A vibrant seaside city steeped in history, nestled along Kenya's picturesque Indian Ocean.
Mombasa is the largest city on the Kenyan coast, with its inviting climate, diverse amenities, and wealth of activities, it offers a gateway to a myriad of beachside escapes, offering a blend of relaxation and adventure. The coastal area features nearly 500 kilometres of tranquil white beaches, golden sand dunes, warm aqua water and idyllic secluded islands.
Mombasa is a historic city with an old town and Fort Jesus, now a national monument and museum. Malindi is located just a few hours north of Mombasa, and offers complete relaxation combined with world-class scuba diving and outstanding international and local cuisine. Watamu, like Malindi, is a small beach village with a few small shops. The beaches are one of the main attractions and the coral reefs offer some of the best diving in Kenya. During May to September the beaches are subject to seaweed and tidal variance.
The coastal city of Mombasa makes the most of its beautiful position on the Indian Ocean. As Kenya’s oldest and second largest city, Mombasa offers a great deal of variety and its huge variety of exceptional resorts mean it is a popular choice for rest and relaxation after a safari adventure. Offering a host of luxury, culture and variety, Mombasa is well worth including on any Kenyan itinerary.
Mombasa is part of a wider selection of KENYA holidays and accommodation.
