It is easy to get here from Europe, with all overnight international flights arriving well in time to make a same-day Lamu connection, with minimal jetlag. Whether you are a couple or a family, a group of friends or a large wedding party,Kizingoni Beach provides for an unforgettable visit. Our friendly, experienced staff will give you a warm welcome and will enjoy making sure that you find the holiday you need: water activities and adventures or simply superb service and pampering. Kizingoni Beach Kizingoni Beach stretches across 24 acres of golden beachfront, close to the southernmost tip of Lamu Island. There are not many stretches of beach like this left in the world. It offers seclusion, cooling winds, fresh water and clean seas, yet the delights and supplies of Lamu and Shela are a twenty-minute boat ride away. The property is covered with established coconuts and doum palms with some indigenous woodland. We have planted hundreds more coconuts, indigenous trees and tropical shrubs, plus an experimental orchard and covered vegetable garden. There is clean water from shallow wells and plenty of wind and sun to run the windmills and solar panels that provide power and hot water. The beach starts with us, but curves around the tip of the island and stretches a further 12 golden miles to Shela Village. It is virtually empty, apart from myriad crabs, migrant and local sea birds, shells and the occasional donkey troop. Our local village of Kipungani is a friendly and unspoilt fishing hamlet. From there we receive coconut palm products for building, including the makuti thatch for our roofs, makeka for the paths and all our woven carpets. It is also our main supply of staff, fish, dhows and donkeys. Kizingoni Beach provides employment, trade and funding for community initiatives. Many local events such as weddings and festivals are celebrated together. There is plenty to do at Kizingoni Beach, for those looking for an active holiday. We provide various water sports equipment; the swimming, snorkeling and walking is excellent; sailing is possible both in our dhow, Kilindini, and also in smaller hobbie cats from Kipungani Bay; creek fishing and deep sea fishing can be arranged and there is an opportunity for a small safari on the mainland. Kizingoni Beach Activities Kizingoni Beach is a holiday destination with endless opportunities for adventure, sport and pleasure. Many of our visitors are happy to enjoy the peace and excellent service, with the occasional massage — others take full advantage of the many activities there are on offer.
