Watamu, located on Kenya’s coastline located around 105 km north of Mombasa, 15 Km south of Malinda. It is a small coastal town with a population of around 30,000 people.
It’s known for Watamu Marine National Park and Reserve, which has 3 bays: Watamu, Blue Lagoon and Turtle. Sandy beaches and coral gardens are the defining features. Watamu Beach’s crystal-clear waters make it an excellent location for snorkelling and diving, and the surrounding area is home to an abundance of wildlife.
The Watamu Marine National Park is located around 1km off the coast of Watamu Beach, and it contains 600 fish species, 110 species of stony coral, and countless invertebrates, crustaceans and molluscs. Seabirds, as well as green and hawksbill turtles, inhabit Mida Creek with its sand flats and mangrove forest. Inland, Arabuko-Sokoke Forest Reserve is home to elephants, monkeys and rare birdlife.
Watamu has a strong population of Italian expats who have left their mark on the local cuisine via authentic Italian pizza and ice cream. Watamu is a cosmopolitan town which blends Kenyan, Arab, and Italian influences.
Watamu Tree house: The first version of the house was created in 1992 as a single-room home where the Krystall family came for their holidays. Over the years, the house expanded and the family’s ‘endless summers‘ - full of nature adventures, healthy-food, and yoga – evolved into today’s Watamu Treehouse.
