The week in White Nyumba was simply extraordinary, every moment was enjoyed together. Felt more like part of the family than a guest. The accommodation is located a few kilometers outside the city. No problem. The house shows stylishly furnished rooms and the living zone invite you to relax and unwind. The place is peaceful and quiet, the huge warmth and hospitality is simply unbelievable. The people, starting with the very lovely owner. Trevor, the son and manager, who takes cabs to the beach or town, otherwise Tuk-tuk (3-wheeled motorcycle) Boda Boda (motorcycle) will get you into the city quickly and for little money. The cook, Saidi, who prepares very delicious lunch or dinner on request and shines with fantastically prepared and market-fresh products such as fish, seafood, chicken, vegetables, salad etc. Albert cleans the rooms, prepares and decorate the bed with fresh flowers and washes clothes on request for small amount. Karissa is responsible for the beautiful garden and pool, which invites you to chill under the palm trees at the pool. He cuttet and opened the fresh coconuts from own trees. They all do a great job, are always ready to help and sparkle with their joie de vivre. You feel at home right from the start. In any case, a reunion is guaranteed. Thank you so much.

Superb setting with stunning communal areas adorned with beautiful scented white flower trees. The rooms were super clean and the staff were truly exceptional and a huge asset to the property. They were most attentive and remained at our disposal throughout the days and nights of our stay. Shiela, Happy,Rosemary and Gakena will live long in our memories of our stay at this oasis. The warmest of smiles and happy to help demeanour will take some beating wherever you stay in the wold. Malindi is a hidden gem and in my opinion this hotel is by far the best in the area. Be sure to try the Hob restaurant which is close by.

The hosts at Petit Paradise were super accommodating and always quick to respond — usually within an hour. The place is about a 7-minute tuk-tuk ride to the city center, and it’s not expensive at all. I recommend finding one good driver and sticking with them — we used Ahmed Zahor, who was suggested by the hosts and was great. It’s also just a short 7-minute walk to the beach. Beautiful views and overall amazing value for the money!

The breakfast had great options- they had all kinds of selections even for vegetarians. This was awesome, given the affordability of the rooms (the rooms are quite spacious by the way). The location was close to most important amenities as well as the airport and they had a dedicated reception service at most times of the day in case you need assistance. LOVED the in house restaurant. The check in was smooth and Dezzlyne made our stay even more comfortable with her top recommendations of activities and nightlife.

This hotel is a true paradise, offering a tranquil atmosphere and the most incredible staff I've ever encountered. I was upgraded to an exceptionally clean and beautiful room, which felt out of this world. It's the best place to stay in Malindi, offering both safety and serenity. My experience was fantastic; I can't think of anything negative to say. I loved the peacefulness, especially compared to other tourist-heavy spots. The hotel is affordable, and the food is delicious, with an amazing breakfast.

good location for the 2 nights we spent there in Malindi. about a 5-10 minute walk to the Alaskan market. No backup generator when the power cut out which is normal but the heat was unbearable without the AC, which worked perfectly when power was available.
