Funzi Keys, South Coast, Kenya

Tucked away on the unspoilt Funzi island in the Indian Ocean, yet only 15 minutes flying time from Mombasa at South Coast, The Funzi Keys' unique appeal is its luxurious seclusion and beautiful natural scenery.

Surrounded by water close to the village Shiraz and superbly located on a west-facing beach offering glorious views of the African sunset, this remote and exclusive hideaway is the perfect place to escape from the outside world in style.

Designed to blend unobtrusively with its idyllic beachfront setting and to reflect the influence of the local culture and coastal architecture, the accommodation consists of ten spacious cottages set along the high-water line and constructed of stone and thatch with large netted windows open to the balmy sea breezes.

Each of the individually designed rooms has a hand carved king-sized four-poster bed and is furnished with local wooden arte-facts and colorful fabrics plus a Jacuzzi with spectacular sea view!

All cottages are provided with fans, safes, and beach accessories in the oversized bathroom. In front of each cottage is a private sitting-area where a camp-fire is lit each night and guests can enjoy a drink and watch the sun go down in total privacy

The food is very much 'as you like it', from a breakfast of fruits, cereals, to bacon and eggs if you want. Safari the chef will ask what you want for lunch and dinner, and every two nights or so there would be a beach barbecue or dinner around the pool, which made for a nice change. The heart of Funzi Keys is the informal lounge and dining area where guests can relax at the dhow shaped bar.

A drink in the bar at sunset has fantastic views.
