An All-Inclusive Beachfront Escape in Watamu
Relish the all-inclusive beachfront relaxation at Turtle Bay Beach Club, a family-friendly resort in Watamu, Kenya. Enjoy exquisite dining, vibrant water sports, and mesmerizing ocean views.
Turtle Bay Beach Club is a well-priced, four-star all-inclusive resort with a strong family focus, fronting one of the most beautiful bays on the Kenyan coast. Its combination of a dedicated kids' club, water-sports centre and generous dining plan makes it a dependable choice for a no-surprises beach holiday.
The resort stands on the shore of Watamu Marine National Park, one of Kenya's oldest protected marine areas, where coral gardens shelter turtles, rays and shoals of reef fish just offshore. Snorkelling and scuba diving are the headline activities, alongside fishing trips, bird watching in the nearby Mida Creek mangroves and excursions to the Gede ruins and Arabuko-Sokoke forest.
Turtle Bay offers 145 rooms in garden and ocean-view categories, each with double or twin beds, en-suite bathrooms and a terrace or balcony. The style is relaxed and tropical rather than formal, in keeping with the barefoot, club-style atmosphere of the resort. Dining runs the full spectrum from all-inclusive buffets to poolside lunches and private dinners, with kids' menus, halal, vegetarian and vegan options making the plan genuinely flexible for mixed groups.
Watamu combines naturally with a coastal circuit taking in Diani Beach, or with an island finish via the 9-day Kenya and Zanzibar itinerary.
Comfortable rooms with double or twin beds, en-suite bathroom, and terrace or balcony overlooking the gardens.
Rooms with private balcony offering scenic views of the Indian Ocean, ideal for a more relaxing stay.
Upgraded rooms with enhanced décor, better positioning, and additional comfort.
Spacious rooms designed for families, offering extra bedding and more living space.
