Watamu in Kilifi stands out as the premier destination on the Kenyan Coast, boasting stunning long stretches of white sandy beaches, crystal-clear blue waters, abundant marine life, and a vibrant cultural heritage.

Steeped in cultural history, Watamu is also home to a recently listed World Heritage site: the Gede Ruins, an ancient Swahili village dating back to the 12th century. 

Despite its historical features, the once sleepy village in Malindi Constituency has emerged as an ideal investment destination for star-rated hotels like the five-star Medina Palms and the award-winning Hemingways Beach Resort.
