Set on a striking four-acre waterfront site directly across the creek from Mombasa’s historic Old Town, Hotel English Point Marina & Spa brings a level of modern, international design rarely found on Kenya’s coast.

Designed by the renowned European architectural firm Broadway Malyan, the property forms part of the wider Englishpoint Marina development, combining a boutique hotel with luxury apartment suites, a full marina boardwalk, and event spaces, all wrapped in a striking contemporary aesthetic.

From the moment guests arrive, they’re greeted with a sweeping view across the water to the spectacular skyline of Old Mombasa and the 16th-century Portuguese Fort Jesus — a view that has quickly made this one of the most photographed vantage points on the coast.

The hotel’s 93 air-conditioned rooms and suites are finished to a high standard, each with a private bathroom featuring hot water, bathrobes and slippers, a flat-screen satellite TV, hairdryer and complimentary tea and coffee-making facilities.

Select rooms elevate the experience further with a private in-room jacuzzi and uninterrupted views across the creek, ideal for travelers seeking a touch of extra indulgence.

Guests consistently highlight the spacious, comfortable furnishings and the quality of the air conditioning, along with a genuinely memorable outlook from the balconies and public terraces, particularly at sunset when the Old Town skyline is lit up across the water.

Dining at English Point is a genuine strength, with three distinctive restaurants sharing the marina address — from refined international fine dining to authentic Indian cuisine and a lively boardwalk pizzeria overlooking the water.

The signature infinity pool and sun terrace anchor the resort’s outdoor spaces, offering an uninterrupted visual connection to the Old Port and creek beyond, while the poolside bar and coffee shop provide relaxed spots to unwind between excursions.

For deeper relaxation, the Ansui Spa — its name drawn from the Zen Buddhist concept of ‘peaceful water’ — offers massages, facials, body wraps and scrubs in a tranquil, water-inspired setting, complemented by a well-equipped gym and dedicated personal trainer support.

Beyond its own grounds, English Point places guests within easy reach of Mombasa’s most storied attractions: Fort Jesus, the Old Town’s winding streets, and the working Old Port are all just a short walk or water taxi ride away, while Moi International Airport is roughly a 20-minute drive.

The property also offers conference facilities, a banquet hall, and both an inner and outer pier venue well suited to cocktail parties and waterfront weddings. With its blend of contemporary architecture, genuine luxury, and an unbeatable historic backdrop, Hotel English Point Marina & Spa is an excellent choice for travelers who want Mombasa’s culture and history close at hand without sacrificing modern comfort.
