Opened in late 2023 and nestled between Mida Creek and Turtle Bay, Azura Villa is a brand-new, design-led luxury retreat offering four spacious ensuite bedrooms, each opening onto a private veranda with sweeping views over the mangroves, Mida Creek and the Arabuko Sokoke Forest. From Azura, the international brand known for its acclaimed properties in Mozambique’s Bazaruto Archipelago, this Watamu villa brings the same standard of design and hospitality to Kenya’s coast.

At the heart of the property is a striking 16-metre swimming pool set beside a shaded pergola with a built-in pizza oven and barbecue, perfect for relaxed open-air dining, while the rooftop terrace offers 360-degree sunset views over the mangroves and out to sea. The villa is fully staffed, including a dedicated private chef who prepares a mix of international, seafood, sushi and Swahili dishes tailored to guests’ tastes, alongside daily housekeeping. Guests can also arrange massages, a private gym, yoga and boxing sessions, plus excursions to the Turtle Conservation Centre, diving, snorkelling, kitesurfing and deep-sea fishing — all organised through the villa’s team.

With no neighbouring houses in sight, Azura Villa is best suited to families or groups of up to eight guests wanting a fully private, fully catered escape that blends beach, bush and boutique luxury.
