Dive into the clear turquoise waters of Watamu Marine National Park, one of Kenya’s most pristine coastal treasures. Located along the Indian Ocean, just north of Mombasa, Watamu is a protected paradise renowned for its rich marine biodiversity, soft white-sand beaches, and vibrant coral reefs. Here, turtles glide gracefully, tropical fish dart through the coral gardens, and dolphins occasionally join the show.
Beyond the reef, the charm continues with relaxed coastal vibes, dhow sailing at sunset, and fresh seafood under the stars. Watamu is not only a destination for divers and snorkelers — it’s a peaceful seaside retreat where eco-tourism meets barefoot luxury. Whether you’re exploring the reef, kayaking through mangroves, or relaxing on the shore, Watamu welcomes you into a world of color, calm, and conservation.
