Watamu Treehouse 

The Watamu Treehouse is on one of the most picturesque stretches of Watamu beach. Ideally, located right opposite the Coral Gardens of the Marine Park. There are no large hotels nearby, only private residences. Built high in the trees, its unique architecture affords a 360-degree panorama of the Indian Ocean coastline.

Watamu Treehouse has seven bedrooms, all of which are ensuite. Also, there are several other beds and sleeping areas. Moreover, you can sleep up to about 20 in the two towers. There is everything you need here for a wonderful holiday. Just bring yourselves and your toys. Daily deliveries of fresh seafood and produce and anything from the local supermarket can be arranged. The kitchen is has a fridge, cooker, oven, and deep-freezer, plus a good range of utensils and cookware. As this is also a family home, you will find high-quality crockery, cutlery, and glassware in the cupboards and fine bedlinen, mosquito netting, and towels. Note: Please bring your bathroom consumables, as they are not provided with the house rental. The Watamu Treehouse consists of two towers in the trees, linked by bridges, stairways, and ramps. Most of the building is above the beautiful coastal forest – for the stunning views and the cooling breeze and to avoid unnecessary damage to the natural environment. The house has no windows – frames around vistas of nature in all its glory. You share the forest with the birds, insects, small mammals, reptiles, and primates.

The forest boasts many indigenous trees common to the coastal strip, including beautiful baobabs and many examples of the remarkable Bamba-Kofi. Both living and sleeping areas are just above the forest canopy, open to the cooling coastal breezes and scintillating views. You sleep breathing the forest’s fresh air and awaken to the early morning calls of the wildlife – especially birds and sykes monkeys! The views from the house are stunning. Unusually for the East Coast of Africa, Watamu Treehouse offers a complete 360-degree horizon, affording sensational views of sunsets over forests, coconut plantations, and Mida Creek, as well as sunrises and moonrises over the Indian Ocean… You have a choice of several verandas and a sublime rooftop space, all designed to accommodate both communal activities and private retreats from which to contemplate the beauty of the surroundings.
