Kibayo is a true hidden gem. Our room was cozy. We loved the kayak to explore the lagoon and the magical garden where we had amazing Indian food. The hosts are super warm and attentive. Quiet, tucked away location but still close to everything. Loved it!

Such a beautiful stay! The room was spacious and clean, thanks to Ramona. Included breakfast is simple but delicious. The garden is AMAZING, perfect to relax. The curries were incredible. Kayaking on the lagoon was a highlight. The hosts really go above and beyond.

Kibayo is a peaceful oasis. We enjoyed breakfast, cocktails in the garden bar, and delicious dinners. The kayak access to the lagoon was a lovely bonus. The hosts are truly super hosts. It’s hidden, yet close enough to walk to the beach, shops, and restaurants. Highly recommend!
