Perhaps explore sacred forests on horseback or try your hand at scuba diving and wakeboarding. Kinondo Kwetu is the ultimate in barefoot luxury; if only we really could call this home.<\/p>\n<h2>Location<\/h2>\n<p>For unrivalled paradise, leave frenzied Mombasa behind and head south along Kenya\u2019s coastal highway.\u00a0 Just an hour later find yourself at Kinondo Kwetu, a secluded oasis of absolute calm on a 150m private stretch of Galu Beach.<\/p>\n<h2>Your Room<\/h2>\n<p>It is here where the namesake Kinondo Kwetu really begins to take on meaning; withdraw from the world to your very own tropical hideaway.\u00a0 Combine childhood make-believe\u2019s of Swiss Family Robinson (the family behind the property are Swedish, but allow us this one) with refined windswept interiors for a kind of castaway chic.<\/p>\n<p>The rooms, housed in thatched cottages dotted amongst the lush gardens, offer all you could possibly desire in terms of home comforts including en suite bathrooms and king-sized beds as well as absolute seclusion.<\/p>\n<h2>Why we like it<\/h2>\n<p>We love this hotel for being exactly what it sets out to be \u2013 Kinondo Kwetu.\u00a0 The lack of crowds and noise, the flexibility to eat wherever you choose and activities which are governed only by nature.\u00a0 Plus, who could not adore the feeling of being utterly deserted yet in complete luxury, the incredible straight-out-the-sea food and the beach (\u2026especially the beach).\u00a0 Paradise found. An idyllic sanctuary after a hectic few days spotting Kenya\u2019s big five or as a honeymoon retreat.<\/p>\n<p>Want to relive your honeymoon but can\u2019t leave the kids? Simple, bring them with you. The resort offers an array of activities that will keep even the most active kids busy. From snorkeling, fishing and boat excursions suitable for young children \u2013 who may even get to meet a dolphin. To kite surfing, kayaking and sailing for teens. Your kids will leave with ecstatic memories and possibly a new skill, like water skiing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Welcome to your Kenyan outpost, your \u2018home away from
