Swahili Beach

An icon of coastal luxury, Swahili Beach stands majestically on the southern shores of Kenya, cradled by the azure expanse of the Indian Ocean. As you step into the medium-sized lobby, the stately curved archways envelop you, drawing you into a unique world where grandeur, imagination, and splendor seamlessly converge to create an authentic Swahili experience. Here, the ocean view shimmers in the distance, and local artwork captures the essence of the culture. The refined contemporary opulence continues throughout the resort, showcasing an impressive horizon pool cascading toward the ocean and the various dining venues that celebrate a fusion of flavors. At the Baharini Restaurant, indulge in expertly crafted Italian cuisine, while the Palm Bar and Baraza Bar beckon for evening cocktails in a stylish atmosphere that meshes modernism with rich tradition. Here, the air is filled with an easy sophistication unseen on the Kenyan coast, encouraging guests to immerse themselves in a truly exotic holiday destination.
