From the outset, this newly built resort offers a visual feast, inviting guests to absorb the panoramic views of the Indian Ocean that envelop the property.

Accessible from the resort, Malindi, just 20 km away, invites exploration of local shops brimming with handicrafts and Indian souvenirs. The main airport in Mombasa is just a scenic drive away, ensuring a seamless connection to your coastal getaway.
