natural surrounds.
