The Charming Lonno Lodge Watamu (Kilifi, Kenya) 1 Verified Reviews | Tablet Hotels

"An Italian couple built the beach getaway of their dreams on a gorgeous stretch of coastline near the fishing village of Watamu, Kenya. Today, it’s the Charming Lonno Lodge, an eight-suite boutique hotel personally presided over by the owners. Though the hotel is very much of its place — built into the rocky landscape looking out over the Indian Ocean, with traditional Swahili beds and artwork by Kenyan artists throughout — it’s also rich with Italian details, from the imported bed linens to the restaurant’s fresh pasta menu and Chianti-heavy wine list. Guest rooms are simple, with exposed brick walls, carved wood details, and ocean views; some have terraces. Set amid beautiful gardens are a saltwater swimming pool and a thatched-roof bar and restaurant. You’re splendidly isolated, but the staff is eager to help plan your excursions into the nearby marine national park and forest reserve." - Tablet Hotels

Lonno Lodge is simply a dream – without doubt the most beautiful lodge I have ever visited. Everything is designed with so much love and attention to detail. The rooms are spacious, spotless, and beautifully decorated, and the entire property feels like a paradise.||The staff is incredibly friendly and attentive, always making sure we felt comfortable and cared for. The food was absolutely fantastic – every meal was a highlight. Silvia and Aldo have truly created a unique oasis of relaxation. They are wonderful hosts who make you feel like a guest in their home rather than just a visitor at a hotel.||Some of our favorite moments included the magical walks during low tide and the e-bike tour, which I can highly recommend. Silvia was always ready to help with anything – from restaurant or shopping recommendations to organizing snorkeling trips.||Thank you for this unforgettable stay! We will definitely be back.

Our stay at the hotel was incredibly enjoyable. We felt comfortable under the care of Sylwia and Aldo, for which we sincerely thank them. They helped us organize our time and explore the surrounding attractions. The hotel is beautiful, situated on a cliff overlooking the ocean, with unique architecture using local materials. The pool is large. It recently opened a new spa.The food was delicious.||||This was our first time in Kenya and we traveled there with some concerns. The hotel has warm and friendly atmosphere that made us eager to return to The Charming Lonno Lodge.||Iza

We just came back from Lonno Lodge and honestly, it was one of the best experiences we’ve ever had. From the first moment we arrived, we felt so welcome. The whole place has such a calm and relaxing atmosphere, and you can immediately tell how much care goes into every little detail.||The rooms are spacious, beautifully and clean. We especially loved waking up to the sound of the ocean and having that incredible view every morning.||Another big highlight for us was the food – every single meal was fresh and flavorful. You could really taste the quality. The staff were amazing as well – always smiling, always ready to help.||We spent our days between relaxing by the pool, exploring the area, and just enjoying the peace and quiet that’s so hard to find nowadays. Everything about our stay felt personal and special, and it’s clear that the owners, Silva & Aldo put their heart into making this lodge a little paradise.||If you’re looking for a place to disconnect, recharge, and just enjoy life, we can’t recommend Lonno Lodge enough. We’re already looking forward to going back one day!

We chose Lonno Lodge after seeing its more than 600 five-star reviews, as we were looking for a serene and peaceful place to unwind. We booked five nights, and it turned out to be the perfect choice.||The service was impeccable, the food was fresh and delicious, and Silvia and Aldo, the gracious owners, went above and beyond to assist with anything we needed. They suggested excellent activities in the Watamu area, made all the necessary reservations on our behalf, and even arranged transportation. Their staff were equally outstanding—always warm, pleasant, and eager to help.||During our stay, we enjoyed a full-day dhow excursion that ended with a breathtaking sunset, indulged in soothing massages, and spent the rest of the time on what they jokingly called their “do-nothing tour”: lounging by the pool and soaking in the exceptional service.||The rooms are beautiful, with stunning views of the Indian Ocean, and we cannot wait to return to experience their remarkable hospitality once again. For anyone planning a stay, don’t miss the top-tower and signature suites—they are truly special!

The Charming Lonno Lodge was the ideal stay after our 8 day-safari! My kids and myself really enjoyed it fully. It is a beautiful hotel at the beach, with wonderful hosts and friendly staff. A place to recommend to all staying in Watamu Kenya!

A fabulous boutique hotel with everything you need to relax, unwind and recuperate. I love going to Lonno, this is my 4th visit, and it just gets better every time. Sylvia and Aldo are excellent hosts with great advice about excursions, dining out, shopping and everything in between. I'm already planning my next visit.
