The Most Romantic Honeymoon Resorts In Kenya

Here are some of the most breathtakingly romantic honeymoon resorts in Kenya to visit with your significant other.

1. The Sanctuary at Ol Lentille

Resort

This lodge tops our list because of its spectacular views, privacy and romantic setting. It offers walking safaris, which are done by Maasai and Samburu Morans, as opposed to the standard car safaris. The panoramic views from the rooms encompass the valleys, showcasing mountains and hills in the background.

2. Hemmingway Watamu

Boutique Hotel

Situated in Watamu, this hotel is located in the middle of the Watamu Marine Park and is surrounded by endless white beaches and clear turquoise water. You can enjoy a romantic sunset dhow cruise, kite surf or go on a safari at the Tsavo national park. The rooms have a view of the marine park and have easy access to the beach.

3. The Charming Lonno Lodge

Boutique Hotel, Lodge

Just as the name suggests, this is a charming lodge in Watamu that offers unobstructed views of the sea and simple coastal hospitality. The choice of rooms comes down to whether you want to stay in the tower rooms or the historical rooms. With the tower rooms, you will have the opportunity to enjoy the sea breeze from an elevated point while the historical rooms are indulgent, boasting plenty of space.

5. The Bedelle

Hotel

If you want to enjoy the capital city of Nairobi to start off your honeymoon, The Bedelle, located in the leafy suburb of Runda, is the perfect place to set the tone. From the grand structure and furnishings to the cosy atmosphere that is deliberately set to ensure you feel at home, this hotel is a haven of privacy and luxury. The rooms range from superior to deluxe to super deluxe to the presidential suite.

6. House of Waine

Boutique Hotel, Spa Hotel

House of Waine has 11 rooms, all individually decorated and named, giving them character and style. It is close enough to main attractions—like the Giraffe Manor and the Karen Blixen museum, as well as the David Sheldrick Elephant Trust—but still maintains your privacy once you are back at the hotel. It has magnificent service and allows a glimpse into the Kenyan culture of hospitality.
