LUXURY BEACH TRIP IN KENYA

Are You Planning A Kenya Boutique Beach Trip? Scroll Down For Details..

The most discerning world travelers seek coastal destinations that offer exemplary oceanic adventures, tranquil picturesque beaches, phenomenal cuisine, exceptional service and classy accommodations. With so many oceanfront hideaways to choose from, perhaps you seek a location that is as unique as it is beautiful. Perhaps you desire more than a rest and relaxation retreat, but an awe-inspiring seaside experience that combines with a terrestrial, marine and avian viewing. AfricanMecca Safaris knows exactly where you will have this type of dream beach vacation — on the Kenyan coastline.



When most people think of Kenya and East Africa, the thoughts that come to mind are action-filled game drives through pristine bush country surrounded by an abundance of wildlife. Kenya, though, is also home to a coastal paradise where the turquoise and azure waters of the warm Indian Ocean softly roll upon immaculate white sand amidst verdant palm trees.

A luxury beach holiday includes boutique accommodations, idyllic settings, sumptuousness cuisine, first-rate service and diverse activities, all designed to pamper you in one of Africa’s finest beach destinations. We strive to exceed your expectations during your coastal escape, so we can also arrange for private butler service, luxuriously private beachfront houses and any other special request.



Below are some sample boutique seaside experiences in Kenya

Mombasa - Galu, Diani and Msambweni Luxury Beach Experiences

Mombasa Island offers a delightful blend of cultures, architecture and coastal metropolitan flavor that enchants and thrills our guests. The island is also home to distinct beaches on its North and South Coasts. Accessible primarily by ferry from the mainland, Mombasa South Coast is the most preferred and less visited by local and international visitors compared to the North Coast. Of the seashores on the South Coast, Diani and Galu are by far the most excellent in both beauty and high quality accommodations.



With only three guest villas, Alfajiri Villas is a grandeur accommodation where 25 staff stand ready to tend to your every need professionally and with the utmost discretion (Note: Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt have stayed at Alfajiri). The villas celebrate the cultures of Africa with native-inspired Lamu doors, artwork and furniture crafted by local artisans. The cuisine is skillfully prepared using local seafood and other ingredients.

Another upscale Diani Beachfront accommodation for your coastal travel in East Africa is Almanara Luxury Villas. The six Executive Villas include private staff, master and two additional bedrooms, rooftop terrace and separate study. If you seek utter indulgence, AfricanMecca recommends its affluent Casa Bella Presidential Villa featuring five bedrooms, grand hall, breathtaking ocean views and private massage room, game room, rooftop terrace with gym, bar and many other amenities.



The 16-room guest house on Galu Beach at Kinondo Kwetu is another subtle high-end accommodation. The house is a perfect option for solo travelers, couples, families, honeymooners and small groups who prefer an intimate and secluded accommodation away from the mainstream. In addition to rooms in the house, Kinondo Kwetu also offers a two-story Family Beach Cottage and Mama Taa Villa.

AfroChic Diani offers 10 distinct rooms, each individually appointed with elements that reflect the colors of the ocean, marine life and beaches of Mombasa. Further south in an isolated location, AfricanMecca recommends the magnificent Msambweni Beach House sited on 28 acres of land amidst 700 feet of sandy beach.



The seashores of Mombasa offer far more than upmarket accommodations! Your unparalleled tour of the Indian Ocean in Mombasa also includes world-class fishing for sailfish, marlin, yellowfin tuna, wahoo, as well as diving and snorkeling on incredible coral reefs at Kisite Marine Park, sailing, windsurfing, kitesurfing, waterskiing and much more! We also arrange land-based activities, such as day tours of Mombasa and sites of Fort Jesus and Jumba La Mtwana Ruins and also a week’s safari trip to Masai Mara, Tsavo, Amboseli, Laikipia or Samburu with inland game drives, walking safaris, cultural village tours and many other bush activities, all before you arrive to relax on your seaside escapade.



Funzi Island Luxury Beach Experiences

Even AfricanMecca guests who desire a remote island getaway for their idyllic seashore vacation find exactly what they desire on the Kenya coastline. Funzi Island has some of the most castaway, deserted beaches in the country, as well as a diversity of habitats to entice your inner explorer, such as mangroves, mixed forests and wetlands. The coral reefs around Kisite Marine Park are extraordinary for divers and snorkelers, and our guests are spell-bound by the presence of five species of sea turtles that visit the island during the nesting season. Anglers are completely enthralled by the challenge of large fish species.



Situated amidst the picturesque island setting are the 17 cottages of Funzi Keys, a posh rustic accommodation that immerses you in the relaxed coastal lifestyle. The cottages include two larger cottages for families, as well as Beach Front cottages for honeymooners and starry-eyed couples seeking a romantic trip in Africa, complete with jacuzzi and utmost privacy.

Spend your days lazing on the seaside or the tidal sandbank, visiting Funzi Farm, strolling through habitats, local village or just curling up with a good book. During your stay, dine upon gastronomical delights that highlight fresh seafood, varied meats, vegetables, all fused with organic ingredients.



Watamu Luxury Beach Experiences

Does your ideal beach holiday with AfricanMecca conjure images of long stretches of white sands touched by sparkling blue water, palm trees swaying in gentle oceanic shores and barefoot sandy strolls at sunrise? If so, Watamu is the place for you! With seven miles of beach, Watamu is a coastal lover’s paradise! With three bays filled with warmer water and the Indian Ocean stretching for miles, the seashore destination offers something for everyone — world-class snorkeling and scuba diving, walks through Mida Creek’s tidal wetland and mangrove forests, fishing in the deep sea, birdwatching, sea turtle viewing and even the opportunity to work with conservation organizations.



The splendor Medina Palms is your coastal “home away from home,” offering 50 rooms in an opulent resort-style setting. The Moroccan and Swahili fused cultures serve as inspiration for the décor and architecture, and the guest villas are sure to exceed even the most discerning tastes in luxury travel!



Malindi Luxury Beach Experiences

The 13th-century Swahili township of Malindi is a fascinating blend of old world charm, modern amenities and diverse cultures, all within proximity to fabulous marine activities, nature adventures and geological wonders. Much of Malindi’s story can be found in the architecture and historical landmarks, and the warmth and friendly nature of the people create a homely atmosphere. Nearby attractions include Gede Ruins, Marafa Depression, Malindi Marine Park and Arabuko Sokoke Forest Reserve, a favorite destination for birdwatching. Lion In The Sun epitomizes the quiet elegance of Malindi. This lavish AfricanMecca recommended accommodation only offers 16 rooms and suites, as well as personalized service, scrumptious food and incredible comfort.



Lamu Island Luxury Beach Experiences

Lamu Island is another of Kenya’s isolated hideaways. Designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Old Town of Lamu is a globally-significant cultural and historical treasure. Dating back to the 14th century, the settlement has remained protected from many modern influences. While the island does not lack the most necessary conveniences, you find yourself stepping back in time to when life was much simpler and peaceful. An outstanding example of the Lamu affluent lifestyle is found at Manda Bay and Majlis Resort.



Manda Bay features 16 banda cottages that reflect local craftsmanship and traditional building, all designed with elements to highlight the natural beauty of the coast and Indian Ocean. The intimate and warmly ambience of Manda Bay is especially desired by couples seeking a romantic escape for two with AfricanMecca. With only 25 rooms and suites, Majlis Resort is a first-rate frill accommodation for families, small groups, couples and solo travelers.
