Everything is harmoniously built out of locally available natural materials - the spacious beach cottages are built of grass matting and palm fronds. There are no doors or windows, just wide-open spaces which let in the air and visions of sky, sand and sea. Meals are a marvelous medley of the best the Indian Ocean has to offer, succulent crab, lobster and an array of fish, interspersed with salads and Kenyan-grown vegetables (you'll be amazed at how tasty they are!), and of course tropical fruit ripened to perfection -- exquisite simple luxury.
