THE NOBU VIEW

The stay

A small oceanfront Watamu lodge with tower rooms, independent suites and dining reserved for residents. Lonno suits couples seeking privacy and families choosing appropriate suites. Air conditioning and stairs vary by category.

The Charming Lonno Lodge is a small oceanfront property on Watamu's Kanani Road, with Swahili-inspired architecture and an emphasis on space and privacy. The restaurant serves staying guests, which supports a more intimate daily rhythm.

The room selection ranges from Deluxe Tower Rooms and the Top Tower Room to five suite styles. Family options include a two-bedroom Family Suite with bunk beds, while several other suites use convertible living-room beds for children. Air conditioning varies by category: some rooms rely on natural ventilation, and the Top Tower involves stairs and is not suitable for children.

We would consider Lonno for couples who appreciate a quieter setting or families choosing a suitable suite. The current terms require families with children to book suites, despite older introductory room text suggesting tower cots are possible.
