Zebu Kite
Lodge
A sanctuary designed for those who seek the wind. Wooden bungalows, steady breezes, and the quiet rhythm of the coast.
500+ kite enthusiasts hosted
Coming 2030
The site is in construction and we can’t wait to see you. We’re building something calm, woody, and wind-ready on the Kenyan coast.
Slow down by the water
Zebu Kite Lodge is a small, wind-facing hideaway on a quiet stretch of coast. We built it around the things that matter most: good sleep, good wind, and the kind of silence you only find near the ocean.
Steady wind
Reliable conditions for most of the season.
Warm water
Shallow, clear flats right in front of the lodge.
Sunset hours
Long golden evenings on the beach deck.
Wooden bungalows, sea air, quiet nights
Each bungalow is built from local wood and designed to stay cool and calm. Large windows open onto the garden or the beach, and every bed faces the breeze.
- Private wooden deck with hammock
- En-suite bathroom with open-air shower
- Daily housekeeping & fresh linen
- Beachfront or garden views
Four villas, one quiet beach
Our villas sit just above the high-tide line, each one built from local timber and thatch. Wake up to the sound of the lagoon and walk straight onto the sand.
Ocean villa
Front-row view of the kite spot from your private deck.
Garden villa
Shaded by palms, closest to the bar and hammocks.

Two bedrooms and a shared lounge for small groups.
Solo cabin
Compact, calm, and perfect for travelling riders.

Hand-stretched dough, local toppings, and sunset slices on a wooden deck above the sand.
Coconut Deck
Fresh coconuts, tropical juices, and light bites served in the shade of the palms.
Iroy Reggae Bar
A laid-back beach bar where the music is reggae, the rum is local, and the fire pit stays lit.
Find your way around
Hidden bungalows in the bush, the pizza banda, Coconut Deck, Iroy Reggae Bar — and a sandy path straight down to the kite beach at Turtle Bay.
Days on and off the water
The lodge sits between the lagoon and the hills, so there is always something to do — whether the wind is up or completely still.
Lagoon sailing
Traditional pirogue trips across the flats with a local skipper.
Snorkelling
Boat out to the reef for clear water and quiet coral gardens.
Village rides
Bikes for the coastal track, markets, and the lighthouse point.
Guided hikes
Morning walks through the hills for views over the whole bay.
Downwinders
Guided kite runs along the coast with boat support.
Fishing mornings
Head out with the fishermen and cook the catch at the lodge.
More than a kite trip
When the wind rests, the lodge keeps its rhythm. Fresh seafood dinners, shaded hammocks, and slow walks along the shore.
Lodge & gardens
Thatched bungalows tucked into the hillside, steps from the sand.
Downwind adventures
Guided downwinders along the coastline for experienced riders.
