Food & Drink

Forodhani Restaurant serves breakfast, lunch and dinner in an oceanfront setting. Breakfast includes pastries, tropical fruit, cooked dishes and Kenyan coffee, while the changing dinner menu features seafood, coastal Kenyan flavours, international dishes and vegetarian choices.

Lunch is more informal, with options such as handmade pasta, wraps, paninis, salads and wood-fired pizzas. Lighter dishes and sharing plates are also available through Gede Café.

Hemingways Bar is positioned beside the sea and serves wines, spirits and tropical cocktails. Its waterfront setting makes it a natural place for a traditional Kenyan sundowner, while a separate children’s menu is available for younger guests.

Activities

The hotel provides direct access to the protected waters of Watamu Marine National Park, where guests can arrange snorkelling, scuba diving, kayaking and stand-up paddleboarding. Kite-surfing lessons are available nearby, with options for both beginners and more experienced participants.

Deep-sea fishing is one of the area’s established activities, with half-day and full-day charters available. Humpback whales may also be seen offshore during their seasonal migration between June and September.

Beyond the water, guests can visit Mida Creek, the Gede Ruins and Arabuko-Sokoke Forest or play golf at Vipingo Ridge. Safari extensions to destinations such as Tsavo and the Maasai Mara can also be incorporated into a wider itinerary.

SPA & Wellness

The wellness spa offers massages, facials and holistic treatments using locally sourced products. Treatment rooms provide a dedicated space away from the main activity areas, while beachfront treatments and couples’ experiences may also be arranged.

Guests can complement spa appointments with yoga sessions, time in the gym or quieter periods beside the oceanfront pools. The programme focuses on restorative treatments and relaxation rather than presenting wellness as a fixed daily schedule.
