-
These include kitesurfing, windsurfing, diving and fishing. WaterLovers has its very own beach house, so all these watersports are easy to arrange.
You can even rent bikes and cycle along the 25km shore! Loads of excursions are possible too.
Keen golfers can pop down the road to the Leisure Lodge Golf Club, to enjoy its 18-hole course amid palm trees, cashew nut trees, and a beautiful lake.
Trips on a dhow (an African sailboat) transport guests to Wasini Island and Kiste Marine Park, to see some beautiful coral gardens and 250 species of marine life such as delightful dolphins!
Another wildlife experience well worth fitting in to your itinerary is visiting the Colobus Trust – and staff are happy to help organize excursions to any of the main safari areas, such as Shimba Hills Reserve, Tsavo, Amboseli and the Maasai Mara.
Closer to the lodge, it is interesting to check out Mombasa old town, to walk down the traditional streets and perhaps stop off at the fruit and vegetable markets or treat yourselves to dinner at the Tamarind Restaurant, the best seafood restaurant in Africa!

The buildings are constructed from local wood, stone and thatch and the interiors combine Sardinian and Caribbean styles to create a fusion that the owners term ‘Afro-chic’! The lodge’s lounge area contains plenty of comfortable seating, with lovely views of the beach.
The same views are visible from the restaurant, ‘Tides’, which defines laidback chic with its beautifully laid separate tables and smart upright chairs. The resort’s bar is perfect for relaxing and getting to know your fellow guests – and there are additional areas outside the lodge for sitting and enjoying a drink or few! The turtle-shaped infinity pool is ideal for chilling out between activities – and guests who enjoy a spot of pampering will relish the Kola Spa, set in the resort’s peaceful gardens. Finally, the on-site boutique offers retail therapy away from the busy town and sells a gorgeous range of local items, such as clothing, arts and crafts, and accessories.

Almanara Boutique Hotel
From C$636 – C$953 ppWith few rooms, attentive service, and stunning beachside location, Almanara is a firm favorite. The décor could look a bit dated to those who like more contemporary luxury, but we think that its overall standards are some of the best in this area.
