Temple Point Resort

Let’s dive headfirst into the spectacle that is Temple Point Resort, the swanky jewel of Watamu Marine National Park. This hotspot is a sumptuous sandwich, nestled comfortably between the Mida Creek and the Indian Ocean. And let’s not forget about its very own private beach, where the sands are as white as a dentist’s dream!The rooms here speak the poetic language of Swahili style, whispering tales of heritage, culture and relaxation. Equipped with air conditioning (because who wants to sweat in paradise?), TV and minibar, these rooms are an oasis of convenience. Each one flaunts either views of the cerulean Indian Ocean, the placid Mida Creek, or the lush gardens. With a patio or balcony thrown in for good measure, you’re set to soak in the scenery! Once you’ve had your fill of marveling at your room, drift towards the Clubhouse Restaurant. Here, you can feast on either a la carte or buffet-style servings of both African and international cuisines. And while your taste buds are being pampered, let your eyes enjoy a 5-star meal of panoramic Mida Creek views at the bar – cocktail in hand, of course.Feeling a little overheated after all the excitement? Plunge into the elegant pool, ensconced by sun loungers that are just begging to be lounged on. Or, let the spa and wellness centre woo you into a state of pure bliss with a massage or a hot tub session that’ll have you floating on cloud nine. With the animation team and the tour desk at your service, you won’t have to lift a finger to arrange sports activities or excursions. Whether you want to channel your inner Serena Williams or explore the enchanting environs, they’ve got you covered.The vibrant heart of Watamu, with its bouquet of shops, restaurants and bars, is just a quick five-minute car jaunt away. History buffs, don’t miss the ancient Ruins of Gedi, just 15 km from your luxurious haven. And for those flying in from afar, airport shuttles to Mombasa or Malindi Airport are ready to whisk you to and from the resort. Couples, we’ve heard your whispers, and so has Temple Point Resort.
