One of the best resorts on the Kenyan Coast for a couples getaway. Loved every minute that we spent here. Would definitely go back. The staff are extremely attentive and take great care of you. The food menu onsite is very well crafted. Overall a great place to unwind away from all the noise.

We had a wonderful 8 nights, Sylvia and Aldo were so welcoming and all the staff were so helpful. Beautiful relaxing environment and lovely pool. Sylvia arranged for meals out and boat trips which were excellent. Food was delicious throughout our stay. Loved spending time with the 3 dogs too!

We stayed for 3 nights as a family (2 adults and 2 kids aged 8 and 7) at The Charming Lonno Lodge in January 2025. It was a fantastic experience - one of the most relaxing places we have stayed at. Silvia and Aldo were incredible hosts who went out of their way to make sure everything was perfect. This hotel is their baby and therefore the level of dedicated, personal attention that a guest receives from them is unmatched at any other luxury hotels we have stayed at (and a much more personal guest experience compared to large luxury hotel chains). The food is absolutely delicious, fresh and excellent quality - and guaranteed to be fantastic because Silvia and Aldo were eating the same food on site. Our daughter loved playing with their dogs Half, Bea and Nala and we felt truly safe, looked after and relaxed because of the superb person attention of the owners and their staff. Grazie and we look forward to visiting again! Paolo and Maresa

We have stayed at Lonno lodge now 3 times in the last 4 years. This place is by far the best lodge on the Kenyan coast. It has a great location and at walking distance to Watamu at low tide. The pool is amazing. Very relaxing atmosphere and superb service. The rooms are extremely comfortable. Very friendly owners. The 5 course dinners at the pool under the stars are magical.

With Lonno Lodge, Silvia and Aldo have created a piece of heaven in Watamu. We had a wonderfully relaxing week, enjoying the beautiful surroundings, the fantastic food, the excellent service and very comfortable rooms. Nothing has been overlooked. Silvia went out of her way to ensure we enjoyed ourselves and to accommodate our wishes. Without any doubt, we will be returning to Lonno Lodge
