Distant Relatives is a new and unique ecolodge, hostel, and backpackers, and an exceptional budget-friendly alternative to the classic hotels and resorts of the Kenyan Coast. The Ecolodge accommodation options include camping, dormitories, safari tents, private rooms, and beautifully designed en suite bandas with their own charming private courtyards.

Their kitchen serves some of the most delicious, mouth-watering, and reasonably priced food on the coast. Wake up to the smell of local Kenyan coffee and go to bed after a full plate of fresh seafood pasta, grilled seasonal vegetables, or some of our signature Friday night wood-fired pizza and free oysters!

Adventurers from around the world gather here to share tales of the road, mingle with the local community, and enjoy some of the most beautiful ocean views and sunsets that Kenya has to offer. In just one hour’s drive from either Mombasa or Malindi, you could be indulging in reef snorkeling trips, moonlit dhow sailing, village walks, beach bonfires, wild cliff adventures, and various live music events.
