Kenya Beach Holidays and Kenya Beach Accommodation

If you are looking to relax, there are many Kenya beach holidays to choose from. You can stay on the south coast of Mombasa, where the turquoise waters are calm and inviting and the offshore reefs are alive with coral, sea turtles and dolphins. Kenya beach holidays on the north coast of Mombasa are popular for the international yachting circuit and the beaches are broken by the wide mouth of Kilifi Creek.

For those looking for pure peace and quiet, a Kenya beach holiday to tropical island, Lamu, can offer a beautiful haven of rolling dunes and coconut and mango plantations. Lamu also has a fascinating medieval stone town. Manda Island in Kenya is an island in the Lamu archipelago and is known for its 9th century ports of Takwa and Manda. You can choose to stay on a Kenya beach resort here, which acts as a wonderful base from which to explore the local scenery and absorb the colourful Lamu culture and people. There are no cars on Manda island in Kenya, just donkeys and boats, and the pace of life is slow and relaxed.

If you are looking for the ultimate beach holiday in Kenya, there are many types of Kenay beach accommodation. You can choose from beach clubs, set in picturesque surroundings of landscaped tropical gardens, to boutique hotels built in the Swahili style, to private bandas on the beach, with panoramic ocean views which accommodate up to 7 people. You may prefer to book with a Kenya beach resort which offers all inclusive facilities, with en-suite, air-conditioned rooms and swimming pools and offers diving, windsurfing and catamaran services. Whether you want a beach resort in Kenya, or a more rustic lodge, there is something to suit everyone and the Kenyan coastline will not fail to deliver as an ideal getaway destination.
