Overview

Beachfront 5-star resort with a private saltwater pool and exclusive beach area in Watamu

Rooms

All 30 units at Visiwa Beach Resort have private bathrooms, air conditioning, and either balconies or private patios. Several rooms offer panoramic ocean views toward Watamu Bay and the Seven Islands. Each room includes a ceiling fan, a small fridge, and daily housekeeping twice a day that sets up mosquito nets in the evening.

Dining

The on-site romantic restaurant serves Italian, seafood, local, and European cuisines with vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, and dairy-free options. Breakfast is continental and served à la carte, with fresh fruit platters, Spanish omelettes, and freshly squeezed juices. The bar offers a range of wines, cocktails, and mocktails such as the Virgin Visiwa and Virgin Mojito.

At high tide, guests swim directly from the sandy beach; at low tide, they walk to the coral islands and the reef.
