White Stone Beach Resort: Chill, Unwind, Relax
In the northeast area of Rusinga Island, nestled between Kiumba and Lwanda Rombo, is a salubrious, sandy beach, along a beautiful lakeshore aptly dubbed the coast of western Kenya. Here, travellers can walk the length of a peaceful beach, at one of the developed, if not the most developed, island in Kenya. With ample time, you can retreat into the island, or take a boating trip to sight several islands.
Around Rusinga Islands are a hatful of commendable and sufficient resorts and hotels. At the modish White Stone Beach Resort you select one of three room-layouts – king room with lake view, superior room with lake view and deluxe double or twin room – with all options offering air-conditioning, private balconies, television with satellite channels and complimentary wifi. Other amenities here include; bar, lounge, garden and in-good-condition hop-on hop-off boat taxis.
An early morning continental-style breakfast ushers in a day of adventure around Rusinga Island. Then suitably fortified with one of a handful of comfortable and motorized boats sail to Ngodhe, Mfangano, Takawiri, Ringiti and Mbasa Island. An early morning start from White Stone could bring you back in time for lunch.
In the cooler part of afternoon guides are at hand to take guests into the island to some of its famous rock art sites and Tom Mboya Mausoleum, arriving back just in time to get their fix of the memorable island sunsets. The time to go is between November and March, which avoids the rain season, although generally-speaking the weather is favourable throughout the year – hottest in February. White Stone Beach Resort is situated about 6 km north of Mbita Point, along a motorable road.
