Serena Beach Resort and Spa

Fringed by white beaches and shaded by coconut palms, the silver ribbon of the Swahili coastline offers the ultimate tropical paradise.

Bright white against the blue sky, set in extensive tropical gardens, the architecture of the Serena Beach Resort and Spa replicates the winding lanes and colourful market places of a traditional 13th-century Swahili town.

The resort is situated on Shanzu Beach, 30 kilometres from Mombasa, and accommodated guests in our tastefully appointed rooms each featuring a Maasai-inspired theme.

Serena Beach Resort and Spa offers a number of dining experiences and a selection of bars, coffee shops and café areas, both inside and out. Choose from the central Fountain Restaurant, the charming Jahazi Grill seafood restaurant, the central Sokoni Terrace brasserie and a wide choice of inside and outside bars.

Enchanting and fascinating, the Swahili coast is a place of waving palms, white-walled mosques, black-veiled women, and fleets of dhows which harness the trade winds as they have done for centuries past.

The unique Swahili culture, which is a colourful fusion of Arab, African and Portuguese influences, has created a pace of life, a style of cuisine and a mosaic of architecture, heritage, myth and magic that is found nowhere else in the world.
