Ras Kutani
Ras Kutani is set on a crescent of white sandy beach, washed by the gentle surf of the temperate Indian Ocean. This position ensures the feeling of being on one's own tropical island. The lodge is flanked by a fresh water lagoon abutting onto a coastal forest, which spills to the edge of the unspoilt and undeveloped beach.
The 9 spacious cottages, with ethnic furnishings, are constructed of natural, local materials that harmonise perfectly with the beautiful surroundings. Situated beneath the cooling canopy of indigenous trees, each cottage has its own en suite bathroom and large veranda offering ocean and lagoon views. On top of the hill with stunning views are 4 suites each having their own private plunge pool, and a family unit without a pool. The temperate seas and proximity of coral reefs ensure a wealth of marine life and interest for those keen on snorkelling. Apart from a variety of colourful fish, dolphins, whales and turtles are frequent visitors to these shores. Snorkelling equipment is provided enabling you to snorkel from the shore. |

For those who prefer a somewhat drier experience kayaks are available to explore the fresh water lagoon. And when the surf is up boogie boards offer plenty of thrills in the surf nearby.
Nature lovers will find their pleasure close to home. The tropical, coastal forest behind the lodge boasts some 132 different species of trees in many of which you can watch the antics of 4 species of monkey, including the spectacular black-and-white colobus. Baboons, wild pigs and the elusive civet cats are also residents of this forested area.
Turtles still come to nest along the shore of Ras Kutani in season, with opportunities for interested guests to become involved in the projects that continue to look out for their welfare.
The deserted beach is ideal for long walks and a chance to experience the enchantment of a tropical shoreline redolent with the history of a continent.
