Watamu is a beautiful and peaceful village on the Kenya Coast, nestled between pristine beaches and lush tropical forest. Since it was first settled as a remote Swahili outpost at Gedi, this area has remained a haven of peace and tranquillity and is still one of the coast’s most undeveloped and natural areas. Known for its unique, relaxed and laid-back way of life, Watamu welcomes visitors seeking to chill out, explore and enjoy the wonders that it has to offer.
When you arrive in Watamu, you soon come to realize that the expansive stretches of soft white beaches, ocean breezes gently swaying the coconut palms leaves and breathtaking turquoise water are exactly what you imagined for your ideal coastal vacation. The peaceful setting of a four-mile beach with three bays – Watamu, Blue Lagoon and Turtle – gives access to warm ocean water for a large choice of aquatic sports and marine activities.
Of course, there is too the chance to dine out at the many local restaurants & bars or enjoy the luxury of home made ice-creams!
Just beyond the shoreline are the stunning coral reefs that are protected by the Watamau Marine Park. These offer world-class snorkeling and scuba diving to all who venture into the underwater world.
Or, for a more leisurely day, take a boat trip to the beautiful mangorves that are nearby. Or, enjoy an amazing sunset cruise.
Whether it’s a family holiday, a romantic getaway, pure relaxtion or a wild coastal adventure, you’ll never forget your time at Kasa Tatu Cottages and the Wonders of Watamu.
