The outdoors has never felt quite this homely. Stefano Pelloni and his wonderful family set out to create a resort centered on "oneness with nature," and they have truly delivered. Every inch of the property is meticulously curated to maintain a heavenly vibe that follows you wherever you go. The lodges offer a beautiful "traditional homestead" feel, but the Bush Bubble Lodge was the highlight for me. It provides such a deep sense of seclusion that while chilling inside, I completely forgot I was in a shared resort. The setup is incredible: outdoor furniture, ambient path lighting, a hammock swing, a catamaran net, and even an outside shower. Inside the bubble, you’ll find a sitting room, bedroom, and full amenities. It’s the kind of place you visit and never want to leave. I could honestly write a book about it, but I’ll let my top highlights speak for themselves. My Top 12 Highlights 1. Genuine Hospitality: From the owners to the staff, everyone is cordial and professional. You feel welcomed in every single interaction. 2. Room Service: They offer complimentary room service (having breakfast delivered to your lodge upon request). 3. The LichtHaus Access: Enjoy free boat rides to and from LichtHaus throughout the day. 4. Evening Bonfires: Perfectly placed bonfire spots are lit every evening. 5. Pool & Jacuzzi: A beautiful swimming pool with an adjoining jacuzzi for ultimate relaxation. 6. The Bubble Spa: The private bathtub/spa setup within the Bush Bubble is a dream. 7. The Jungle Gym: This felt like a real-life extension of The Flintstones! It’s incredibly unique; I’ve never seen anything like it. 8. Hammocks Everywhere: They are scattered throughout the bar, pool, and gym (you’re never far from a place to lounge). 9. Poolside Swings: As a "bouncing baby girl" at heart, I absolutely loved these. 10. Dining: The Red Lobster and Calamari dishes at the restaurant are standout meals. 11.

Staff is really friendly! Specially the people working in the restaurant, bar and the boy at the pool. They are always very willing to help and make your stay special. The place offers incredible views over the Mida creek. The swimming pool area is lovely, the garden is beautiful and well maintained. The food is great, there are plenty delicious options that were well prepared and presented. There is a boat transfer that is free to use between Lichthuis and the hotel, which is very convenient.

Everything was incredibly nice. Really quiet and cozy place with lots of vegetation that made it a small leafy oasis. Great view from the restaurant which had very good breakfast and food and very good service. The view and facilities in the room were unbeatable. We especially liked the net hammocks that hung out over the sea. The pool area was great with very attentive and friendly staff serving towels and drinks. A boat was available whenever you wanted to go over to Watamu.

“Amazing!”
The uniqueness of the resort, the beauty and serenity, not forgetting the amazing/hospitable staff. Food was absolutely lovely, and so were the cocktails 🍸. The view from the bubble room at night was unimaginably great (watching the stars & full moon).

“Most beautiful location in Watamu”
Incredible location with the best hospitality. I would highly recommend! Food was delicious with the high up panoramics views of the bay which are not to be missed at sunset.

The resort is amazing and really peaceful. The location over the Mida Creek is fabulous with a fantastic view. Sleeping in the bubble is an unique experience, you can fall asleep watching the sky full of stars and be woken up by the sunrise. The owner and the staff are very kind and helpful in everything. We had a great time in Rock and Sea and we hope to come back soon.
