Whether you are looking to rebalance your chakras, relax tired muscles with a deep tissue massage or just wanting some well-deserved pampering, the hotel's masseurs await.

Take a stroll along the long stretch of beach - there's 14 kilometres of Indian Ocean frontage. The mangrove forests and sand flats are a bird watcher's paradise, particularly at sunset when birds return to roost. There's a lot of history here, so for those wishing to learn more, visits can be made to the historical sites of Lamu Town and the Takwa Ruins.

Dependent on the tides and currents, there are plenty of watersports here including windsurfing, wakeboarding, water skiing and kite surfing. From October to March you can go snorkelling at Manda Toto.

The Lamu Marine Conservation Trust (LaMCoT) was set up by Carol Korschen in 1992. Its projects include educating the community on the local environment, regular beach clean ups and turtle tagging.
