Watamu Holidays - Deserted beaches and superb diving
A Watamu holiday is a perfect choice for those seeking immaculate, often deserted beaches and truly stunning natural surroundings. Situated on the east coast of Kenya, the resort has a welcome laid back ambience, yet offers a full program of water sport activities and an authentic African experience. Watamu village stands on a small headland, between the Blue Lagoon and Watamu Bay and is just a short drive away from Malindi beach resort. Its offshore reefs, which form part of the Watamu Marine National Park are considered one of the best diving and snorkeling spots in East Africa.
Watamu Holidays – Water sports galore
Local food stalls and restaurants line the Watamu streets and a good selection of bars and discos have relaxed nightly entertainment. Shopping is a low key affair with souvenir and handicraft stalls throughout the resort. Waterskiing, snorkeling, fishing or a sunset trip aboard a traditional dhow are popular with visitors and can be booked through beachside hotels. Stroll along miles of deserted shoreline and venture underwater to fully appreciate the colour and beauty of a Watamu holiday where close encounters with lionfish, turtles and moray eels are common.
Holidays in Watamu – Stunning natural surroundings
The sheer biodiversity of the surrounding area make a Watamu holiday a dream destination for nature lovers. Cool forest walks where buffalo and elephants can be seen, coastal mangroves, underwater caves and bird watching are all within easy reach of Watamu. For a little history lesson, journey to the nearby Gede Ruins, a 12th century Swahili village which was inexplicably abandoned more than 600 years ago. This well preserved settlement is now a national museum and there is an adjacent butterfly breeding park. Watamu holidays offer pure relaxation, natural beauty and energetic activities for all to enjoy, along with genuine Kenya warmth and hospitality.
