Mombasa Serena Beach Hotel

Mombasa itself is actually an island although a bridge has now been completed from the mainland and you no longer need to take a ferry. This is an old trading harbor where merchandise is still being brought to the Mombasa bazaars by dhows (multipurpose boat). The Mombasa Serena Beach Hotel offers consummate standards of accommodations, service, cuisine and amenities. With the shimmering sands and waters of the Indian Ocean stretching before it, set amidst verdant, bougainvillea-filled gardens, and shaded by gently swaying palm trees, this place represents the ultimate escape. The resort subtly integrates indigenous design and materials with the highest standards of modern hospitality. In spirit and style it is inspired by the legendary 13th-century Swahili town of Lamu - flat-roofed Arabesque houses with distinctive hand-and enhanced with native art and furniture. The hotel has 166 air-conditioned rooms with en suite facilities, a swimming pool, tennis, scuba diving and other water sports. Extensive recreational and water sports opportunities, with professional instruction available, are complimentary for guests.
