The property has garden views and is 23 km from Watamu National Marine Park and 1.5 km from Bio-Ken Snake Farm. There is free private parking and the property features paid airport shuttle service. Perfect place to stay if you are not looking for a noisy resort holiday stay. This is a place to relax. Staff was always ready with a smile to help you with all your needs. Structure is new, rooms are big and very clean. It is close to the beach and swimming pool was great after a day outside. We used the personal chef and I can assure you top service. I would surely recommend it.

Located in Malindi, 400 metres from Tropical Beach, Hotel Villa Malindi provides accommodation with an outdoor swimming pool, free private parking, a garden and a shared lounge. The property is set 36 km from Watamu National Marine Park, 1.9 km from Malindi Marine National Park and 26 km from Bio-Ken Snake Farm. The hotel has a terrace and pool views, and guests can enjoy a meal at the restaurant or a drink at the bar. Villa Malindi was an exceptional experience for myself, my wife and my 13 year old son. Alexander is an incredible host with an extensive knowledge of all of the best places to go and activities to do in Malindi and surrounding area. He is also extremely well connected with local business owners and activity providers, and he made sure our outings were well planned, memorable and personalised to our individual interests. I cannot recommend Villa Malindi enough, and cannot wait to visit again.
