Located in Malindi, 400 metres from Tropical Beach, Hotel Villa Malindi provides accommodation with an outdoor swimming pool, free private parking, a garden and a shared lounge.

The hotel has a terrace and pool views, and guests can enjoy a meal at the restaurant or a drink at the bar. We loved absolutely everything about Villa Malindi. The villa, the rooms, the pool, the whole atmosphere, the food and the free laundry service option. Alex and George, as well as other staff were amazing. Alex was in touch with every guest of the villa in the morning and at dinner, asking if we needed anything, advised on where to go to see the best beaches and sightseeing, arranged the car when we needed. Honestly, that was the best stay in Kenya and was a cherry on top in the end of our big 4-week trip.
