We care about the local community, supporting them in various projects as well as doing out part to preserve this amazing corner of the World.
Why they chose this property
Watamu (the "place of the nice people" in Kiswahili) is a well functioning community on the warm Indian Ocean.
Our property is quiet and peaceful and away from busy parts of the beach.
We have an incredible sand bank that makes for great kitesurfing the whole day.
