Sophisticated and secluded, Funzi Keys is an idyllic beachside paradise just fifteen minutes flying time from Mombasa. One of Tatler's '101 Best Seaside Hotels' in the World, it lies on a remote and undeveloped island, with views from an enormous free-form swimming pool, of the beach and the bright blue waters of the Indian Ocean.
Vaunting the kind of rustic chic that takes serious investment to achieve, Funzi Keys has nine huge and stylish thatched cottages equipped with vast four posters, jacuzzi baths under striped silk awnings and not much in the way of walls to obscure the view. Open fires are lit every evening in the secluded sitting areas in front of each cottage, making this the perfect place to relax, cool drink in hand, with reality a million miles away. As dusk approaches tranquil sundowner cruises on the hotel dhow precede feasts of fresh seafood, vegetables and fruit.
Overseen by Alessendro and Claudia Torriani, who have a family of their own, they make children of all ages extremely welcome. Diving, snorkelling, dolphin spotting and deep-sea fishing will entertain the whole family especially those who tire of doing very little in one of the planet's most languid and relaxing spots.
