&Beyond Suyian Lodge

Suyian, land of the lycaons

Perched on the heights of Laikipia, the &Beyond Suyian Lodge Immerse yourself in an experience within a mineral structure crafted from rock and clay. Opening in the summer of 2025, this architectural sanctuary of just 14 suites redefines the Kenyan safari experience by offering the thrill of exploration. Nestled against a spectacular granite escarpment, the lodge overlooks the Ewaso Narok River, with the mythical Mount Kenya’s blue silhouette on the horizon. Here, the art of bush living reaches its peak: the design, organic and deeply rooted in its territory, fades away to make way for masterful and untouched nature. Days stretch to the age-old rhythm of the savannah, dictated by the sun's journey and the stealthy passage of wildlife. From misty mornings to evenings spent gathered around the campfire, every moment is an invitation to slow down and reconnect with the vibrant soul of Africa. This is a confidential address, a refuge for the initiated, designed for travellers seeking aesthetics and a profound encounter with the beauty of the wild.

ETHICS

Designed to have a virtually zero carbon footprint, the lodge is entirely off-grid and powered 100 % by solar energy. Above all, its existence is based on a unique partnership with the global NGO Space for Giants, thereby directly transforming each stay into an essential financial engine for the long-term protection of this ecosystem, the preservation of a vital migratory corridor for elephants, and the economic support of local communities.
