With Paje Beach reachable in a few steps, Ananda Beach Hotel provides accommodation, a restaurant, an outdoor swimming pool, a garden and a private beach area. Complimentary WiFi is provided throughout the property.

A terrace can be found at the lodge, along with a shared lounge. From the very first step into Anada Hotel, we were embraced by a profound sense of warmth and care that made us feel instantly at home. The reception staff welcomed us with genuine kindness, the security team and porters assisted us with thoughtfulness, and the housekeeping staff ensured every detail of our stay was flawless. Every interaction was infused with heartfelt hospitality that resonated deeply with us. A highlight of our experience was meeting a beautiful Masai family on the beach, accompanied by joyful children who filled the moments with laughter and connection. Our daughter formed a heartwarming bond with their son, creating memories of pure joy and wonder. Their presence added a soulful depth to our time in paradise, making our stay truly unforgettable. Leaving Anada was difficult — it became a sanctuary of peace, warmth, and togetherness. To the remarkable team and the inspiring Masai family, thank you for touching our hearts in ways we will carry with us always. Until we meet again.
