From the warm welcome from Silvia and Aldo to the beautiful views from my room and not to mention great hospitality from all the staff.
As a solo female traveller, I often feel out of place in many establishments. I loved how the staff made me feel welcome and offered me the space to be alone but also available for a chat especially after a long day of excursions.
The chef prepared delicious fresh meals which were beautifully paired with good quality wines.
Silvia organised some activities with a local guide and was also very helpful in getting me a taxi when I needed one.
I could go on and on about my great experience but if you are looking for a relaxing holiday, a home away from home and in my case, a place where you can comfortably work from home, then do not hesitate to book your stay!

Thank you, Silvia and Aldo. I will definitely be back More read less

Lonno lodge is a wonderful place with extremely the best sea views especially from the tower room which we stayed in. I loved the view of the sunset from the top tower room, the views from the swimming pool were very calming and beautiful. The food was delicious and the portions were very filling. We loved how Sylvia and Aldo ensured that everything was well taken care of, from our meals, activities etc. The staff are very friendly and welcoming with a hearty smile and also very helpful especially Alan who ensured our meals and drinks came on time. I also loved how Aldo and Sylvia assisted my Fiancé in planning the most incredible engagement proposal, it was amazing. Thank you Aldo and Sylvia.

We will definitely be back soon!! More read less

It felt like coming home, albeit to a home much more elegant and pampering than our daily life. Food was delicious, rooms stylish clean and comfortable, and the setting is spectacular. We spent hours exploring tidal pools from the hotel and swimming in the gorgeous pool. There are countless activities you can undertake in Watamu and they are in close range. With everything outdoors, a limited number of rooms and strong COVID protocols, we felt very safe. We can't wait to get back. read less

We recommend the top tower room which has it's own beautiful, private rooftop terrace with a stunning view! The beautiful, lush grounds and direct access to the sea also make it very special.

Silvia, Aldo, their team (and their lovely, very well behaved dogs) were charming, and did everything they could to make our stay special. The meals were large and delicious, using great local produce - lots of delicious seafood with Italian and Swahili influences. Great wines, cocktails and more...

We can't wait to go back 🙂 More read less
