The
Travellers Beach Hotel is a well-appointed 4 star
coastal hotel, set on 6.5 acres of beachfront
property on the North Coast of Mombasa, Kenya. The
resort is close to both Moi and Mombasa Airports and
easily reached by road.
The first thing we saw as we approached the hotel
was the freeform and terraced swimming pool that
runs from the entrance right through to the lounge,
opposite the beachfront. This is one of four pools
that form the main features of the hotel, winding
scenically between the main buildings and the
well-kempt gardens.
The hotel is family-owned and opened its doors back
in 1987. Since then it has grown to become one of
Kenya’s premier hotels. Guests at Travellers have
direct access to the immaculate sandy beach, only a
few metres away. A great way to enjoy the cool
waters is by hiring a boat and going on one of the
custom deep sea game fishing trips. Kenya is known
for its billfish, especially the Sailfish and of
course the three varieties of Marlin (Black, Blue
and Striped). Other prize catches include Wahoo,
YellowfinTuna, Dorado, vast varieties of shark as
well as the elusive Shortbill Spearfish. They have a
policy of tag and release (only on billfish) but
will let you keep any trophy fish you manage to
hook.
The area is also great for scuba diving, with a
barrier coral reef approximately a kilometre
off-shore. If you’re interested but inexperienced,
the hotel’s team of qualified diving instructors
offer a solution. They’ll start you off in the
diving pool and take you out into the ocean when
you’re ready.
The hotel has 4 restaurants to choose from, with
meal styles ranging from Indian, Italian, seafood
and game. They also have 5 bars, 2 of which are
situated by the poolside (now you never have to
leave the cooling waters) and an underground night
club called the Show Boat - where live bands, local
entertainers, cabaret stars, traditional dancers and
acrobats entertain guests into the small hours of
the night.
The hotel also offers tons of sports including
tennis, windsurfing, snorkelling, squash as well as
a fully equipped gym complete with sauna, Jacuzzi
and massage parlour. And if you prefer to do as
little as possible, their free-to-use sunloungers,
towels and umbrellas will make your retreat from
life’s distractions even more comfortable.
Travellers Beach Hotel is a really laid-back,
relaxed resort with a good balance of activities and
relaxation options. You’re sure to leave this place
with charged batteries and great holiday memories.
