Coconut
Village is a picturesque vacation resort set on a
stretch of Silversands beach in Malindi, Kenya. It
is within 5 minutes drive from the town of Malindi
and easily accessible by car. The resort is known
for its beautiful white beaches and tranquil azure
seas.
Coconut village forms part of a trio of hotels that
make for a well equipped resort with 5 swimming
pools, 3 bars, 2 restaurants and great
entertainment. Its sister hotels, Tropical Village
(70m away) and Malindi Beach (50m away) have their
own unique look and flavour, and offer excellent
alternatives to Coconut Villages own great
facilities. The Tropical Village restaurant for one,
offers great food and delicious desserts.
The five freeform swimming pools are large and
beautifully maintained, offering a welcome solace
from the hot Kenyan sun. All the pools and the
beachfront have sun loungers, parasols and towels
for guests to use, free of charge ensuring your
every comfort.
The resort offers tons of activities during the days
and the nights, ranging from animation activities
such as watergym, aerobics, stretching and ocean
walking; live entertainment, snorkelling excursions,
deep sea fishing and archery during the daytime, to
clubbing and sipping cocktails at night (the resort
has its own disco bar).
The property is surrounded by beautiful tropical
gardens and great big palm trees. The fusion of
international influences is visible in the
architecture and dιcor of the rooms where Lamu,
Swahili and Arab influences give a true feeling of
paradise, while creating a welcoming atmosphere.
Avid anglers will love this place for its great game
fishing. The area is known for its billfish and
boasts the highest concentration of the prized
sailfish in the world. Other trophies include Marlin
(Blue, Black and Striped), Tuna, Dorado and Wahoo,
as well as a great variety of shark. Six
well-equipped boats are available to take you out
onto the deep waters for a great day of fishing.
The area surrounding Coconut Village and its sisters
has quite a bit of history and culture to offer the
discerning tourist. Popular sights include the Vasco
Da Gama Pillar, the Portuguese Chapel and the
mysterious Gede Ruins a twelfth century Swahili
village that was inexplicably deserted 600 years ago
without any indication of a cause. The ruins share
a site with the Kipepeo Butterfly Project an
innovative community upliftment programme that
teaches the local people to breed the unique
butterflies of the Arabuko-Sokoke forest. These
specimens are sent to live butterfly displays around
the world and bring in quite a bit of money.
Coconut beach is a fabulous hotel with great
activities for the active and adventurous, as well
as beautiful beaches and swimming pools where you
can lounge around, doing as little as possible. We
simply loved this place for its pretty surrounds and
good service. Highly recommended!

with our room with its very personal with typical Lamu
dιcor and a beautiful queen size canopy bed, draped with
mosquito nets (very Arabian Nights). The hotel has 45
rooms of which 12 have sea views and the remainder pool
and garden views. Eight of the rooms are interleading and
therefore ideal for families.
