Hemingways Watamu Hemingways Watamu is an iconic beachfront retreat where barefoot luxury, five-star service, and timeless charm meet the turquoise waters of the Indian Ocean
(565)

This Indian Ocean luxury 5 star boutique beach hotel in Kenya is everyone’s favorite and our guests just keep coming back for more. An iconic tropical paradise on the Kenyan coast sitting right in the middle of the pristine Watamu Marine National Park with its idyllic white sand beach and turquoise waters. The exceptional personal service and sincere charm of this established hotel has come to represent Kenyan coastal luxury to so many travellers for close to 30 years. And it’s just got even better with a mega makeover. There is so much to do here – learn to kite-surf; get your PADI certificate, take a sunset dhow cruise on Mida Creek, play a round of golf on the nearby world class golf course, Vipingo Ridge; or go on safari for a few days in Tsavo or the Maasai Mara. If that all sounds a little too energetic, relax around the pool with a good book as you work your way through our cocktail menu.

A glimpse into our little slice of paradise on Watamu Beach, where the bedroom feels as though it's suspended above the ocean and every view draws you a little closer to the sea.

Pull back the curtains to white sand, turquoise water and the Swahili coastline stretching beyond your balcony.

With the ocean just moments away, every day begins with a view that's never quite the same.

The dhow leaves the shore with the tide, carrying cocktails, coastal bites and the salt air of the Indian Ocean.

As Watamu slips into evening, the best seat is somewhere out on the water.
