About this property

Nestled among coral reefs and tropical gardens, Shimoni offers charming accommodations in cottage suites with thatched roofs. It offers chances for dolphin-spotting and experience first-hand protected wildlife. With views of the Wasini Channel, Cottages at Shimoni Reef Lodge are set around a pool surrounded by tamarind and baobab trees. The open-plan area includes a lounge and an outdoor deck, while private bathrooms are standard. Guests can enjoy a series of activities, including diving and snorkeling, traditional sailing trips on Kenyan dhows, a Shimba Hills day trip, and a Wasini Island exploration tour. Shimoni Lodge is part of a Swahili fishing community and its restaurant benefits from fresh catch, local produce and exotic spices. We offer different meal plans, and our kitchen hours are flexible to accommodate your daily activities.
