Exclusively positioned on the dazzling palm-fringed golden sands of Shanzu Beach, the Mombasa Serena offers guests the definitive “beach chic’ getaway”. The hotel is laid out in a “village” style, inspired by the nearby 13th-century Swahili town of Lamu with flat-roofed Arab architecture enhanced with native art and furniture. Guests are accommodated in a superb collection of luxury bedrooms that nestle perfectly amidst verdant gardens and swaying palm trees, with many affording glorious views of the ocean and the surrounding gardens.
The hotel has 164 air-conditioned bedrooms and suites, all of which are fully en suite with bath and shower and The Village Rooms are resplendent with decadently carved balconies, coral pillars, fretwork screens and lavish Lamu-styled furniture.
The hotel boasts three restaurants, including an open-air restaurant in the shadows of the palm trees for atmospheric dining under the stars. The cuisine is typically international with themed menus and lavish buffets, including dishes drawing on Swahili influences.
Activities on offer include a gymnasium, scuba diving, tennis, squash, windsurfing, deep-sea fishing, mini-sailing, coral reef snorkelling, beach volleyball and much more. Evening entertainment includes dancing, live bands and traditional Swahili evenings that capture the spirit of the Arab-style street fair, complete with music and food. Then when it is time for some pampering, Maisha health and beauty treatments are available.
