Watamu Tree House

White combines with blues and greens in the two towers that rise above the forest canopy on either side of a beautiful free form swimming pool. Stairways spiral up the outer walls, leading into the cosy living areas and relaxation decks on each level. North Tower has a fully equipped kitchen, a comfortable shared living area, and a fabulous rooftop lounge and yoga studio. South Tower's star attraction is its ground-to-top-floor wall of shimmering turquoise and emerald glass.

North Tower has three double en-suite bedrooms, each a private balcony, and a romantic star bed up on the rooftop terrace. South Tower has four double rooms with plenty of space for an extra bed, en-suite bathrooms, private dining areas, and balconies overlooking the forest and ocean. Each room has an entirely unique design, with flowing curved walls inlaid with glass mosaics, quirky hand-made wooden furniture, and dreamy ocean-inspired tones creating a tranquil feel high above the forest canopy.

The hotel overlooks an endless stretch of golden sand, perfect for long walks, with untouched snorkelling and swimming spots along the way. Take a romantic sunset cruise on an Arab dhow, and visit nearby Watamu village to watch a traditional dance display. Kite-surfing, canoeing, scuba diving and deep-sea fishing can be arranged at the larger resorts further along the beach, or you could simply relax beside the pool after a rooftop yoga session with an expert trainer.
