Island Escapes take ocean sports seriously and offer arguably the largest choice of water-sports on the Island. Add to the mix a huge choice of other activities including running, yoga, personal training, volley-ball, table tennis and beach cricket - any action heros out there will be kept stoked. For more details explore our professional water-sports centre at Surf & Soul

Island Escapes is loved for its child-friendly environment. Huge, quiet beaches to safely run and play anytime of day, with friendly and approachable staff to help. Our villas all sit beachfront so no getting lost and just a few steps to the fun, that’s if you manage to leave your fabulous private pool. Kids can head down to our water sports centre Surf & Soul next door for an action packed day learning new skills and staying active. The little ones can rest under the shaded beach front swing-bed pavilion and watch the beach entertainment. Parents can indulge in friendly and affordable child-care available (please pre-book) and retreat to our Zen Den Spa or head out for a kitesurf lesson or deep sea fishing experience. We’ve got something for everyone. Make sure to pre-book all kitesurf and fishing to ensure availability.

Bespoke is our speciality. We know that everyone has their own vision of the ‘perfect holiday’. We will do our utmost to ensure we cater to your version of perfection.
You can carve out the holiday you deserve, be it exploring our world heritage sites and rich history and culture of Lamu town or hiding away on a breezy, swing bed to finally finish that book. Perhaps you want to tick off that bucket list and learn how to kitesurf or start yoga. We can help you design your dream from day to day.

We’ve got you covered. Take the weight off your shoulders and let our ‘romance team’ help you create the perfect scene, location and atmosphere for that life-changing moment. As part of our Proposal Package we offer you photos and a video of the proposal so you can treasure it always.
We’re all about respecting and celebrating the importance of romance in our lives – it would be our absolute pleasure to discuss in confidence the details surrounding your proposal before your visit and help you make it pure magic.

Take a short boat trip to our own treasure island, something out of a children's story book. There are always plenty of fish and luminous corals to find in the rocky surroundings of ‘treasure island’ and when the Dolphin season comes around, they can be sometimes found playing around its shores. An unforgettable experience: swimming with dolphins.

The Zen Den is where we invite guests to enter a realm of natural simplicity while our practitioners help them unplug from the stimulation of everyday life and surrender to the healing, slow pace of island life. Our guests can choose to visit the Zen Den at any time during their stay for a massage, reflexology, wraps, scrubs, yoga, meditation and more. To learn about the beautiful story behind this spot on the island and learn more about what we offer, visit the Zen Den Page.

Even though we are on a remote island, we strive to provide the best internet that we possibly can. We do this by optimizing our internal network and using the best equipment possible.
