Dining at Hemingways Watamu is a highlight of the experience, offering fresh, expertly prepared cuisine in a stunning coastal setting. The hotel’s main restaurant overlooks the Indian Ocean and serves a refined menu that showcases the best of local and international flavours. Specialising in freshly caught seafood—like prawns, crab, lobster, and line-caught fish—the kitchen also features prime meats, seasonal vegetables, and tropical fruits sourced from local farms.

From relaxed poolside lunches to elegant dinners under the stars, every meal is crafted with care and creativity. Signature dishes are paired with a curated wine list and exceptional service, while the setting—whether indoors with sea views or alfresco with the sound of the waves—elevates every bite. What makes dining here truly special is the emphasis on freshness, simplicity, and the authentic taste of Kenya’s coast, all served in an atmosphere of relaxed sophistication.

The hotel features two stunning swimming pools—one overlooking the ocean and the other set within tropical gardens—ideal for a refreshing dip or lounging in the sun with a cocktail in hand.

Thanks to its prime location within the Watamu Marine National Park, guests have direct access to world-class water-based activities. Snorkeling and scuba diving reveal vibrant coral reefs teeming with marine life, while deep-sea fishing, stand-up paddleboarding, kite surfing, and dhow sailing offer unforgettable experiences on the Indian Ocean.

On land, guests can enjoy wellness treatments at the Hemingways Spa, explore nearby nature reserves, or take guided cultural tours. Whether you're swimming with sea turtles, casting a line in deep waters, or simply relaxing by the pool, Hemingways Watamu delivers an exceptional blend of laid-back luxury and coastal adventure.

Each room features bright, airy interiors with a modern coastal aesthetic—think crisp white linens, soft neutral tones, handcrafted wooden furniture, and touches of Swahili-inspired décor that reflect the local heritage.

Exceptional Solo Stay

I had a wonderful solo stay at Hemingways Watamu. The hotel is impeccably clean, and the staff are truly outstanding respectful, professional, and genuinely warm. Claris, the housekeeper, was...

Watamu – meaning “home of the sweet people” in Swahili – is a small village on the Kenyan coast approximately 120kms north of Mombasa – Kenya’s second largest city. It is also 20kms south of Malindi – Vasco de Gama’s first landing point on the coast of East Africa. Watamu’s shoreline features pristine white sand beaches and offshore coral formations arranged in different bays and sheltered by a reef. The area is protected as part of the Watamu Marine National Park and is considered one of the best snorkeling and diving areas on the coast of Africa. The Marine Park is renowned worldwide for its natural beauty and boasts a diverse marine life from the visiting whale sharks and manta rays to three species of sea turtle.

The Swahili culture of the coast is an exotic mix of Omani, Portuguese and Bantu influences. Built on trade, the coastal town of Watamu was once an outpost for ivory, slaves, spices and shells. Local people are predominantly fishermen and farmers and the coast is rich in exotic fruit and sisal plantations. There is a languid pace to life here, quite different to the hectic rush of Nairobi. Middle Eastern influences are more apparent at the coast in the architecture and religion and both Malindi and Watamu have elements of an Italian feel with great pizzerias and delicious gelato available.
