Welcome to LalaGalu

Less screen time.
More sea time.

Fourteen individually spaced timber cabins and one two-bedroom Family Cabin. Bare feet on concrete floors. A private deck for that book you keep meaning to read. No televisions; curated soundscapes. You can take it from here.

Stay a little

A room to exhale.

King beds, walk-in rain showers and a minute between your door and the sand. Choose your kind of hideaway.

Sunnyside Up · Restaurant & bar

Good food.
Good mood.

Open on three sides to the beach. Open to everyone. Breakfast becomes lunch, lunch becomes a cocktail, and suddenly dinner sounds like a very good idea.

Seafood, pasta and something cold. Hotel guest or just passing through, pull up a chair.

Follow your curiosity

Plans are
entirely optional.

Kitesurf straight off the beach or take the scenic route by dhow. There is a world beyond your deck, whenever you feel like it.

Catch the breeze.

Kitesurfing and dhow sailing, with the Indian Ocean doing most of the talking.

Take the long way.

Cycle in Kaya Kinondo forest. Ride a camel or horse along the beach.

A little you time

No timetable.
No problem.

A gym on your schedule. Spa treatments with natural products, booked ahead. A pool for absolutely no particular purpose.
