KINONDO KWETU - a private hideaway on the beach of the Indian Ocean.

Kinondo Kwetu is situated on the south coast of Kenya, 1 ½ hours ride south from Mombasa, on the beach of the Indian Ocean. With room for no more than 38 guests, you will always find your own private spot at Kinondo Kwetu, which makes it a very special hideaway for honeymooners.

This is where we live. It is our home on the Indian Ocean. And it will be yours,too, for as many days as you choose.That is why we call it A Home Away From Home.

It is also the perfect place to gather family or fiends for a private celebration or wedding. With two kitchens in separate buildings, the place can easily be divided into two, making it possible for companies of 10-20 or 30-40 to stay for themselves. It is also the ideal spot for corporate retreats. On the grounds, you find two pools, one of them with a depth that allows training for PADI diving certificate, three horses, and, from February 2008, a tennis court. Kinondo Kwetu’s dhow and outriggers are out on the water, waiting to take you sailing.

Kinondo Kwetu is a small, all-inclusive luxury resort owned and operated by us,a Swedish family. But beyond the accommodations, food, and amenities you would expect,it also offers another kind of luxury.

We are talking about the luxury of peace and quiet. Of freedom and rest. No pumping music at the pools. No noise from crowds at the bar. No jostling for space on the beach. No roaming trinket sellers. Kinondo Kwetu is a home, not an entertainment centre.

We think you will love it as much as we do.

Kinondo Kwetu and its operation are working in harmony with the village Kinondo and its inhabitants, many of which are working at the hotel. In order to facilitate the life of the villagers we have founded Kinondo Kwetu Foundation.
