Best Time to Visit Medina Palms
Located on the stunning Turtle Bay Beach in Watamu, Medina Palms is one of Kenya's most luxurious beach resorts, offering direct access to the Watamu Marine National Park, white-sand beaches, world-class snorkeling, diving, and a tranquil coastal atmosphere.
December to March – Best Beach Holiday Season
This is widely considered the best time to visit Medina Palms. The weather is warm, sunny, and dry, with calm ocean conditions perfect for swimming, snorkeling, diving, dhow cruises, and relaxing on the beach. Marine life is abundant, and visibility for underwater activities is excellent.
July to October – Cool & Pleasant Coastal Weather
These months offer cooler temperatures, lower humidity, and excellent conditions for beach walks, water sports, and exploring Watamu. It is also one of the best periods for combining a beach holiday with a Kenya safari.
November – Green Season
The short rains usually arrive during this period, but showers are often brief. The gardens become lush, visitor numbers are lower, and the resort maintains a peaceful atmosphere. Birdwatching and photography are particularly rewarding.
April to May – Low Season
These are typically the wettest months on the Kenyan coast. While rainfall is more frequent, guests benefit from lower rates, fewer visitors, and a very relaxed atmosphere. The resort remains open and tranquil throughout this period.
