A Nature Lover’s Paradise…

If you enjoy relaxing and unwinding in stunning surroundings with spectacular scenery, you’ll love holidays in Watamu. A nature lover’s paradise, Watamu is home to some stunning tropical mangroves and an array of colourful birdlife. Complete with its own Marine National Park, containing a mini-world of fascinating sea life encompassing an extensive coral reef. Situated on the east coast of Kenya, the resort offers a truly laid-back ambiance mixed perfectly with an authentic African experience.

If you’re travelling to Watamu with relaxing and lounging beneath the sun in mind, you’ve come to the perfect place! Fringed by swaying palms and lapped by the gentle waters of the Indian Ocean, the soft white sand’s stretch as far as the eye can see and sparkle under the soaring African sun rays. For those who prefer to keep themselves active, there’s plenty on offer. Watamu’s clear, calm waters make conditions for watersports perfect, so try your hand at windsurfing and sailing. Diving is amongst the most popular activities here, with a wide variety of brightly coloured fish dotting across a backdrop of coral like a striking mosaic. If you’re not keen on water or donning a pair of attractive flippers, don’t worry, head along to the Marine National Park where you can wander out to the reef’s coral gardens when the tide’s out.

Appreciate A Warm Ambience With An Energetic Atmosphere…

Of course, there’s more to this place than just sun, sea and sand. Nature lovers will relish the cool forest walks, which are within easy reach of Watamu, where you can spot buffalo and elephants, coastal mangroves, underwater caves and brightly coloured birds parading through the sky. To learn of the local history journey to the nearby Gede Ruins, a 12th century Swahili village which was inexplicably abandoned over 600 years ago. Now classed as a national museum, this well preserved settlement sits adjacent to a butterfly breeding park.
