Amazing location and stunning views of the creek. The private beach is a big plus. Free boat shuttle across the creek is a bonus. The staff were super friendly and accommodating. We ordered octopus and fish from the local fishermen and the chef made a delicious meal just for us. Great activities offered by the hotel. Highly recommend the tubing!

The view from the room is stunning and the hotel facilities are amazing. After having dinner at their restaurant, we didn’t want to go to any other place. Every dish we tried was to die for. The staff is very caring and helpful. It’s a place to go back over and over. I spent my birthday there after some very stressful days at work, Visiwa was the perfect place to rest, unwind and relax. Staff made my birthday special!

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!

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.

Great staff and amazing location - pool and cottages on the beach next to great kitesurfing school and close to great Lichthaus sunset bar. Many thanks to all the Team there and the great job they do - Asante Sanu - very many thanks 😊👍

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

A most relaxing, calm location right on the beach, beautiful swimming and lots of local colour if you venture out of the resort. Totally chilled holiday.

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
