Just 500 metres from Garoda Beach, Watamu Dunes is a spacious, artisan-crafted villa complex designed for big family reunions or group getaways, with accommodation across two welcoming residences. The main house offers four spacious, characterful ensuite double rooms, while a second house provides two four-person family rooms (each with a double bed and a bunk bed in a separate room, also en suite) — together sleeping up to 12 adults and 4 children, or up to 16 guests in total.

The property was thoughtfully designed using regional materials in collaboration with local Kenyan artisans, giving it a warm, authentic feel throughout. Its outdoor area is the social heart of the villa, with a swimming pool, sun loungers, an outdoor shower, dining space and bar — ideal for long, relaxed days between beach visits. Set in the increasingly popular Garoda area, known for its lush greenery and proximity to Watamu’s national park, the villa offers a peaceful base while still being close to Watamu’s restaurants, dive centres and the Turtle Conservation Centre.

With its size and two-house layout, Watamu Dunes is best suited to multi-generational family reunions, wedding parties or large groups of friends wanting to stay together under one roof (or two) without compromising on space or privacy.
