Our venue: Watamu Treehouse
Watamu Tree house, located on Kenya’s coastline located around 105 km north of Mombasa, 15 Km south of Malinda. It is a small coastal town with a population of around 30,000 people. It’s known for Watamu Marine National Park and Reserve, which has 3 bays: Watamu, Blue Lagoon and Turtle. Sandy beaches and coral gardens are the defining features. Watamu Beach’s crystal-clear waters make it an excellent location for snorkelling and diving, and the surrounding area is home to an abundance of wildlife.
The Watamu Marine National Park is located around 1km off the coast of Watamu Beach, and it contains 600 fish species, 110 species of stony coral, and countless invertebrates, crustaceans and molluscs. Seabirds, as well as green and hawksbill turtles, inhabit Mida Creek with its sand flats and mangrove forest. Inland, Arabuko-Sokoke Forest Reserve is home to elephants, monkeys and rare birdlife.
Watamu has a strong population of Italian expats who have left their mark on the local cuisine via authentic Italian pizza and ice cream. Watamu is a cosmopolitan town which blends Kenyan, Arab, and Italian influences.
Watamu Tree house: The first version of the house was created in 1992 as a single-room home where the Krystall family came for their holidays. Over the years, the house expanded and the family’s ‘endless summers‘ - full of nature adventures, healthy-food, and yoga – evolved into today’s Watamu Treehouse.
Experience the daily sunrise and sunset overlooking an indigenous forest, or the Indian Ocean. All of the 8 suites offer something different. Discover the one that speaks to you.
ABOUT THE ROOMS
Situated on the nicest and quietest part of Watamu Beach, we offer you unforgettable accommodation spread out over two towers rising out of the forest: Spacious open rooms, unique architecture, beauty and nature everywhere you look. Watamu offers seven unique guest bedrooms, all en-suite with shower, toilet and balcony. There are also additional beds on the roof and verandahs.
All rooms but one look to the sunrise and the sea. Most also view the sunset. If you stay with us at certain times of the month, you can watch the moon rise and set from numerous vantage points. All rooms are equipped with everything you need (towels, mosquito nets, bathrobes, toiletries, drinking water, etc). Simply bring your personal items and let the relaxation begin.
Upper Level Rooms
Some of the rooms have multiple beds and can be triples and are suited to groups of friends. Some have one double bed and are more suited to singles or couples. All rooms are unique and during the booking process we will do our best to help you choose the accommodation that best suits your needs.
Lower Level Rooms
Our lower rooms are on level 3. They are all unique and stunning. They are less high than the upper rooms, so do not have the same views, but each room makes up for that in its own special way.
