"Reset. Restore. Return. At Summersyders, we believe a "holiday" is no longer enough. You deserve more than a temporary escape; you deserve a sanctuary that restores your original self. We value your mental health and the sanctity of your life’s rhythm, which is why we don’t just book rooms—we curate verified spots designed for profound, intentional resets.
This is not a vacation; it is a homecoming. Through the expertise of Skillset Hospitality and Saddlebird Adventures, we invite you into a world where the noise of the city fades, replaced by the stillness of the slopes and the sea. This is a movement of intentional living for those ready to reclaim their balance.Buckle up. Your journey back to your most authentic self begins at our next verified sanctuary.

The vibe is heading to higher altitudes. This is the Buckle Up Retreat, a curated escape designed specifically for the Summersyders community, nestled on the breathtaking slopes of Mount Kenya. We are taking over the sanctuaries of Naro Moru, where the air is crisp, the forest is ancient, and the energy is unmatched. This isn't your average mountain trip; it’s an invitation to drop the city noise and plug into the stillness of the peaks with a tribe that values the journey as much as the destination.
Strap in for a weekend of immersion in the heart of the Naro Moru forest. Whether we’re gathered around a roaring fireplace in our timber cabins or sharing stories by the riverbank, the goal remains the same: to build one community of explorers who live for the transition from the mundane to the extraordinary. From morning hikes through the bamboo zone to evening cocktails under a canopy of stars that feel close enough to touch, every moment is an opportunity to meet new people, share a laugh, and join the frequency of the mountain.
As a member of the circle, you’ll enjoy the full Summersyders experience—seamless access to our verified spots, exclusive itineraries designed for the adventurous spirit, and the unmistakable feeling of belonging to a network of like-minded leisure-seekers. No introductions are needed; once you arrive on the slopes, you’re already part of the story. Come for the scenery, stay for the community, and leave with the kind of stories that only happen when the right people meet in the right place. The mountain is calling. If you know, you’re already in.

Return to Stillness. Return to You.
Tucked away in the quiet heart of Kilifi, just a short walk from the Bofa shoreline, is a home built for the seekers. This is a "world within a world"—a private coastal retreat designed to strip away the noise of the city and replace it with the stillness of the slopes and the sea.
Influenced by the triangular sails that have crossed these waters for centuries, our A-frame cabin is a blend of Kilifi heritage and contemporary peace. We didn't build this to impress; we built it to hold space for reflection, creative flow, and soulful rest. If you are looking for a sanctuary where nature sets the pace and every hour brings a new atmosphere of calm, your table is reserved. Welcome to the retreat you didn't know you were missing.
