Updated On 12th February, Holy scha-molies. Who knew the beaches in Kenya were world-class? Because I did NOT. I am honestly blown away by Watamu. I would never have thought to go to the Kenyan coast for fine white sand beaches, ridiculously perfect temperature waters and palm trees. Never, ever. Add in turtles, coral reefs, incredible coffee, sunshine and open-air treehouse accommodation with yoga by sunrise and sunset, and you can imagine just how dreamy our post-safari beach days were in Watamu. It was the perfect end to our 5-day safari trip. Top tip: Check out the flight deals on Skyscanner here. Watamu is a gorgeous coastal town in Kenya, about km north of Mombasa and 15km south of Malindi. Think gorgeous fine sand beaches, stunning coral reefs sitting just off the shoreline, a collection of quaint Kenyan ice cream shops, cafes and local super markets to stroll between and an inland forest home to elephants, monkeys and rare birdlife. Watamu sits with the Indian ocean brushing along its beaches. These are the same waters that grace the idyllic destinations of the Maldives and Mauritius. You can slide into the ocean without an ounce of hesitation about the temperature so warm but still refreshing. And, you have the finest of sand moulding between your toes as you walk along the coast. If you love the water, check out this post for how to get PADI certified! The best part? No huge western hotel chains towering over the palm trees, no grids of sun loungers to climb through and no jet skis in the water. We stayed a 5-minute tuk tuk ride down the coast from the centre of Watamu at Watamu Treehouse. Of course, nearer the town they do have hotels on the beach. Just some sustainable tourism which is heavily relied on here by the Watamu community. Top tip: Check out money-saving tips on my blog here. Honestly though, five days of safari and three days of post-safari relaxation in Watamu was the perfect combination of animal adrenalin and fresh ocean air for our time in Kenya. Just perfect. Now, not only did I experience the best beaches of my travels thus far whilst here in Kenya, but I also rested my head in the dreamiest setting of all. I got to stay in a treehouse for the first time and it was everything I imagined and more. You wake up to the sound of the birds in the trees. You open your eyes to the glimmers of golden light breaking through the clouds. The sun starts to appear over the horizon to warm the sky. Now you freshen up in the open shower with herbal washes before popping on your dressing gown and having a Kenyan coffee arrive at your doorstep. You take half an hour to look across the contrasting blues of the ocean and the reefs that lay within it. Smiling, you remember the day is yours to design as you wish. The handcrafted food beaming with nutrition is to be served at a time of your convenience. The beach will be there all day long. Here are 12 ways to improve your travel photography! The area feels wonderfully untouched. Staying at Watamu Treehouse is a once in a lifetime experience. I was so happy to share it with my mum to celebrate her year of turning Here are my top tips for planning and researching your next adventure. There are seven bedrooms in this hand-crafted treehouse. All of them encapsulate the Watamu Treehouse values: getting in touch with nature, elegant simplicity, outdoor living, rejuvenation and natural beauty. Should you wish to immerse yourself fully in the Treehouse, you can book a full board experience. This includes the on-site chefs nourishing your body with insanely tasty and nutritious hand crafted meals. It is recommended though that you go half board, which is exactly what we did. This leaves room to explore the town and support the local businesses. This is the perfect chance to indulge in the Kenyan culture and cuisine. Top tip: Head down to The Crab Shack a local community project for dinner on the wooden structures that sit on the edge of the Mangrove forest with views over the creek. A must do when in Watamu! Whilst staying at Watamu Treehouse there is a wealth of opportunity to engage in outdoor adventure and physical activity. This is all presented to you upon arrival in the guest welcome pack. Your stay at Watamu Treehouse is more than just food and accommodation. The staff most of whom are locals are amazing.

Constant trade winds, a choice of sandbars, five kilometres of powder white sand beaches and large summer swells make Watamu a wonderful playground for kiters of all levels. A world heritage site, Watamu is also a protected area of outstanding natural beauty with safari game reserves as well as a stack of other activities and sights close by. There are two trade wind seasons in Watamu: The Kaskazi blows December to April from the north east, averaging around 20 - 25 knots. Generally picking up from about 11am, it gives you time to get a paddle board session in beforehand. During the Kaskazi season, you'll use your 9m a lot and your 12 well into the evening. Being equatorial winds, both these systems are extremely constant and both blow cross and cross-onshore, providing safe riding conditions. The best swells come during the Kuzi season. Watamu has its fair share of great breaks to enjoy as the large Indian Ocean swells meet with the reef and the sand bars. Kuzi time the air temperature is sometimes a little cooler but not by much. No need to hire a car as there are loads of tuk-tuks that will take you to the different kitesurfing spots along the bay, for around KSH from anywhere in town. Bodabodas are motor bike taxis and they charge just around 50KSH. But be cautious of these — they have been known to be a bit reckless with their driving, and no helmets are provided.

Paje has fewer tourists than the North of the island, but it still has plenty going on in the evenings. The majority of tourists Kite beach is the most popular spot and enjoys a good mix of flatter water and waves on the reef. This part of the beach has the biggest expanse of clear waters with only a few patches of coral visible at the lowest tides that are easily avoidable. There is plenty of space for everyone and with 5km of beach you will never find it crowded. This location works on all tide states. This is a seasonal spot, working best from December to March. Great sandbar exposed at low tide, which provides flat water perfect for freestyle riding. The spot also has the Watamu landmark Turtle Rock which works great as a backdrop for photography purposes. This spot works best three hours either side of low tide on both springs and neaps. Another ideal flat water riding location suitable for all levels of riders. However at some busier points throughout the year this spot can get very busy with sunbathers and swimmers so take into consideration other beach users safety. The location works best three hours either side of low tide on both neaps and springs. Clean wind, good water depth for throwing down your favourite tricks and space for hundreds of kite surfers. Good news is a busy day would be three people on the water. The location only works on a neap tide three hours either side of low tide. This location only works well in the Kuzi season, it is a 20 min drive from Watamu so is bit more of an excursion. However for those wave riders out there this location delivers long clean lines of waves. The wind is slightly cross off shore and makes for a world class wave riding spot. The location works best in a SE swell. Good news is the prevailing swell direction is SE during the months of May through to September. This location only works three hours either side of high tide.
