Manda Bay Resort is a small private lodge on Manda Island in northern Kenya's Lamu Kiwayu archipelago. Ten spacious cottages line the beach overlooking the calm waters of Manda Bay. Manda Bay Resort is on a secluded peninsular, close to ancient Lamu Town and neighbouring Shela but far enough away from the bustle to enjoy total privacy.
Surrounded by magnificent coral gardens, empty beaches and indigenous woodland, Manda Bay Resort is a glorious destination for both active and leisurely holidays. Its sheltered mangrove creek and the calm waters are ideal for water skiing. Guests can ski at high tide, yet just outside the creek there is generally enough breeze for sailing, wind-surfing and kite-surfing. For keen sailors there is a variety of wind-surfers, a Topper and two Lasers as well as a 22-foot traditional wooden jahazi. For those that have never sailed before the staff are always ready to assist with a few easy lessons. A fleet of five motorboats are always ready to take guests out sight seeing, bird watching or snorkelling in the rich coral gardens close to the lodge.
