Stretching along Shanzu Beach, the Serena Beach Hotel & Spa is styled to resemble the legendary 13th century Swahili town of Lamu with winding lanes, carved balconies, fountain courtyards and bustling market squares.

Overlooking the waters of the Mombasa National Marine Park, the Serena Beach Hotel & Spa is ideally located for diving and snorkelling excursions- perfect for exploring the underwater world.

The range of land sports is just as extensive, with floodlit tennis courts, air-conditioned squash courts, a fully equipped gymnasium with instructor, nature trails with the resident naturalist and a nearby golf course to keep you busy.

Excursions can be arranged at an extra charge to various destinations or any of the nearby game reserves and national parks. You could also just laze by the pool, enjoying the sun while looking out over the aquamarine waters of the Indian Ocean.

The resort integrates indigenous design and materials with high standards of service. The interior decor makes extensive use of local art, crafts and furniture while the peaceful gardens are filled with bougainvillea and shaded by palm trees.

Evening entertainment features floorshows, dancing at the discotheque or a live band, as well as themed Swahili evenings.
