We have a beautiful beachfront property on Watamu South Beach. Over the years we have been improving our facilities to reach “Resort” Status.
We try our best to preserve the Nature on site with a number of initiatives, such as: planting indigenous trees, protecting flora and fauna including turtle hatching sites, monkeys, birds, insects, reptiles; recycling waste; conserving water; employing local staff and artisans; using locally sourced materials; supporting local businesses.
Watamu has a wealth of activities: water sports (snorkeling, kiting, fishing); Culture (village walks, Gedi ruins); restaurants and bars; nature (coral gardens, Arabuko Sokoke Forest, Snake Farm); and more.
