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-u'p bar and crystal waters that cascade into the tiled coolness of the market square below.

Rooms and Suites

The Village Rooms; Each of the rooms at the luxurious Serena Beach Hotel is contained within the winding lanes. The shady courts of the traditional Swahili Village are uniquely styled to resemble a historical building from the ancient island town of Lamu.

Design features include carved balconies, coral pillars, fretwork screens, Zanzibari-carved doors, gleaming arches, stone-carved niches and lavish Lamu-styled furniture.

The Garden Rooms; A selection of spacious garden rooms looks out over a lush green garden towards the sparkling reaches of the Indian Ocean. Design features include carved balconies, winding stairways, broad verandas, sumptuous brass-inlaid furniture and a colour scheme that fuses aquamarine seas, azure skies and emerald palms.
