LOCATION:
"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 Sultans 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.

The Village Rooms
Each one of the rooms contained within the winding lanes and
shady courts of the traditional Swahili Village is uniquely
styled to resemble a historical building from the ancient
island town of Lamu. Design features include carved balconies,
coral pillars, fretwork screens, Zanzibari-carved doors, gleaming
arches, stone-carved niches and lavish Lamu-styled furniture. |
The
Garden Rooms
Our selection of spacious garden rooms looks out over a lush
green garden towards the sparkling reaches of the Indian Ocean.
Design features include carved balconies, winding stairways,
broad verandas, sumptuous brass-inlaid furniture and a colour
scheme that fuses aquamarine seas, azure skies and emerald
palms.
DININGS & BARS: The
Fountain Restaurant - Cooled by a gentle ocean breeze and
clustered around the hanging blossoms of a traditional Persian
garden this sumptuous table dhôte restaurant features
Swahili carvings, stained glass lanterns, Lamu-esque arches,
marble fountains and wide verandas commanding views over waving
palms and shimmering ocean. 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.
• The Pool Bar - Under the shade of
a palm-thatched roof, looking out over the sapphire waters
of the pool is Coconut Willys Pool Bar, a swim-up
bar that allows guests to enjoy a cooling drink, without having
to get out of the pool.
• The Jahazi Grill - 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.
• The Sokoni Plaza and Pizzeria - The

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.
• Sample Swahili Life on the Nyota Terrace - 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.
• The 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.
• The Ice Cream parlour - Centre stage
to the bustle of the market place is the cool of the ice cream
parlour offering everything from lavish knickerbockers glories
to luscious fruit concoctions.
• The Makuti Bar - Set amongst rolling

squeezed juices and hosts the colourful Lamu Market where

handicrafts and tempting Swahili snacks are on offer.
