Visiwa Beach Resort – Beach Resort in Watamu

Visiwa Beach Resort is a boutique hotel right on the sand in Watamu, directly facing the famous Love Island. With just 26 rooms, it aims for a charming, personal stay rather than a big-resort feel, and works well for couples and families.

Room types include doubles with terraces, garden-view and ocean-view rooms, family suites and an apartment. The resort's Amici Miei restaurant, led by an Italian chef, blends Italian tradition with local ingredients, serving wood-fired pizza, fresh seafood, sushi and international dishes by the pool. It is open to outside guests as well as residents.

Days are spent between the swimming pool, the beach bar and a private stretch of beach with sunbeds, with live music by the pool. The team can arrange snorkelling in Watamu Marine Park, village tours and local markets, garden massages and sunrise walks.
