“Great holiday appartement.”
Flat was clean and with nice local decor. The public pool area was beautiful, calm and with lots of sunbeds and nice pools. Seaside was next to the garden. Host Franca was very responsive.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We had an amazing stay at this beachside luxury apartment and couldn’t have asked for a better location. Being just steps from the ocean was a dream—waking up to the sound of the waves and enjoying sunsets from the area within the facility was a real highlight. The apartment itself was spotless, comfortable, and well equipped with everything we needed for a relaxing stay. The bed was very comfortable, the space was bright and airy, and it felt like a true home away from home. The host was friendly, responsive, and made the entire process smooth from check-in to check-out. Communication was easy and we felt well taken care of throughout our stay. Perfect for anyone looking for a peaceful beach getaway. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to others.

“Relaxing stay and amazing food.”
We had a chef and a housekeeper in use for the duration of our stay. They were both very attentive and friendly. The chef especially prepared amazing dishes and would go shopping based on request. The sea pool was amazing. It was next to the beach and beautiful spot. However, unfortunately, due to the "high tie season" beach was full of seaweed, so it was not suitable for swimming at least this time of the year. However, there are other nice beaches nearby. There were also restaurants on the beach next to the accommodation, which was a nice addition. The decoration of the place was really nice and well thought off. Air conditioning was available in the bedrooms only, but this was fine with us. Laundry service and baby cot was available up on request, which was a must for a family travel. If we had any issues, the staff was attentive as well as the owner. Very quiet area! Thank you for everything!!

“Had a wonderful experience at Twiga House Fortamu. We will be going back very soon!”
Twiga House is a great place to spend a chill holiday with your friends and family. The house is located in a beautiful compound with three swimming pools and a gorgeous beach front. All rooms were beautiful and unique with a nice view. The housekeeper was very helpful and ensured the house was clean and organized at all times. Fortamu is well located with most popular bars, restaurants and supermarket within a short distance.

“Epic luxe beach house with maximum comfort”
The house is gorgeous. The decor is lovely and the space is open and airy. It was the perfect place for two couples to escape to the beach and enjoy.

The location and views from the pool were simply amazing. The host was available anytime we needed information and was very accommodating. The Chef was excellent (Highly recommend the Swahili coconut prawns) and the House Manager was fantastic. Had the best time at Fortamu-Twiga House will definitely be going back.
