Discover a truly unique retreat with this exquisite beach bungalow in Manda Bay, Lamu, Kenya-a place where the clear blue island waters are merely steps from your door. This poetic villa is situated on an idyllic island that feels wonderfully remote, with endless sands and dhows gracefully drifting across the bay, yet conveniently accessible with a short 1 hour and 20-minute flight from Nairobi, followed by a quick boat ride from the airstrip.
