Chez Donéo — Off-Grid Beach House in Kilifi
Welcome to Chez Donéo, an off-grid, eco-friendly beach house on the Kilifi coast where barefoot luxury meets coastal adventure. Watch magical sunsets from the party deck, lounge on the giant cargo net above the music room, or swim and peer through the underwater pool window. Enjoy chef-prepared meals, music in the jam room, and a Dhow trip under the stars. With private boat access and a warm hosting team, Chez Donéo is designed for relaxed gatherings and memorable escapes.
The house sleeps comfortably across three spacious bedrooms with king beds, ensuite bathrooms and closets, while one bedroom faces the ocean and two overlook lush gardens. A fourth sitting room looks directly into the underwater pool window and can be converted into a cosy kids’ bedroom. The central open-sky atrium fills the home with natural light and fresh air, while a rooftop deck and a giant freshwater pond add quiet places to unwind and watch local birdlife.
Highlights and practical details:
Party deck with wood-fired pizza oven and full bar, available for private events up to 150 guests (event and catering fees apply).
Two outdoor bathtubs for slow, relaxing soaks.
A giant cargo net suspended over the music room for lounging or reading.
