Some really good beaches... very full day trips on boats...
Some really good beaches... very full day trips on boats... lots of stalls to purchase things... good supermarkets on the main road if you are staying in a villa... due to the heavy Italian tourist presence, there are plenty of great eateries and restaurants... easy to get around on motorbike or tuk tuk... generally very safe compared to Nairobi.Guest review byAsefUnited Kingdom - 8.0

I loved my stay there. The room was big and clean. The staff were very helpful and cheerful. I would also like to thank Yasmeen for making my stay pleasant. Thank you very much peponi villa entire crew 🙏Guest review byAhmedKenya - 10.0
Watamu is one of my favorite places to visit in North Coast.
Watamu is one of my favorite places to visit in North Coast. It is not overpowering like other towns in North Coast. The people are very friendly and hospitable. I particularly enjoyed the sunset views at Litchaus and Crab Shack. The cultural tour to Waka Waka Island and seeing dolphins. However, it can be pricier than other places. I recommend going with an open mind and a spirit of fun. To get the most from Watamu, do not rush. I recommend spacing out your travel and allowing yourself to soak it all in. There's definitely so much to see and learn from the local community.Guest review byAnonymous - 8.0
The people are quite friendly including cab divers.
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.Guest review bykaguru - 8.0

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 :)Guest review byDanielaChile - 10.0

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! 🌴☀️Guest review byJoannaPoland

- From US$180.50 per nightScored out of 10, guest rating 9.0Superb - What previous guests thought, 247 reviewsWe really enjoyed the stay at this hidden boutique hotel. It had a relaxing environment where everyone is welcoming, calm and friendly. There is a boat that can bring you within 10 to 15 minutes to Lichthaus which is a nice and vibrant place. From Lichthaus it is another 15 minutes by taxi to down town Watamu. However we really enjoyed staying back at The Mida Creek, there are a lot of different nooks to sit and lay down which is lovely.Guest review byDorineNetherlands
- From US$130 per nightScored out of 10, guest rating 8.6Fabulous - What previous guests thought, 101 reviewsA true gem! The hotel is peaceful and welcoming, perfect for a relaxing stay. The staff is incredibly kind and attentive — they even prepared a takeaway breakfast for our safari, such a thoughtful gesture. The location is excellent, just a short walk from the beach and many great restaurants. I will keep wonderful memories of this stay, simply perfect! 🌴Guest review byVanessaFrance
