Baobab Beach Resort details
Kenya’s leading All Inclusive, this three-in-one hotel combines a beachfront setting with plenty of sports and activities.
Right on the coast and surrounded by 80 acres of forest, this aptly-named hotel is in quite a spot. Swaying palms and native baobab trees stretch off into the distance, while a long ribbon of white sand gives way to the clear waters of the Indian Ocean.
The complex itself is split into three different sections – the Baobab, the Maridadi and Kole Kole. Each one comes with its own swimming pool, surrounded by green lawns. The one at Kole Kole steals the show – it’s an infinity number just metres from the beach.
When you’re not poolside, there’s plenty to keep you busy. On the sports front, you’ve got everything from tennis and volleyball to scuba diving and windsurfing. If something more relaxing is in order, head to the spa or take a walk through the grounds of the hotel – they’re home to exotic birds and monkeys.
As for accommodation, each section of the hotel offers up stylish rooms and bungalows. African-print soft furnishings and four-poster wooden beds give them a traditional vibe, while air-conditioning keeps things comfortable. For more in the way of luxury, opt for one of Kole Kole’s Junior suites – you’ll get extras like a king-size bed and a private whirlpool bath.
Last but not least, the hotel’s dining scene is worth a mention. The main All Inclusive restaurant serves up a huge buffet spread of dishes from around the world. What’s more, depending on when you’re visiting, there’s also a seafood and grill à la carte with an oriental influence, and an Italian bistro in the Kole Kole wing.
