Kenya che paradiso! Splendido Resort in all inclusive

The hotel is set in a 2,000-square-metre tropical garden on either side of which are the elegant Arabic-style buildings housing the rooms. Harmony prevails here, between the cosy reception and the large central building housing the restaurant, bar and elegant lounge, amidst the bougainvillea and palm trees overlooking the sea.Our beach is Jacaranda Bay, unparalleled on the Kenyan coast, just a few kilometres from Watamu. Malindi is 20 km away and Mombasa Airport 125 km with a transfer time of about 2h30. Jacaranda Bay stretches for about 9 km and is part of the Watamu Marine Reserve. The play of the tides causes small atolls known as 'Sardinia 2' to emerge.  Beach & PoolsThe hotel is located within the Watamu and Malindi Marine Park area, directly on the beach of Jacaranda Bay. It is described as one of the most beautiful beaches in Africa, stretching 9 kilometres to the fishing village of Mayungu. The effect of the tides creates coral sand atolls, known as Sardinia 2, which are popular excursion destinations.A few hundred metres from Jumbo, you can find several chiringuitos and water sports centres, such as kite surfing.       Our private beach, with a 90-metre beachfront area, is equipped with sun loungers and natural shady areas created by palm trees.The Jumbo has three seawater pools and two large Jacuzzis; from one of the pools you can directly access the beach.All the pools are surrounded by sunbathing areas with sun loungers and shaded corners.
