The beach extends for around  5 miles and forms part of the Watamu Marine Reserve, with the changing tides revealing small coral-sand atolls known as Sardegna Due.

Step into your room and settle into a cosy, welcoming retreat where authentic Kenyan character takes centre stage. Natural wood and stone meet soft blue accents and flowing sheer curtains, while a side view of the sea offers a gentle reminder of the tropical setting beyond. After a sun-filled day on the Kenyan coast, retreat here for a peaceful night of blissful relaxation. Now all that’s left to do? Unpack your bags and make yourself at home.

This is an all inclusive stay. Your breakfast, lunch, and evening meal will be served in the main restaurant, with a selection of snacks and drinks. Please see the ‘details’ tab for more information.

The hotel’s private 90-metre stretch of beach is equipped with sun loungers and shaded naturally by swaying palm trees, offering the perfect spot to relax beside the Indian Ocean.
