About this property

Temple Point Resort is located in Watamu Marine National Park at the junction of the Mida Creek and Indian Ocean. Overlooking a coral reef and its own private beach, it offers traditional Swahili-style rooms. All of the air-conditioned rooms at Temple include a modern bathroom. There are views of the Indian Ocean, Mida Creek or lush tropical gardens from a patio or balcony. A la carte or buffet-style African and international cuisine is provided at Temple Point’s Clubhouse Restaurant. Panoramic views of Mida Creek can be enjoyed at the bar, which serves cocktails. Relax by the elegant pool surrounded by sun loungers or enjoy a massage or hot tub session at the spa and wellness centre. Many sports activities or excursions can be arranged by the tour desk or animation team. Watamu is situated 5 minutes’ by car, and contains many shops, restaurants and bars.
