    Great accommodation, extremely close to the beach, with a good selection of beach bars/places to eat. Safari was an excellent host - always ready to help, both in terms of arranging trips, or transport, and always ready for a chat!

Located on the picturesque Jacaranda Beach, this Swahili-inspired hotel is the perfect setting for travelers seeking a blend of relaxation and adventure. Guests are greeted with the warmth and hospitality Kenya is known for, ensuring a stay that feels both comfortable and homely. Activities abound, from leisurely walks along the pristine white sands to the thrill of kite-surfing across the turquoise waters. For those eager to delve into the rich tapestry of the area, the ancient cities nearby beckon with their historical allure, while the option of going on a safari presents an irresistible call to the wild. At Pole Pole Beach House, every day is an opportunity to explore, relax, and immerse in the breathtaking beauty of Kenya's coast.
Pole Pole Swahili Hotel is located on the beautiful beach of Jacaranda Beach between the Malindi and Watamu. The hotel is only a one and half hour drive from the world famous Tsavo East National Park. The family who own and operate the hotel fell in love with the location, the people and the culture of this area of Kenya almost eight years ago. We strive to create a unique hotel experience to help share the beauty of this area with travelers from around the world.
The white sandy beaches serve as an idyllic backdrop for a perfect holiday getaway, offering a plethora of activities tailored for every type of traveler. Sun worshippers can bask under the radiant sun, while those seeking tranquility can take long, leisurely walks along the shoreline, letting the soft sands shift beneath their feet. For the adventure enthusiasts, kite surfing presents an exhilarating challenge against the backdrop of the expansive ocean. Beyond the beach, the area teems with cultural and natural attractions. Shopping in local markets provides a taste of Kenyan craftsmanship and culture. History buffs will find the ancient Gede ruins a mysterious portal to the past, while Hell's Kitchen offers a natural marvel with its sculpted sandstone canyon. Mida Creek invites nature lovers to explore its mangrove-lined waters, and the Savana wildlife Safari is an unmissable experience, offering close encounters with Africa's majestic wildlife in their natural habitat. Each of these destinations adds a unique flavor to the holiday experience, making it an unforgettable mosaic of relaxation, adventure, and cultural immersion.
