Hemingway’s Watamu Hotel

Maybe it’s the location – right in the middle of the pristine white sand beach of Watamu; maybe it’s the big game fishing – one of the top destinations in the world for this sport; or maybe it’s the fantastic personal service and sincere charm of this hotel that has come to represent Kenyan coastal luxury to so many families and couples over the years.

Hemingways is a 76 room resort Hotel overlooking the stunning beach of Watamu Marine Park, 20 miles south of Malindi and 60 miles north of Mombasa.

Nine miles of alabaster sand extend in front of the 76 bedrooms – every one with a view of the warm jade waters of Watamu.

The al fresco restaurant is the ultimate setting for savouring fresh seafood in the velvet evening air of Kenya’s northern coast.
