MVUVI attracts people in search of a quiet, natural and stylish setting for their holiday. This is the kind of place that invites to perfect the art of lounging and relaxing. At Mvuvi you will find all the confort of the bigger resorts, but with much more reserved and relaxing atmosphere.
Hello, I'm Justin, Mvuvi's Owner and it's a pleasure to welcome you here. I'm available to help you with any possible request. My hobbies are Surfing, Windsurfing and Kiteboarding. I love what I'm doing and my aim is that who arrives at Mvuvi as a guests, leaves as a friend.
Watamu is a small fishing village that has developed a lot in terms of tourism. Thanks to the beauty of its beaches, it is considered the most beautiful location on the Kenyan coast. A 3-minute walk from Mvuvi is a 6 km long white beach, ideal for those who enjoy walking. From Mvuvi you can easily reach in a few minutes all the places of interest, the various beaches, the center and the restaurants in the area.
