About Hemingways Watamu

Hemingways Watamu sits majestically on the shores of the Watamu Marine National Park, overlooking the turquoise waters of the Indian Ocean. This refined coastal lodge blends colonial-style architecture with contemporary amenities, featuring bright, airy suites that open onto private balconies facing the beach. The focus here is on the marine environment, offering world-class deep-sea fishing, snorkelling, and diving among protected coral reefs. The landscape is a picturesque mix of white sand beaches and tropical gardens. It is an ideal retreat for those looking to combine a safari adventure with a serene coastal escape. The service is polished, and the atmosphere is consistently elegant, providing a sophisticated haven after days spent exploring the reef or the nearby Arabuko Sokoke Forest.
