The Re-launch Of The Hemingways Watamu in January 2018

Nov 04, 2017

After a multi-million dollar transformation, the Hemingways Collection has announced the re-launch of the Hemingways Watamu in January 2018.  This refurbishment will secure the hotel’s position as one of a kind property in the country.

Over the years the Hotel has had a stellar reputation with guests who have made the hotel their ideal holiday destination year-in year-out. Now with the added touch of African flare, the glamorous hotel is ready to open its doors to its guests.

The new look maximizes the hotel’s idyllic setting at the heart of the Watamu Marine National Park – home to turtles, barracuda, whale shark and wonderful coral reefs.

The re-designed Hemingways Watamu will re-open with 39 bedrooms – including 13 brand-new deluxe ocean view rooms – and 21 Residences, offering one-, two- or four-bedroom apartments that will be available for purchase and as part of the hotel inventory.

The project has been led by South African firm DSA, while the result will be simple, clean and elegant.

Interiors will be characterised by plantation shutters, diaphanous-draped four-poster beds, and a laid-back modern coastal vibe.

Colours of the sea and sand come together with touches of driftwood and local materials.

Rooms will be spacious inside and out; every room and apartment will have a private balcony with an ocean view.

A new botanical swimming pool alongside the spa and modern gym will transform relaxation for guests on the Kenyan coast.

Treatments by Terres d’Afrique, an African skincare company that takes inspiration from the traditional uses of African plants, will help guests to fully relax into the Watamu pace of life.
