White Elephant Art Lodge

On Casuarina Beach in Malindi, inside the National Marine Park — a true beachfront lodge steps from the water and just a short drive to Silversands Beach, Malindi Beach and the Marine Park. Wake up to sea-breeze mornings and easy access to nearby spots like the Portuguese Chapel and Vasco da Gama Pillar.

A small, art-forward lodge with 19 air‑conditioned rooms and three apartments, each room showing off creations from the White Elephant creativity centre. Rooms have fans and minibar fridges; furniture and décor feature local artwork by Master Tanzini. Public and outdoor areas offer complimentary Wi‑Fi so you can stay connected while you soak up the shoreline vibe.

Outdoor pool and poolside restaurant on stilts, beachfront dining deck with the option to eat barefoot on the sand, a massage room and a diving club for water adventures. Concierge and a tour desk help book excursions, while laundry, car rental and on‑site parking make longer stays easy.

24‑hour front desk, luggage storage and a small library. Complimentary wireless internet is available in public and outdoor spaces; airport shuttle service is offered for a surcharge.

Two on‑site restaurants — one perched over the pool and one on a deck facing the sea — plus a beachfront bar/lounge. Buffet breakfasts are served daily (for a fee) and limited room service is available. Expect local flavors and coastal dishes in a laid‑back, barefoot setting.
