Serena Beach Hotel | Beach Lodge

Introduction

Set back from the powder-white sands and shimmering waters of the Mombasa National Marine Park, the Serena Beach Hotel décor blends the time-honoured intricacy of Swahili carving with the jewelled glow of Arabian lanterns, the white-gleaming splendour of a Sultan's palace and the lotus-cool of a Persian water garden.

The extensive coconut-palm cooled grounds of this Mombasa Beach Hotel offer an exotic mix of tropical trees and bright blossoms and centre on an idyllic sky-blue swimming pool with a thatched 'swim-up' bar and crystal waters that cascade into the tiled coolness of the market square below.
