Kisiwa On The Beach has 22 stunning villas with large open plan bedrooms and private verandas. The villas are tastefully decorated with white stone and hand made wooden furniture, giving them a natural laid back feel. The tall wooden framed windows provide expansive views of the sea. All the villas have four poster wooden king sized beds elegantly draped with mosquito nets and open onto their own private balcony.There is an in-villa refreshments corner, satellite television and separate showers.
The heavenly views of turquoise waves that lap along the powder-white beach - the perfect inspiration for hours in the sun, or diving into the watersports on offer.
While you could easily spend all day on the beach or in the water, enjoy a bicycle ride through sleepy fishing villages and go for a lunch out at the famous Rock restaurant too.
Some villas are much closer to the beach than others so choose wisely - although all are well-spaced for total privacy.
