Voyager

South Coast


From the soaring, makuti (thatched-roofed) reception to the three pools, cliff-top bar, and ship-shape, colour-coded rooms, this is Nyali's top beach resort. In keeping with the hotel's nautical theme, guests are referred to as passengers and, every day, Voyager 'sets sail' to a new destination (look for the the country's flag in reception), honoured by key dishes at the excellent restaurant.
