Indian Ocean Beach Holiday And Beach Resorts In Kenya

The Indian Ocean coastline of Kenya stretches almost 5oo kilometres from the border with Tanzania in the south to Somalia in the north. It is a coastline rich in aesthetic beauty as well as giving a home to the culturally rich Swahili-speaking people.

The Indian Ocean coast is a place of natural beauty and contrast, from the long white sand beaches flanked by coral reefs to mangrove forests and lagoons.

The coastline provides an important habitat for a large number and variety of animals, including dolphins, turtles, whales and many fish species. The coral reefs are home to a huge diversity of colourful fish and other marine life.

The Indian Ocean coastline is also a place of great cultural significance. The Swahili people, who inhabit the coast, have a rich and vibrant culture which is a mix of African, Arab and Indian influences.

The typical traveller to East Africa will combine their safari with a week or two of relaxation on a beach holiday (pre or post one's Kenya safari).

The all-inclusive, more traditional boutique hotels and beach resorts are centred around Mombasa and Diani Beach in the south of the country. The smaller and more historically interesting coastal towns of Lamu and Malindi are in the north, with a greater choice of boutique hotel accommodation.

All list establishments below offer a wide choice of watersports and activities: from diving amongst the coral reefs and swimming with dolphins to sailing on traditional dhows and wind and kite surfing, deep sea fishing or simply relaxing on a sun lounger with your feet on those pristine white sand beaches.

We will advise you on the best Kenya beach resort and spa options to tie in with your bespoke African safari holiday itinerary.
