Tribe Beach House sits on the Kenyan coast at Kilifi, with direct access to the beach and the warm Indian Ocean. Two villas share tropical gardens and an infinity pool, and you can book a single room or take over a whole villa, which makes it a good fit for groups and private retreats. Each villa has its own bar, with an international wine list and cocktails mixed to order. It's run by Tribe Hotels, the Nairobi-based group behind the city's Tribe Hotel. Expect a relaxed, private house by the sea rather than a big resort.




The kitchen follows a "1-mile diet", so the chefs cook with fish from local fishermen, produce from nearby farms and vegetables from the hotel's own garden, and they'll happily work around your preferences.
Tribe Beach House, Kilifi can be booked with Timbuktu as part of a tailor-made Kenya trip, rather than as a standalone room reservation.
