All-Inclusive Resort on
Watamu's Most Stunning Beach

Beachfront all-inclusive escape inside the Watamu Marine National Park — dining, drinks and days out, all taken care of.

Days measured
by the tide

Sea-view rooms wrapped in tropical gardens, a pool that catches the afternoon sun, and dinners served to the sound of the ocean.

Safari by day,
sea breeze by night

From snorkelling the marine park at sunrise to watching elephants cross Tsavo by noon — Kenya's wildest contrasts, one address.

Inside the Watamu Marine National Park

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.

service satisfaction

Fifth time in Watamu, third time at Crystal Bay — every time it feels like coming home. The beach is breathtaking and the team remembers your name.

★★★★★
Marco B. Returning guest

A small haven of peace. Fresh grilled fish every day, smiling staff and evenings under the stars. We left already planning our next stay.

★★★★★
Claire & Antoine Honeymooners

Snorkelling at sunrise, elephants in Tsavo by lunch, a dhow at sunset. No other place gave us so much of Kenya in one week.
