Velkommen til Kaya Art Hotel
Vårt unike hotell er skapt med den hensikt å gi deg glede og la deg oppleve kraften i farger og kunst. Det er her swahili-arkitektur møter eklektisk maksimalisme – der shabby chic får en etterlengtet ansiktsløftning og nye klær.
Møblene er laget av gamle båter og drivved, eller noe annet vi fant liggende som kunne resirkuleres til et nytt formål. Annet inventar som madrasser, dusjer og toaletter er av høyeste kvalitet.
Krysser fingrene for at vi har funnet en blanding av komfort, kvalitet og akkurat passe mengde galskap!
