Perfect place to stay if you are not looking for a noisy resort holiday stay. This is a place to relax. Staff was always ready with a smile to help you with all your needs. Structure is new, rooms are big and very clean. It is close to the beach and swimming pool was great after a day outside. We used the personal chef and I can assure you top service. I would surely recommend it.

Review: I recently stayed in Watamu at the beautiful villa called Airamjudi, and it was an exceptional experience. The villa offers all the comforts needed for a relaxing stay: the room was well-furnished, spacious, and equipped with everything I could ask for. The location is perfect for those looking for tranquility but still want the convenience of getting around easily. The area is peaceful and safe, and it’s very easy to move around thanks to the availability of tuk-tuks and motorbikes. Plus, the villa is located right in front of Fortamu Beach, which is easily reachable on foot—a huge bonus! One of the highlights of my stay was the fantastic pool, ideal for unwinding after a day of exploring. I really appreciated the attention to detail and the welcoming atmosphere of the villa. I had an amazing time and will definitely return. I highly recommend Airamjudi to anyone looking for a perfect combination of relaxation, comfort, and natural beauty!

Serenity, coziness , simple details, plants, carefully decorated rooms and essential lights everywhere ☀️ Neutral interior colors and pleasant zones for your comfort and privacy will let you get relaxed gently 🪷 every room has a big terrace and well equipped bathrooms 💦 And the highest floor ambience took my heart forever ☺️ breathtaking sunrise~sunset~ocean views and fresh air adventure spirit of the house encourages 🪽 The kitchen has everything you need for cooking as well as coffee machine and blender , also potable water is provided. It’s a pleasure to cook there and have a dinner on the terrace 🥹 Easy to get from the Malindi airport ~ 20 mins by car . We rented a car in advance / it’s cheaper than taxi and pretty convenient to explore the village , and you have private parking near property /🦏 The most beautiful Watamu beach is just in 2 mins walking distance by short path surrounded by green garden 🌿 Ash is a great host, always online to help! His house is so consciously organized !!! Perfect quality of everything you use are surprising, unexpected details prove that the owner definitely ,,thinks outside the box,,😎 I highly recommend to stay here and enjoy every moment ☺️🌿

We booked a week at the Rafiki Jua in Watamu, precisely the Rafiki Jua is located inside the Rafiki Tamu, a brand new residence consisting of several apartments (The structure looks like in the photos). Rafiki Tamu is a modern and new structure located exactly halfway between Watamu center and the beautiful beach of Sardinia 2. Our apartment was on the ground floor, overlooking the pool, consisting of dining room with kitchen, two bedrooms and two bathrooms. All nicely decorated with a fantastic African style. Inside the structure the entire staff is super helpful, consisting of receptionists, security, cleaning and laundry service (included in the price), masseuses at a very competitive price, chef (available to prepare breakfasts, lunches and dinners). For those who do not want to experience a village I highly recommend Rafiki.

It is nearly impossible to describe our lovely time at Chris House. The house is very beautiful and always clean, and the staff were exceptional and very helpful. It felt like home ( a gorgeous one). The house is close to the main road, the beach is close by - literally like 5 minutes walk. Chef Ndume made us very tasty meals. The host was always available on call and via chat and our requests were always honoured. We truly appreciate Giovanna for her kindness and the warm welcome to Chris House. I would recommend Chris House to anyone visiting Watamu. It was truly worth it. <3

Great place to stay and relax and enjoy. The rooms were comfortable with great beds and nicely appointed bathrooms. Spent most of our time hanging out by the pool or under the expansive balcony just reading and relaxing.Although there were other Villas we were the only ones there for much of the time so felt we had the place to ourselves. The chef was AMAZING. He prepared breakfast and dinner for us and we loved every meal. He clearly enjoyed what he was doing and we loved eating what he cooked! Easy to get into Watamu village and great walks along the beach and surrounding tracks.

    Incredible, we loved every moment. Samuel, Ken and Sharon were all so welcoming and went above and beyond, we felt right at home. We worked remotely here for a week and it was the only place in watamu we were able to work, due to the great wifi and if there was a power cut Samuel had the generator on straight away. These villas are just breathtaking! If you go to watamu stay here! We loved every moment and will definitely be back.
