The people are quite friendly including cab divers. The beaches are wonderful. Not too much interference from the beach boys. The area is relatively quiet in the evenings. Good for a person who has relaxation in mind. My favourite beach was Gecko resort. It is easy to get around Watamu with Tuk Tuk or cabs.

A bit expensive as it's made for tourists, so expect European prices (5EUR one beer or 8EUR a cocktail).
The beach is amazing, it's totally worth it :) However, try to be in a beach chair, as those are in private restaurants or hotels; that's the only way the beach boys are not going to annoy you all the time (and even there, they might try to talk to you or stare at you, but it's less likely).
There's a club (Come back club) that we loved, as the atmosphere and music were great :)

Watamu, Kenya, is a stunning coastal destination that offers a perfect blend of natural beauty and vibrant local culture. From the moment you arrive, you’re welcomed by incredibly friendly people who make you feel right at home. The sandy beaches are breathtaking, providing endless opportunities for relaxation, sunbathing, and leisurely beach walks. The warm climate is perfect for enjoying the sun and indulging in outdoor activities like snorkeling, which reveals a mesmerizing underwater world. Watamu is also a haven for food lovers, with fresh seafood and delicious local dishes being a highlight. Whether you’re traveling with family, seeking a romantic escape, or just craving a relaxing getaway, Watamu offers something for everyone, from serene sunsets to memorable shore experiences.
On the downside, the area can be quite loud and a little chaotic at times, especially in busier spots. However, this minor inconvenience is easily overshadowed by the overall charm and tranquility of this coastal paradise. Watamu is a destination that truly captures the heart and offers unforgettable memories. Highly recommended! 🌴☀️

Generally Watamu is a delightful place for a holiday.
Generally Watamu is a delightful place for a holiday. It was great to have a hot weather Christmas holiday. Mostly we ate at home because we had hired a private chef, but when we did eat out we found the local restaurant excellent. The pizzas at Mapango were some of the best I have ever had.

This was a treat stay and exceeded my expectation.
This was a treat stay and exceeded my expectation. Huge beds, air con and ceiling fans, enormous bathroom and a view of the ocean from the room. Staff always keen to ask how they can help. Breakfast had such a wide selection of food and unhurried time to enjoy it whilst looking out to the ocean. I highly recommend Hemmingways.

A lovely location overlooking the beach and coral islands. A realatively small hotel, with approximately 30 rooms, ours was comfy, but not luxurious, and had a sea view which was nice, but given the lovely grounds with plenty of options to relax and enjoy the view not essential. A nice pool to cool off in when you got to hot. Food was excellent Italian style cuisine coupled with great cocktails and a long wine list (we didn't try the wines). Prices at the higher end by Kenyan standards, but cheaper than equivalent UK food.
I loved and appreciated the attention to detail and the beautiful artwork. I felt very nurtured at Zawadi House. The staff is wonderful - friendly, helpful, and accommodating. The owner is a wealth of information, not just locally, but all around Kenya and her tips are spot on.
Located in a quiet beautiful neighborhood between Watamu & Baracuda beaches, it is close to restaurants and shops.
There is a massage room just off the little swimming pool and I got a wonderful massage at a super reasonable price.
Nice, clean and quiet place where the staff like always in Kenya makes everything possible to make you feel happy. This is very special in this country and they are for half part everywhere of my satisfaction...
Smile and kindness bring a special energy . And then the magical of watamu makes your stay unique.
This is a fairly secluded hotel - perfect if you are looking for something quieter than the streets of watamu on the other side, or don't want to end up with a large noisy group in some of the trendy resorts. The food was really good. The massage was nice too. The hotel helps organize anything you want.
I loved this hotel! While the Watamu beach wasn't great this hotel was a real gem. Lovely room and great breakfast. Nice and helpful staff. Good location. Highly recommended.
