About Kinondo Kwetu
Kinondo Kwetu is a boutique beach lodge situated at the far end of the remote Galu Beach, south of Diani Beach in Kenya, positioned 2 km from the nearest hotel for a highly private experience. The property features rooms and cottages individually decorated with Swahili handicraft and antiquities, spread across multiple villa structures including cottages, Mama Taa Villa, Mama Tina Villa, and Alex House. Guests can enjoy two swimming pools, a private stretch of white-sand beach on the warm Indian Ocean, and a wide range of on-site and off-site activities. Three-course lunches and dinners are served in various outdoor settings, using locally grown produce and fresh seafood from the Indian Ocean.
