Set on silky white sands, this bold beach hotel brings fabulous Kenyan influences to its food, style, architecture.
This beach resort is a refreshing departure from the ordinary. Its design draws on inspirations from African, Indian, and Arabian architecture and design with Swahili accents, making it feel appealingly individual. The seven-layer cascading pool is an impressive centrepiece, fed by spring water and natural salts. It’s not your only way to relax here — a full-service spa, scuba diving, and watersports are all vying for your time.
Why we love Swahili Beach
-
The oasis-like swimming pools are set across seven levels and feature boulders and waterfalls, giving it a tropical feel. There’s even a swim-up bar
-
The rooms are elegant, thanks to a well-curated selection of furniture and accents that blend traditional Swahili touches with contemporary finishes
-
A solid lineup of restaurants keeps your tastebuds on their toes. Thanks to the Kenyan–meets–Indian flavours, expect plenty of spice and an abundance boat-fresh seafood, too, caught every day from the boda bodas
-
Swahili Beach is on a coveted stretch of coastline, known for its fine sand, watersports, coral reef, and excellent surfing conditions
Rooms
There are three room types. Size is the main differentiator if you’re trying to decide whether to upgrade, but every room has a private balcony overlooking verdant gardens or the Indian Ocean. There’s a richness to the décor, drawing on Swahili accents and a sumptuous colour palette of russet and ochre, softened by floaty voiles. The loungers on the terrace invite lazy afternoons with that book you haven’t found the time to get stuck into – until now.
Designed with functionality in mind, your every need will be meet with this room.
