On Kenya’s southeast coast in Watamu — a beachfront resort just 6 km from the town center and about 15 mi from Watamu Marine National Park. Beachfront and family-friendly, it’s perfect for snorkelers and sun-seekers, with Moi International Airport roughly 80 mi away.

Enjoy an outdoor pool, private beach, hot tub and solarium. On-site massage on request, a bar and buffet restaurant keep things relaxed, while table tennis, a BBQ area and kids’ playrooms add fun. Tour desk, transfers, free parking, elevator access, laundry, car rental and safe-deposit boxes are available.

Free Wi‑Fi and a 24-hour front desk make staying connected easy, plus private check-in/check-out and currency exchange for added convenience.

The on-site buffet restaurant serves a variety of dishes and there’s a relaxed bar for sundowners. For local flavor, popular nearby seafood spots include Crab Shack Dabaso Mida, Pilipan Restaurant and Willy Beach.
