Manda Bay

From: £2,220

Surrounded by magnificent coral gardens, empty beaches and indigenous woodland, Manda Bay is a glorious destination for both an active and leisurely holiday. The calm waters in the creek are ideal for a variety of water sports and further out in the bay, a good breeze makes for great windsurfing or sailing. Shaded by coconut palms, acacia and tamarind trees, the resort overlooks the pure beaches and calm waters of the bay. Small, private and exclusive, yet Manda Bay is only a 30-minute boat ride from the ancient culture of Lamu Town.
