Villa Fortuna Malindi

Top choice in Malindi


Drowning in a riot of bougainvillea, this makuti (thatched-roof of palm leaves) guesthouse overlooks a kidney-shaped pool in a secure, gated property. The warm welcome from the owners and their tiny dogs and cats is second to none. It's down an unlit dirt road from Marine Park Rd, so take a boda-boda (motorcycle taxi, KSh100) in the evenings.

It's a convenient 10-minute walk from the marine park and a 5-minute walk from the beach.
