Funzi Keys

The Funzi Keys is a private luxury lodge built in an inspired Swahili style. Each of the nine spacious cottages is individually designed, with spectacular and uninterrupted sea views.

Tucked away on an unspoilt island in the Indian Ocean, yet only 15 minutes flying time from Mombasa, Funzi Keys’ unique appeal is its seclusion and beautiful natural scenery. Surrounded by water and superbly located on a west-facing beach with glorious African sunsets, this remote and exclusive hideaway is the perfect place to escape from the outside world. The heart of Funzi Keys is the informal lounge and dining area where guests can relax at the dhow-shaped bar. The nine stone and thatched cottages (including two family cottages) are designed to blend into the beachfront setting. Water sports for the more active visitor include snorkelling, windsurfing, sailing, canoeing and water-skiing; deep-sea fishing and scuba diving can be arranged locally. Others may choose to explore the Ramisi River to glimpse brilliant kingfishers and rare tropical birds.
