Distant Relatives Ecolodge & Backpackers

Distant Relatives Ecolodge & Backpackers is nestled between the peaceful Giriama village of Fumbini and the emerald waters of Kilifi Lagoon. At Distant Relatives, our philosophy has always been to make sure everyone feels welcome - we’re all “distant relatives”! At a time of climate emergency and growing social divide across the world, Distant Relatives aims to bring a message of optimism and inspiration to visitors from all walks of life. Built as an experimental model of environmentally and socially conscious living, Distant Relatives welcomes a diverse group of locals and travelers who share a common love of the world which surrounds them and a desire to live in harmony with our environment. Adventurers from around the world gather here to share stories, mingle with the local community, and enjoy some of Kenya's most breathtaking oceanscapes. Just 60km drive away from the bustling streets of Mombasa and the tourist center of Malindi, Kilifi offers a refreshing taste of pristine untouched coastline. Start your mornings with the smell of freshly brewed Kenyan coffee, sunrise yoga and a dip in the pool. Fill your days sunbathing on Bofa beach, reef snorkeling in crystal clear waters, exploring nearby ruins or playing Beach Volleyball at sunset. Dream without falling asleep--at night enjoy a moonlit dhow sail, beach bonfires, live music and a starry bioluminescent sea. As a travelers haven, Distant Relatives offers a pocket-friendly alternative to other coastal accommodations. Choose from camping under the stars, airy dormitories, safari tents, private rooms and spacious en suite Bandas with their own private gardens and courtyards. Our philosophy has always been to work around nature, rather than making nature work around us. All of our accommodations intertwine with the surrounding environment, connect us with the natural world and minimize our footprint wherever possible. KARIBU SANA!

A beautiful oasis in Kilifi.

Mnarani Club & Spa

Situated on the cliffs of Kilifi Creek, just where the creek meets and merges with the Indian Ocean, Mnarani provides perfectly for the beach and turquoise ocean under one foot and the activity and adventure of creek-life under the other. Kilifi lives and breathes the gentle sea breeze, at the edge of the ocean, between Malindi and Mombasa. Set in 40 acres of landscaped tropical garden, fragranced by Frangipani blossoms and balmy ocean breezes, Mnarani is an idyllic retreat and holiday destination. Mnarani offers you the true African experience with excellent service always offered with a smile. Explore the coast north of Mombasa and take advantage of the brilliant diving and sailing opportunities. Daily entertainment and fine cuisine complete your fun filled days and make for an excellent holiday for the whole family.

Mnarani value for money and amazing people.

Salty's Kitesurf Village

Salty’s Kitesurf Village is the perfect blend of a finely kitted kitesurfing learning center, tasteful and affordable accommodation and a sweetly vibed bar & restaurant in Kilifi, Kenya. We're right on Bofa Beach, a beautiful stretch of white powdery sand on the Indian Ocean that is often so empty you could sit for an hour and see only a handful of people. Guests can get straight out of the ocean, towel off, and grab a quick drink and bite before heading back out. Salty’s Kitesurf Village is a purpose-driven spot on the Kenyan Coast whose focus is not only hosting guests but more about sharing this slice of paradise and the ethos we have built around it with you!

An amazing stay in magical corner of the Kenyan coast.

I travelled the world enough to understand when I find a gem. Salty's is this place. The location is just superb, right on a stretch of a palm-fringed ivory-white beach overlooking the Indian Ocean. The place is run with a family-oriented philosophy and a magical sense of adventure and care for the environment. It makes you feel right at home—the salt of the earth. I could stay here forever. Thank you, Salty's, you made my week.

Okay

Reviewed By Pavness

It was ok, a bit old-school but with friendly staff. The dinner was nice with generous portions of seafood. The rooms are built in the style of the local traditional huts but are functional. The hotel has beachfront access and you can walk for miles along the beach. Power went off twice for hours on end - was surprised there was no generator (management says it malfunctioned), and one of the pool stairs is a health hazard that almost broke my leg - apparently, not a new issue (has been reported before) but still hasn't been fixed.

Perfect destination for a perfect family vacation

Reviewed By brendaho544

I had a wonderful experience at Silver Palm Spa and Resort. The staff at the property are all great! Very helpful, they will go over and beyond to make your stay comfortable. The food was fantastic! My one year old baby got fresh meals prepared to his preference which was my biggest concern before the travel. The rooms were wonderful, very spacious and well cleaned not to mention the big pool! My gratitude to the entire team and I will sure visit again.
