The Kenyan Coast
On the shores of the Indian Ocean, at the edge of the ancient settlement of Malindi lies the Driftwood Beach Club, nestled into the Kenyan coast, with a charm all of its own.
Malindi Town is unique in that it offers, with a short tuk tuk ride from the Driftwood, the chance to wander the old town and to browse the local traditional shops for curiosities. Swahili spices and traditional materials, as well as handmade jewellery and sandals are popular gifts to take home.
The long serving and experienced team are on hand to offer some of the best food in Malindi and to arrange some of the many activities that are available from here. These include deep-sea fishing, scuba diving and snorkelling, windsurfing, kite-surfing and water ski-ing on Mida Creek and bird watching on the Sabaki Delta or in the Arabuko-Sokoke forest. For those who simply want to relax, there is 4 miles of white beach to walk, a small treatment room and plenty of space to find peace and quiet.
The hotel can accommodate just 70 guests in cottages and villas, which are constructed in the traditional coastal style and brought up to date with air conditioning and other modern amenities. All the accommodation has been designed to maximise privacy, whilst being close to the open-air bar and dining area and within just a few feet of the pool, private beach and the blue waters of the Indian Ocean.
