Kizingoni House

Kizingoni House is one of four exclusive and secluded private homes, on the beautiful island of Lamu off the Kenyan coast. All are characterised by exquisite taste and an outstanding setting, a perfect retreat for total privacy and relaxation.

Kizingoni House has been built and positioned to take full advantage of the west facing view for spectacular sunsets and sea views and to catch the sea breezes throughout the year. The large central living/dining room is simply designed in the Swahili style with traditional plasterwork and wooden beams, with a magnificent locally crafted dining table.

There are four baraza (meeting/sitting) areas - in the protected courtyard garden, next to the plunge pool, on the first floor terrace and finally on the roof with fabulous views of the sea on both sides of the peninsula. The house has four bedrooms, all with bathrooms en-suite and each with a private balcony with sea views. The large master bedroom faces west with superb sea views framed by coconut palms. Its spacious bathroom has a Swahili style bath and from the bedroom there is direct access to the roof top patio and bar area. The pool has a separate bathroom and changing room. The house is furnished with traditional Swahili items of furniture and antiques from around Africa and Asia.

A private boat and captain allow you to explore the area’s marine life with ease. A private chef and masseuse are also available to complete the holiday experience.
