Sofia House - Beach Paradise with Kite, Dive and more

Set along Turtle Bay Road in Watamu, Sofia House places guests within easy reach of one of Kenya's most protected marine ecosystems — the Watamu Marine National Park reef system begins just offshore.

The property caters to active travellers, with kitesurfing and diving among the headline activities on offer. Turtle Bay's shallow, wind-channelled waters make it one of East Africa's more consistent kite spots, while the coral gardens draw both beginner and experienced divers.

Watamu sits 105 kilometres north of Mombasa, a quieter alternative to the busier Diani Beach strip to the south. The village centre and its open-air seafood spots are a short walk from Turtle Bay Road.
