Baraka House, glamorous Watamu beachfront location

Baraka House and infinity pool are on Watamu's prime beachfront. Set high on a ridge in coastal forest, opposite the famous Watamu National Marine Park, where there is the finest snorkelling and Kite-surfing in Kenya. All bedrooms have ocean views - five upstairs bedrooms with balconies, and one ground floor room. The roof terrace provides unsurpassed views of the Indian Ocean. Included are room stewards, security and a chef with fabulous menus. We are best for quiet or family groups as we are in a residential area.

Full of character, made from coral block, Baraka House is beautifully designed to catch breeze in the hot months and is protected in the windy months.
There are plenty of open spaces throughout the house for one to relax, not to mention the roof top terrace for early morning yoga, evening sun down downers and monthly moon-rises. Enjoy a beach BBQ one of your nights.

Guests have access to every part of their wing of the house and spill straight out onto the beach below. There is a dining room and veranda on the ground floor while the roof, with spectacular views of the Indian Ocean, has a covered daytime lounge plus an open area to sunbath and star gaze. You can dine in a different romantic location every night!

This is a self catering house which is staffed and serviced and fitted with security buttons and a night guard. House staff will be on hand during your stay to ensure you have an enjoyable and stress free break.

There is fabulous 24 hour, sandy-bottomed, turquoise swimming in all tides right in front of the house. This also makes Baraka the best spot on the beach for kite-surfing!

The exact description of the rooms (which don't fit exactly into categories is: 5 upstairs, ocean-view, balconies, double bedrooms, 3 with en suite bathrooms, 2 with their own basins and changing rooms but sharing a shower and toilet. Plus one downstairs double room with en suite bathroom/toilet.

Baraka House is beach front tucked into a coastal forest with indigenous flora and fauna. Sikes monkeys, sunis (tiny buck) and various species of birds are sighted from time to time as well as whales and dolphins on the horizon.

It is quite easy to get around using either tuk tuks (motorised rickshaw) or motor cycles or taxis. Nothing in Watamu is more than 10 minutes away. There are plenty of places to visit including eateries and details will be in your guest information.
