The Rock & Sea – Bubble Ecolodge in Watamu

The Rock & Sea is an eco-luxury lodge on Mida Creek in Watamu, perched on a coral cliff where the creek, the mangrove forest and the Indian Ocean meet. Its signature is the bubble: transparent dome lodges that let guests sleep under the African sky.

Accommodation includes the Baobab, Bush and Lagoon Bubble Lodges, an Imperial Banda, an Ocean View Cottage and a Baobab King Suite. Days are meant to follow the tides, with walks on white-sand beaches, trips into the mangroves or simply time in a private bubble.

Back at the lodge there is a panoramic restaurant, a pool and jacuzzi set into the gardens with makuti-shaded loungers, and a sunset lounge with cushioned daybeds on the edge of the rock. A wellness space over the mangroves offers massages, beauty rituals and yoga. Weddings can also be hosted.
