**kiwayu** lamu
Run with effortless charm and insouciant efficiency, Kiwayu takes the concept of flip-flopped indolence and turns it into a fine art. There is nowhere else quite so laidback and carefree, nowhere quite so beautifully under-appointed. Tracey Emin is a fan, as is Roberto Cavalli. The few bandas on one of the best beaches ever flaunt a lack of modern tricks with breezy pride: open-sided, made of thatch, utterly bereft of doors, phones, TV or wi-fi. Check the seagrass matting on the bathroom floor for scuttling hermit crabs before you step out of the shower. Take a slow and lazy sail up the coast or fish for red snapper. The most unplugged place in the world.
