Crystal Bay Resort sits directly on Watamu Beach, in the heart of one of the world's most protected and beautiful bays. Sea- and garden-view rooms open onto tropical gardens, a sun-soaked pool and the reef beyond.
Our team has welcomed guests to this shore for over two decades — many return year after year, and we like to think it's because Crystal Bay feels less like a hotel and more like coming home.
About us
From the reef on our doorstep to the fairway down the road, Crystal Bay brings the best of the Watamu coast together in one place.
Our reservations team is available every day on Jacaranda Road, Watamu. Tell us your dates and dreams — sea view, dhow charter, safari day — and we'll arrange the rest before you land at Malindi Airport.
