IN LIFE, some times we just need to step back and escape — for a while. Whenever you get to that point, you’re more than welcome to join us at the only lazy lagoon pool of its kind on the island. Our cheery Charlie Claw’s team will make sure that you’re well looked after — with minimum distractions.

AFTER OUR guests have enjoyed a tasty seafood and Swahili lunch, they’re free to relax in our Lazy Lagoon pool — or explore the charms of Wasini Island. The coral garden where the Wasini Women’s Boardwalk sits atop is a place that reminds one of Stonehenge — but from a different vantage point.
When the full moon approaches, this area is completely covered by the rising ocean waters. We think it’s magical.

NEWS FLASH…Charlie Claw’s has gone platinum with its famous song. Ok, well not really platinum, but we feel our theme song should go platinum because, well, it’s so kool. ![]()
When we decided to create this theme song, we wanted the listener to feel that coastal, relaxed, laid back island vibe. Let us know your thoughts. Jambo!!!!

NATURE IS GLORIOUS in all its forms. On Wasini Island, you’ll experience this for yourself on numerous occasions. A perfect example is this gigantic baobab tree that you’ll run into once a member of our superb Charlie Claw’s team takes you on a short after-lunch journey where you’ll see first hand some of our community initiatives.
Don’t forget to bring your camera though…and make sure your batteries are fully charged.
Please share with us any comments you have regarding this masterpiece of nature. Happy travels!
