Is a package holiday to Watamu worth it?

Watamu is a small coastal town on Kenya's north coast that has established itself as one of the best beach destinations in East Africa — with a surprisingly large Italian community that gives the place a Mediterranean flair. Here, you can find excellent pizzerias alongside Swahili street food and Chianti next to Tusker beer.

The Watamu Marine National Park is one of the oldest marine protected areas in Kenya and is home to spectacular coral reefs, sea turtles, and dolphins. The Bio-Ken Snake Farm and the Watamu Turtle Watch program are exemplary conservation projects. Between October and March, you can observe whale sharks off the coast.

The Gede Ruins — just 15 minutes away — are the atmospheric remains of a medieval Swahili town from the 12th century, overgrown in tropical forest with monkeys and butterflies. Mida Creek is a protected mangrove channel that invites relaxation during kayak tours and bird watching.

Sardinia 2 Beach, Turtle Bay, and Garoda Beach offer powdery white sand and warm, calm waters — ideal for families. At low tide, natural pools form in the coral reefs where you can splash around like in a bathtub in the Indian Ocean.

Watamu particularly impresses with stunning beaches, breathtaking nature, family-friendly offers, first-class relaxation options. As a package holiday destination, you benefit from attractive all-inclusive packages with flights, hotels, and often transfers – all at a fixed price and fully secured.
