Very Relaxing

Posted on 29th July.

Amazing place, wonderful, peaceful with fantastic staff and services.

Thanks for those very relaxing 2 days.



Indulgent and Idyllic

Posted on 25th July.

We stayed at Al Hamra for our first wedding anniversary in early July. July is supposed to be off season in Kenya, but the weather was beautiful – hot days with a light breeze and cooler nights.

We have been to some amazing places in Europe Asia and America but this surpasses anywhere we have stayed in terms of luxury and high end accommodation. Stunning interior design and decor, with a highly detailed finish. Each suite has an indoors-outdoors relaxation area nestled amongst the treetops. The infinity salt plunge pool and swimming pool are beautiful in the sunshine or at sunset when the lights come on.

There is an outstanding level of service and attention to small details from freshly washed and ironed laundry to hand picked flowers from housekeeping to pre-dinner drinks and afternoon tea.

The food is delicious. Everything is … Read More »



Wonderfully Considered

Posted on 21st July.

Al Hamra is one of the most beautiful homes I have ever visited in my life. It is exquisitely put together and each little touch is so wonderfully considered. The pool is amazing, and it looks so enticing from the moment you arrive. The bedrooms are luxurious without being ostentatious, and the décor feels as if it’s been plucked from the palaces of those traders which profited most from the Arabian spice routes hundreds of years ago.

The staff are friendly, attentive and the most smiley and welcoming people I’ve ever met.

I will go again as soon as my schedule allows me to



Simply Gorgeous

Posted on 15th July.


We had a lovely stay. Beautiful place, friendly staff, finger licking food. Simply gorgeous.

Thank you for taking care of us. It was exceptional.



Most Amazing House!

Posted on 9th July.

What an astonishing place, unfortunately the range of my vocabulary will not do this beautiful house justice, suffice to say it is the most amazing house I’ve ever stayed in, the architecture is superb and the interior has been furnished and designed quite perfectly. Coupled with the fact that it is situated on this fantastic white sandy beach,  I feel very lucky to have spent time here and also in the company of the owners of the property who went out of their way to make my stay even more memorable, thank you for ‘making things happen’.



Such Luxury

Posted on 26th June.

To Nigel and all the staff at Al Hamra, thank you for what was comfortably one of the best trips I’ve ever experienced. What an introduction to Kenya! Watamu is such a beautiful place and Al Hamra allows you to experience it in such luxury. I have to say I’m very fortunate to have been allowed to stay here and cannot thank Nigel enough for his generosity. Hopefully this won’t be my last encounter with Kenya as it’s quite easy to see why so many people fall in love with the place.



What A Trip!

Posted on 12th June.

3 weeks in Al Hamra- what a trip! There is no better way to stay in Watamu! Thank you so much to Nigel, Alberto and all the staff for making it so special. I hope I can return soon to continue the charity work we have started. One of the highlights must be watching a turtle relieve itself on Robbie’s shirt!

The Perfect Break

Posted on 18th October.

We feel very lucky to have been able to stay in such a wonderfully designed house.  The combination of open, airy luxury and the friendly, efficient staff has made this the perfect break.  Special mention must go to the fantastic food, every meal a triumph!

It is difficult to return to the ‘real’ world after this great week and we will be counting the days until a return.  Thank you all!


An Amazing House, an Amazing Spot

Posted on 10th October.

There really are not words to express what a wonderful spot this is.  An amazing house in an amazing spot.  The staff are all excellent and we have been made to feel very welcome and relaxed.  The whole experience is something we would want to repeat… Often.


Exceeds all Expectations

Posted on 5th October.

I thought the Dhow house was superb, but Al Hamra exceeds all my expectations.  Lesley Anne is truly inspirational with her attention and design and fine detail.

The staff have been most charming and very keen to please.  The pace of life for me was very relaxed, just what I needed.  I hope I get the opportunity to return before too long.  Thank you Lesley and Nigel for having a fantastic holiday destination.


What a Wonderful House

Posted on 5th September.

Dear Anna, James, Paul, Samson, Baya and Janice,
You have all been part of making our summer before heading off to Uni, perfect.  We are so lucky to have stayed in a wonderful house.

Anna has been ever so hospitable, lending us her kayak which had a lot of fun in but also taking us out to Savannah to the quiz-THAT WE WON!!  Thanks Anna!

To all the staff, you have catered to our every need and more and made us feel very welcome and safe. We are currently writing this lying by the pool with an endless glass of mango juice-we really thank you all.

Just a short note to thank the staff at Al Hamra for my lovely stay here in Watamu.  I have had a super time, and enjoyed wonderful service from all of you and were very attentive and always smiling.  The many interesting trips I embarked upon made my stay all the more enjoyable and confirmed my intention to return soon to sunny Kenya.
