Popular Kenya beach resort
Bamburi is an enjoyable beach resort on the south-east coast of Kenya, 8 miles north of Mombasa and a short transfer from Mombasa airport. The compact, easy-going nature of the resort and an enjoyably animated atmosphere make Bamburi a popular choice for package holidays in Kenya. Bamburi holidays are for those looking for relaxation, ample tourist facilities and plenty of organised tours rather than independent adventure. Most Bamburi hotels are right on the beach. Holidays in Bamburi are particularly tempting during the British winter when the resort is at its best.
 

Idyllic Indian Ocean beach
Bamburi holidays very much centre on Bamburi Beach: a lengthy stretch of perfect, fine white sand lined with swaying coconut palms and backed by lush green countryside. Gently shelving Bamburi Beach is lapped by the gorgeously warm Indian Ocean. The offshore coral reef keeps the turquoise water calm and safe for relaxed swimming. Bamburi holidays offer a wide choice of watersports, including snorkelling, water-skiing, jet skis, sailing and deep-sea fishing. Your Bamburi holiday could also include scuba diving and glass-bottom boat trips around the offshore coral reef that protects Bamburi Beach.

Enjoyable nightlife
While Bamburi holidays often tend to revolve around the hotel, there is a varied selection of restaurants and plenty of authentic delicious Kenyan cuisine to sample. Bamburi holiday nightlife features hotel entertainment, romantic seafront bars and sophisticated discos with live music. Local crafts, cloth and jewellery make excellent Bamburi holiday souvenirs. Most visitors are content to while away their Bamburi holidays on Bamburi Beach and around the hotel, but for those with energy there is a great selection of excursions that include the Bamburi Quarry Nature Park, the Bombolulu Cultural Centre and a wealth of rewarding trips from Mombasa. Children on holiday in Bamburi will enjoy the waterpark at neighbouring Kenyatta Beach. For a taste of everyday life in Kenya, take a trip into Mombassa.
