About
The prawn tagliatelle is the best pasta someone's had in their entire life — that's not hyperbole, that's a direct quote. You'll take a sunset boat ride from Lichthaus to get there, and the ceviche is fresh and worth the jungle trek.

Came for dinner, we were picked up by a boat from Lichthaus so we enjoyed a lovely sunset boat ride on the way to dinner. Food was absolutely phenomenal. The ceviche was fresh and flavourful. And the pasta (prawn tagliatelle) was easily the best pasta I’ve had in my life. 10/10. Service was excellent too. Will definitely be back.

What can we say? The word ‘magical’ cannot do justice to this place. The vision that Stefano and Sara had was truly unique to build such a gem hidden in the jungle. The sunset view was stunning and our lodge was like a nature-living experience. Between the breeze of the night, the baboon awakening, and the charm of the outdoor bathtub we had live resourceful and relaxing stay right after the safari. We had dinner and lunch, the food is also great with a touch of Italian cuisine. We truly hope to come back! Grazie Stefano & Sara per l’accoglienza. ✨✨✨

A unique experience on the Kenyan coast. Everything is stunning. A unique spot of privacy in nature with all luxury amenities. The spa is awesome and very professional with an excellent service. I want to thank Stefano for his warm welcoming and help which led to a unique experience for us! A must to go while in Kenya.

The staff here are lovely. From the lady that took our booking and arranged our boat ride to the staff during breakfast. The breakfast charge including a boat ride was 2000ksh @ adult and 500ksh @ child. The breakfast options are regular but well prepared with generous portions. The homemade cake was a little dense. Cappuccino was fantastic. Overall a lovely experience and the boat ride on the calm sea was awesome.

The views are amazing. We had gone for lunch, we ordered the grilled lobster which was a big size and excellent. The seafood tempura on the other hand was to have lobster, prawns and crab. When it was brought it looked like the pic below. It tasted nice but was expecting a much bigger portion If it was costing 3500. It was more like a starter.
