Eco Villas Watamu

On Kenya’s Indian Ocean coast in Watamu — minutes from Watamu Beach, Mida Creek and the Ruins of Gedi. Malindi Airport (MYD) is about 11 miles away. This neighbours-free, pet-friendly cottage is minutes from the town centre and ideal for family-friendly beach escapes.

A small, laid-back lodge with just four guestrooms featuring flat-screen TVs and private balconies. Rooms have showers and bidets, and the vibe leans cottage-chill — think easy seaside comforts, picnic spots and an arcade for downtime.

Soak in the outdoor pool, book local tours from the desk, or let the kids loose in the playrooms and arcade. Babysitting is available (surcharge). Expect picnic areas, a bar/lounge and complimentary Wi‑Fi — plus room service during limited hours. Wake up to sea-breeze mornings on your balcony.

Complimentary wireless internet keeps you connected. The property also offers a 24-hour front desk, laundry facilities, a safe-deposit box and free self parking.

Echo restaurant serves local and international dishes with a focus on regional flavours. Enjoy a bar/lounge for evening drinks and daily local-cuisine breakfasts from 7:30–10:00 for a fee; limited room service is available.
