• Jennifer Boorer offers you a unique experience of body awareness through relaxation with Pilates, elements of yoga and more, on the tropical island of Manda, in the beautiful East African archipelago of Lamu.
• Diamond Beach Village offers an alternative to the concrete hotel, more of a Robinson Crusoe experience. The immaculately constructed bandas are made from natural Kenyan materials and are equipped with modern amenities. Traditionally designed with high windows, the sea breeze flows through, making them the ideal retreat from the African sunshine. Individually spaced to offer privacy, each is unique and traditionally decorated with an outside wooden patio, chairs and tables. The bandas are set in the gardens with drift wood and coral sculptures, hammocks and swing beds, bird baths and trees for shade.
• All banda's are provided with cotton sheets, towels and mosquito nets. Each has a mains plug with a double British socket and all have electric lighting between the hours of 7pm and 10pm, after which paraffin lamps are provided.
