Hemingways Resort

hemmingways_beach_11.jpg

     

Hemingways Resort lies within the Watamu Marine National Park, only 3 hours from Tsavo East, Kenya's largest National Park. It is situated approximately 90 miles north of Mombasa and 18 miles south of Malindi on the Turtle Bay beach at Watamu.

 

Hemingways is a 78-bed resort-hotel on the stunning sands of Watamu Bay. The ambience of the hotel is of relaxed sophistication, with the friendliness of a privately-owned hotel coupled to the facilities and standards of an international resort. Our international cuisine is highly regarded, with attentive service to match, and our staff are renowned for their courtesy and friendliness.

Our beach was voted by the Sunday Times as being one of the top 10 beaches in the world, there being just 4 hotels on as many miles of coast, fringed by the finest of tropical barrier reefs.


Three miles up the coast from Hemingways is Mida, a tidal lagoon of mangrove creeks teeming with exotic bird-life, and the venue for our sundowner cruises on an Arabic dhow, whilst out to sea there is dolphin-watching, snorkelling and diving. For game-lovers we offer a variety of personal safaris with our own experienced guides. For the more energetic we have a wide range of excursions and facilities, from shopping trips to our in-house gym. Add the best big-game fishing fleet in Africa with some of the most productive fishing grounds in the world, and you have a truly unique and exceptional destination for your tropical vacation. Whatever you are looking for in your fantasy holiday, we look forward to making that dream come true, and would be delighted to welcome you to our own little bit of paradise.

there are double and twin beds to choose from in the more spacious rooms of the new Hemingways wing. These rooms are all on the first and second floors and the exercise taken on the staircases is rewarded by enhanced panoramas of the beach and sea from the balconies. Deluxe Rooms - very spacious rooms are on the ground floor of the new wing, offering the easiest of access to the hotel gardens and beach, they have a bath as well as a shower, three single beds and a terrace with table and chairs.

Food
- Wining and dining at Hemingways. We take our food very seriously'

We offer a wide range of international styles, ranging from sophisticated recipes with delicate sauces, to simple cooking of the finest ingredients. We have our own farms at Lake Naivasha, with fresh vegetables and flowers flown in on a daily basis, whilst our own fishing boats land fish every afternoon. We have buffets on Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday lunch including Mongolian, Italian and Indian specialities. Live cooking is a major feature including not only main dishes but also our pasta and salad stations.

 

And should you come fishing, the chefs will prepare your prize exactly as you would like it. You might fancy Japanese style sashimi, finely sliced with soya sauce and wasabi, or maybe blackened Cajun style fillets, or just simply steamed! Which ever way, you will never eat fish fresher than this.
