Honoring the loyal rise and fall of the tides, faithful companion to the pull of the Moon, Sun, and Earth’s rotation, TIDES is our soothing baby blue oasis with 360 degree views of the front and back sand dunes. Built on a wood-latticed coral floor, TIDES is lined with woven palm leaf walls and decorated with colorful hand-carved fish made from recycled wood in Lamu town.

Two balconies - accessed by Casuarina tree ladders - provide panoramic views to both the Indian Ocean and the back dunes. Lounge on either one and with the help of the KASKAZI or KUZI, our seasonal trade winds, let your soul be carried to distant shores on the soothing waves of the tide.

Gently sway on the swing bed overlooking the enclosed front garden and take in the myriad sounds of the water as the tide moves in and out. You may just dream of dancing sea foam waves created by the forces of the Indian Ocean meeting the Lamu channel at high tide, or of the beautiful, marbled sand formations left behind when the tide is out.

• Double bed

• Hand-carved wood chest for safe-keeping of valuables
