Facilities

Peponi's bar is not only open to the hotel guests, but locals and other holiday-goers as well, making every visit a fun, social affair. Try out the house cocktails, enjoy a cold beer, or have a fresh fruit juice at the end of a hot day.

The Peponi Gardens boasts one of the largest and most varied collections of tropical palms and exotic plants on the Kenyan coast. Relax in the hammocks beneath the coconut trees or cool off with a dip in the swimming pool as you indulge in this piece of paradise.

Dining

The great advantage of staying in such a small hotel is that you can enjoy your meals almost anywhere. Sit in the dining area, outside beneath the bougainvillea with your feet in the sand, beside the swimming pool or even in the privacy of your own room.

Tuck into delicious fresh seafood and sushi or delight your taste buds with traditional Swahili dishes. Even though the recommended dishes are seafood-based, you can also indulge in a range of international menu items.

Superior Room

No two rooms are the same at Peponi as each of the 24 rooms are individually decorated, creating a truly personal experience. Rooms are divided into Standard and Superior and boast traditional Swahili furnishings.

The Superior Rooms offer complete luxury and service as the hotel has only five of these. Located to enjoy uninterrupted views of the ocean and with added space, these rooms also boast their own private veranda with a swing bed on which you can relax with a book or gaze out over the water.
