Vintage Central Malindi Apt.
I really enjoyed my stay at Victoria's place! The location is perfect—right in the city and just a short walk to Naivas shopping mall, which was super convenient. The place was clean, comfortable, and had everything I needed. I’d definitely stay here again. Highly recommended!

Lady D House Fortamu-Watamu
We had a fantastic family vacation at the Lady D House. The large apartment, located within an exclusive resort, was perfect for our needs. Our kids especially loved the three swimming pools—it's a super kids-friendly place. The beachfront location is another big plus, offering stunning views of the beautiful 7 Islands Bay. The staff were incredibly nice and friendly. Kanata is an excellent chef, and I highly recommend asking him to prepare local dishes; we thoroughly enjoyed the fish and seafood. Scarlett was also there every day for housekeeping, ensuring we had a comfortable stay. Thank you to the amazing staff for making our stay so wonderful. Watamu is full of activities, making it an ideal vacation spot with some of the most beautiful beaches on the Indian Ocean. We hope to be back soon at the Lady D House!

Beachside flat with Pool Access
Asia's place is perfect. Worth the price. Not far from Malindi international airport which is veryy convenient. Its also quite easy to find transport to wherever place you want to go. There are nearby restaurants with clean, good and fresh food for those lazy to cook, like me 🤣. The studio has a very nice view and a clean and well maintained swimming pool. It has beachfront access. Vasco da gama pillar, the portuguese chapel, very famous tourist sites, are literally walking distance from the place. Yohh, this place is a 5 star . Waayy worth the price and Asia is also perfect and very responsive and a kind person🤍. Will definitely recommend the place to others and whenever I want to visit Malindi/Watamu I will consider the place.

Malindi Ocean Breeze Apartment
The stay was nice and the hosts, Irene and Till were super friendly. The pool was great. Would definitely recommend and come back. Best Birthday vacation and they made part of it so special.

Frangipani Penthouse @ Ghepard Exclusive Residence
We had an exceptional time at Karina’s. This place is absolutely stunning and very comfortable, safe and secure. We would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for luxury at a good price. Housekeeping came every day and they were very thorough and the security was amazing. Such a magical piece of paradise and we really enjoyed ourselves. Thank you 😊

Beachfront Condo with Pool
First impression was a-bit disappointing as the apartment building is under construction or renovation, however on getting inside the house it was a totally different story. The unit is worth the money and potentially worth more so if you are thinking about it jump on the offer as prices might get high when the surroundings match up. Linda was a wonderful host and sorted any of the small issues we might have had during our stay. There was a caretaker always within the vicinity who responded swiftly in person. I would stay here again. I highly recommend!

Malindi Spacious Beach apartment~garden terrace
this place exceeded my expectations it might actually be my go to anytime I'm in Malindi. highly recommend.

Happysite -Luxx Suites - Malindi Beach - Rhino
I had an incredible stay at Luxx Suites! The resort is stunningly beautiful, with a breathtaking pool and beach that truly feel heavenly. The rooms are clean, spacious, and thoughtfully designed, with pristine bathrooms that add to the comfort of the stay. The staff is exceptionally helpful and polite, always going above and beyond to ensure a pleasant experience. Their warm hospitality made my visit even more memorable. If I'm visiting Malindi again, Luxx Suites will definitely be my go-to destination. Highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing and luxurious getaway!

Furaha Villa in Johari Villas
We had a wonderful stay! The host was incredibly responsive and kind. The space was spotless, well-equipped, and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. It was also very private and peaceful. Absolutely worth every penny. We’re definitely coming back!

BahatiHouse in Jua Resort
Our stay at Azzurra's place was fantastic! From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with warmth and hospitality. The apartment itself was charming, impeccably clean, and beautifully decorated. Every detail was thoughtfully curated, making us feel right at home, and the location is so close to the Watamu Mall where you can find an ATM, supermarket, nice coffee shop, and means of transportation to go around. The pool area was like a private oasis beautifully landscaped, impeccably maintained, and just the perfect temperature for a refreshing dip. Whether we were lounging poolside with a good book or taking a leisurely swim under the sun, every moment spent here felt like pure bliss Furthermore, Azzurra went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. If you're looking for a cozy, centrally located retreat with thoughtful touches and a gracious host, look no further this is the place for you! We can't wait to return. Thank you Azzura

Presitige Holiday Villa
A beautiful place. Had wonderful time with my family. The place was clean and spacious. Zawadi the caretaker was lovely. Would recommend this place. Perfect for family.

3 Bedroom Watamu Home with Private Beach Access
We had a fantastic stay at Mwanana House! Of all the places we've stayed in Kenya (there are many), the team at the house were the best. We were so well looked after - Antonina catered after our every whim without being asked and preempting our every need, Karisa cooked us the best meals every day, and Katana kept the pool and garden beautifully clean. This team thought of everything with incredible attention to detail and with great patience around small kids. Thank you so much

3bedroom Villa on Malindi beach
Very nice and comfortable.

Family friendly 4-bedroom holiday home with pool
Lovely house, great pool, attentive but unobtrusive staff including a great chef. You need some reliable Tuk Tuk drivers to get to the beach and other places but you wouldn’t get a place of this quality/price by the beach. Both our families had an incredible stay at Watamu.

BlueBayCove Penthouse 1
Enjoyed the stay. Beautiful views of the ocean. My family and I left very relaxed.

Watamu Villa
Rose is a fantastic host together with the staff on site, always keeping it clean, helping when needed! Very nice house and cozy pool, nice to also have neighbours (two similar houses next to each other). Only thing to note is that the location is slightly off but we rented motorbikes that were delivered to the house and Anthony the Tuktuk driver is great to drive you anywhere, so not a problem in the end! Also Kenyan power with the power cuts, but the generator always worked so it wasn’t a big issue.

Manasha Apartment Watamu
We stayed at Aisha's place with my family. The appartement was clean, cosy, comfortable, with air-conditioning in both rooms and a lovely shared swimming pool in the compound. Our hosts were friendly and attentive and gave us a lot of suggestions about what to do in the surrounding area. We will be definitely coming back, it was great value for money!

Malindi Beachfront Escape, 10 min from Airport
We had great time. Very convenient to reach the tourist attractions and restaurants. The host was super and responded promptly.

Spectacular Ocean View Penthouse in Malindi
Very gracious host. Huge lovely place, close to beach and restaurants.

Stunning beach front apartment
Federica’s place is beautiful - very spacious and the deck/views are wonderful. There is a gate and security that made us feel comfortable, and the pool and grounds are very well kept. It’s walkable to several restaurants and shops, with tuk tuks nearby as well. Would just caution anyone traveling during the low season (I think April to July) to look and see if restaurants are open; we struck out a few times at some places that are walkable from the Airbnb.

Beautiful apt. by the beach with swimming pool
We had a great stay at Lucy’s place. Check-in was smooth and on time, and the place was clean and well-equipped with everything we needed. The swimming pool was amazing, and we were able to use it every day. The air conditioner kept us comfortable, and having a washing machine and iron was really helpful, especially with the clothes we brought. A cleaner came in regularly, which kept everything tidy. Getting to the main amenities and nearby cities was easy, and tuk-tuks were readily available to pick us up whenever needed. Overall, everything went smoothly, and I would highly recommend staying at Lucy’s place!

Patch by the Ocean, a 2 bed beach front apartment
Susan’s place is a true gem. The beds were comfortable, always hot water and power, well equipped kitchen and a gorgeous pool and patio. Even niceties I dint expect like security cameras, house cleaning and a quality washing machine. You have all you need to live there autonomously. Next door is a great pizza place w vegan pizza and cocktails! Notes for families: the beach that is directly outside of Susan’s compound is not family friendly nor good for swimming (trash and khat chewers). But the cleaner swim able beach is just a 8 min Tuk Tuk ride away. Worth the distance to have such a gorgeous condo! The pool was shallow enough for my 5 yo to stand w her head above water but a short child or a younger child couldn’t stand. There is no “kiddie pool”

Panoramic penthouse overlooking the sea and wonderful pool
A fantastic apartment with a magic beach view ✨️ ⛱️😎 Highly recommend without any further explanation.. Looking forward for my next visit and stay at this place 👌

Fortamu Twiga House in Watamu, Beach Front
Our stay at Franca's went very well. We were well received, and the house helpers were very helpful. Paradise setting, the garden and its many swimming pools are perfect for a stay with friends and family! Beach Access. Proximity to restaurants and shops. I would recommend it!
