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 had an amazing time at Beba Beach thanks to the host Roberta who was very welcoming and attentive. The beachfront location is amazing as well as the beach itself. The room is great for a couple, simple, yet stylishly furnished, modern and clean. The terrace is what makes the place so distinct. I would definitely recommend to stay.

Pole Pole Beach House is literally a minute from the beach with easy access. The staff were delightful and very very helpful (even got me a motor bike to town whose rider was equally pleasant). I'd like to single out Safari, who was a most generous aimiable and helpful host. When I dropped my phone in his car on my way to the airport, he very kindly came back to bring it to me. I had a nice room with a balcony from where you could see the ocean. I had a really really lovely stay.

We stayed in the beach cottage, which is in a wonderful spot right on the beach, with an amazing view of the sea. The house is charming, and Chef Mo made us a fabulous curry with chapatis! We hope to get a chance to go back one day.

breakfasts were great, freshly made each morning. The location and staff were superb and very helpful, the rooms were cleaned and tidied every day and the AC was the best (I moved to an expensive villa after a few days with AC and it was much worse, I missed the cottages AC!). The shower was always warm if needed (I usually had it cold),mosquito nets for the bed and window which was perfect. The location is the best aspect, it's right on the beach

I love the location - perfect spot for beach holiday and not too fair-away from Watamu - yes the road is not perfect but for me it was part of my Kenya experience :-) They are a few very good restaurant on the beach and Safari was always very helpful , he even took as to a local church which was amazing experience ! I would recommend this place to anyone who wants to relax and learn a bit about the locals , the location is very safe . Pole Pole

This is a very nice and affordable resort to stay in Watamu, for a relaxing beach holiday. We particularly enjoyed the room size and the two pool areas. The staff are also amazing and the breakfast is really good. Very nice location right on the beach just where the best place to swim is, and it's easy to find transport to nearby restaurants etc.
