Mnarani Beach Club

Mnarani Beach Club is a laid-back beach resort in Kilifi with a classic coast feel, set above Kilifi Creek and the Indian Ocean.

Setting and views: The property’s standout is its water-facing position, with an infinity pool oriented toward the creek and ocean for long, breezy afternoons on the deck.

Swimming options: You get variety without leaving the grounds, including the main infinity pool, a separate garden pool, and access to a private, secluded beach that’s positioned away from busier tourist activity.

Rooms for different trips: Accommodation ranges from Garden Rooms and Pool Rooms to Creek View Rooms, suites, and even a larger Guest House for groups, making it easy to match the stay to your travel style.

Food and drink on-site: Dining is built around a restaurant plus two distinct hangouts—a Main Bar with open-plan lounge vibes and a Beach Bar right by the water—along with the option of beach-served dinners and a recurring beach BBQ night.

Spa time: Mbali Day Spa is set in the gardens and offers treatments such as massages, facials, nail services, and waxing for an easy “do-nothing” day between excursions.

Active extras: On the property you’ll find add-ons like padel courts, a gym, crazy golf, giant chess, volleyball, and walking trails, plus an on-site watersports partner for sailing and lessons.

Beach access trade-off: Because the beach is described as secluded and away from the bustle, guests who want a lively public-beach scene may find the atmosphere quieter than expected.

Getting around: While it’s on the Mombasa–Malindi Highway in Kilifi, many off-property plans may still require arranging transport rather than walking everywhere.
