Description and Location

The Mombasa Serena Beach Hotel "The sea at Mombasa is as blue as a cornflower, and, outside the inlet to the harbour, the long breakers of the Indian Ocean draw a thin crooked white line, and give out a low thunder even in the calmest weather. " (Karen Blixen, Out of Africa)

Styled to resemble a 13th century Swahili town complete with winding lanes, carved balconies, fountained courts and bustling market squares, the Serena Beach Hotel provides an oasis of tranquillity whilst delivering a unique mix of high-action water sports, sybaritic sun worship, world-class cuisine and vibrant nightlife.

Set back from the powder-white sands and shimmering waters of the Mombasa National Marine Park, the hotel décor blends the time-honoured intricacy of Swahili carving with the jewelled glow of Arabian lanterns, the white-gleaming splendour of a Sultan’s palace and the lotus-cool of a Persian water garden. The extensive coconut-palm cooled grounds offer an exotic mix of tropical trees and bright blossoms and centre on an idyllic sky-blue swimming pool with a thatched ‘swim-up’ bar and crystal waters that cascade into the tiled coolness of the market square below.


Guest Rooms

The hotel offers 164 air-conditioned rooms and suites. All rooms have both bath and shower and free mineral water is provided.

Dining

Dine in comfort at one of our distinguished restaurants offering you a variety of mouth watering dishes. Our cuisine is carefully selected and blended with the local culture to give you a very memorable food experience. Please click on any of the restaurants below to see what they have to offer.

  • Fountain restaurant - Drawn up on the shoreline, just yards away from the breaking waves, and built to resemble a traditional Swahili dhow - complete with sanded decks, painted prow, roped capstans, lashed sails and kanga-decked tables, the Jahazi Grill specialises in stunning extravaganzas of fresh-caught seafood. Choices include: crab, squid, lobster, prawns and a wide variety of sea fish. Vegetarian and non-fish options are also available.
  • Jahazi grill restaurant - Cooled by a gentle ocean breeze and clustered around the hanging blossoms. The cuisine, which features internationally themed menus and lavish buffets, also draws on a strong Swahili influence to introduce an abundance of tropical fruits, exotic spices, coconuts, limes, coriander and fresh-caught seafood to the colourful choice of dishes.
  • Sokoni restaurant - The bustling Sokoni plaza is designed to resemble the colourful marketplace of a traditional Swahili town and features an ornamental fishpond, fluttering Arabian sunshades and a palm-thatched dining area offering fresh-baked pizzas and a wide range of international snacks.
  • Piano bar - The internationally designed piano bar features live piano music, a sophisticated cocktail line up and generous open-air terraces where guests may recline on cushioned benches as they trace the path of the moon across the ocean.
  • Nyota bar - The breeze wafted Nyota terrace offers a rare glimpse into the traditional Swahili world. A world where veiled maidens sit behind fretwork screens, brass lanterns swing in carved niches, visitors recline on sumptuous sofas and families sip cardamom-flavoured coffee and look down from carved balconies on to the bustle of the square below.
