## Details

## Why Stay at Turtle Bay Beach Club?

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.

## Where Is Turtle Bay Beach Club & What Wildlife Can You See?

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.

## Rooms & Style

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.

## Who Is It Ideal For?

- Families with children who will make full use of the kids' club and pools
- Snorkellers and divers drawn to Watamu's protected reefs
- Value-conscious travellers who like the certainty of all-inclusive pricing
- Couples seeking a low-key beach base rather than a party resort
