Likely The Best Lodge in Watamu

If you're looking for a quiet, beautiful and private location to unwind, i would highly recommend booking a stay with Lonno Lodge.

I spent 2 nights and I wish I had more time, from the owners warm welcome and insightful conversations to the staff who almost pre-empt your ever need ??

Dinner was always amazing, there's a swimming pool and jacuzzi overlooking the ocean and the best part for me aside from watching the sun set with a silhouette of Maasai security guard against the ocean! It had to be the free 4 o'clock tea with freshly baked pastries! ? read less

Highly recommended to those who are searching for just that little bit of extra during a trip to the Kenyan coast. read less

It is difficult to try to sum up just how beautiful this place is. The location is fantastic, a striking combination of the wild surroundings of waves and rock paths to the beach but with stunningly beautiful buildings and an attention to detail in design (both architectural and interior) that in my experience is up there with the finest in Kenya, if not East Africa. Silvia, Aldo and all of their team offer the highest calibre of service, effortlessly providing that almost impossible to achieve balance of attentiveness and genuine care for their guests but without fuss.
We expected to want to visit the other restaurants and locations of watamu but found we could not bring ourselves to leave - the food was simply exceptional.

We will be visiting again, and I could not recommend it highly enough to others. More read less

Everything is perfect about Lonno Lodge - from the meals, to the beautiful ocean views, to the exquisitely decorated rooms and common areas, to the relaxed and casual feel, to the lovely owners and staff. It is the ultimate safari lodge escape on the Indian Ocean. I will go back again with my family! Also not to be missed in Watamu is the opportunity to support turtle conservation by learning about the important work of Local Ocean Conservation. This is a dream vacation for me -- staying in a beautiful place while learning about local conservation issues and the amazing people fighting to protect marine animals and their ecosystem. read less

Lonno Lodge has the most amazing and relaxing atmosphere. We stayed there after a week of safari and just needed to relax by the pool.
We got the recommendation for this place by family members who had been there 9 years ago, and when we mentioned this, Sylvia and Aldo knew exactly who our family members were - and even still had pictures of them all together.
Both Sylvia and Aldo, and the rest of the staff were so sweet and caring, and we enjoyed spending some time with them. Something we really appreciated was the size of the lodge. It wasn’t full, and it wasn’t too big which meant that there was a lot of privacy, even when we were around the other guests.
You are not in doubt of how much they care for their Lodge, and this only enhances the lovely atmosphere created by the coast.
They were more than happy to recommend and help plan excursions such as a tuktuk to the small town, a walk at low-tide to the rocks, massages and many more!
We will definitely be back and will certainly recommend this place!

Thank you Sylvia and Aldo read less
