Our take

About Kinondo Kwetu

Kinondo Kwetu is a secluded, family-owned boutique beach retreat located on a quiet stretch of Kenya’s south coast, just beyond Diani Beach. Surrounded by ancient coastal forest and the Indian Ocean, it offers a serene escape where barefoot luxury meets warm Swedish-Kenyan hospitality.

Kinondo Kwetu is located on a tranquil private beach on a 16 acre plot south of Diani Beach, distanced from residential neighbours by rocky cliffs and endless beach. Family-owned and run by Ida and Filip Andersson, who live on site with their three children, you can be sure of warm and personal service - the meals here are also excellent and really fresh, and are served in a variety of gorgeous locations: think lunch in an antique boat on the sand, or dinner on the beach under the stars.

We recommend Kinondo Kwetu selectively according to season, routing, room availability and the experience offered by the other stops in your itinerary.
