Bamburi Beach · Mombasa
Memorable beach holidays.
Kenya Bay sits on the edge of the Indian Ocean, on one of the longest stretches of frontage on world-famous Bamburi Beach. Palms, coral reef, warm water and a hotel that has never felt the need to be in a hurry.
In the heart of Bamburi Beach
A haven of warmth, tranquility and rejuvenation
Nestled on the edge of a tranquil and beautiful ocean, bathed in brilliant sunshine and clear skies, Kenya Bay looks out over palm-lined sand and the coral reef beyond.
Inside the gates: mature gardens, two pools with a swim-up bar, a spa, and a beachfront that runs the length of the property. Outside them: Haller Park, the Bamburi Nature Trail, and the whole North Coast within easy reach. It is a hotel built for slow days and full ones in equal measure.

Accommodation
Rooms that open onto the ocean
From standard sea-facing rooms with balconies to deluxe rooms and family suites — elegantly designed, comfortably equipped, and steps from the sand.
Standard Double Room
The straightforward beachfront stay: cosy furnishings, a soothing palette and a balcony that faces the Indian Ocean. Long-stay discounts apply.
Superior Double Room
More space for the family, in the low-rise garden wing with its distinctive pitched roofs — a short walk from the pool and the sand.
Unforgettable experience
Days that fill themselves
Sail, snorkel the reef, take a glass-bottom boat out at low tide, or stay exactly where you are with a book and a fresh juice. Aerobics in the morning, a spa treatment in the afternoon, live entertainment after dinner — as much or as little as you like.
Haller Park and the Bamburi Nature Trail are on the doorstep, and the Maasai Mara is a short flight away if you want to pair the beach with a safari.
