An ecolodge where nature is the ultimate luxury
Our bubble ecolodge was created to offer a truly unforgettable barefoot-luxury experience. Here you can forget the noise of the city and reconnect with nature, wildlife, butterflies and moonlit nights.
We sit on a coral cliff right at the mouth of Mida Creek, the great tidal creek that runs inland behind Watamu. Ancient mangroves, shallows that change colour with every tide, the Indian Ocean on the other side, and your own private bubble under the sky.
Our Panoramic Restaurant is open to day visitors too, whether you are staying with us or coming across the creek by boat for lunch and a sunset.
