“Pretty and relaxing getaway spot.”
We had a very nice stay at Kimya House. We initially stayed in the self contained apartment away from the main house. Very private and relaxing. Alberto was a wonderful host, welcoming and helpful. Local staff were super nice too. Pleasant surroundings, nice pool. A substantial breakfast. You could also request an evening meal. On one occasion Alberto organised a dinner for all the guests at a restaurant. Good location not far from the beach.

“A perfect piece of paradise”
The genuine welcoming vibe from the staff and host without being intrusive was wonderfully refreshing. The space is beautiful, clean and authentic with attention to detail. The location is peaceful, convenient, away from any hassle and it feels safe. We stayed in the queen suite which gave us extra privacy which was lovely. Breakfast was fresh and accommodating, as we are vegan. Great recommendations and help from Alberto. The place allows access to the kitchen and facilities and there is always help on hand. The pool is the cherry on top and always super clean. Thanks for having us! We hope to see you again.

“Loved this accommodation, felt very much at home here.”
Felt very much at home. Amazing breakfast, very nice pool, and the house is situated in a very green garden - like a little oase. The owner is a super friendly man, so is the staff.

“Beautiful location, lovely staff and would dream of booking the entire place out if traveling with a group.”
The breakfast was great and the host and staff were incredibly friendly. Very welcoming and accommodating. Location was great in terms of being close to amenities and although it was a short walk to the main road there were always plenty of transport options available if you weren’t comfortable walking the short distance to the busier areas. The Gym, although relatively small, was a great feature and when it got to hot to be in the sun I could quite happily keep myself busy by the pool or in the gym.

“Wonderful five days at Kimya House!”
We had a wonderful week at Kimya house, thank you so much Alberto, Salim, Tinga, Emanuel and Mariam (sorry if I misspelled any of your names)! The property was clean, spacious and relaxing. Chef Tinga provided us with delicious breakfast and dinner, probably the best food you can find in Watamu. Manager Alberto answered quick and patiently to all our questions before we arrived. We warmly recommend Kimya House to anyone visiting Watamu.

Our stay was absolutely amazing. You might expect a delicious breakfast prepared according to your preferences. You can chill by the poolside, in your private quiet place, created for relaxation. Since we were the only guests in the whole resort, Alberto was so kind to offer us a better room, which was absolutely marvelous!
