Kuruwitu Beach, Vipingo is about 7 mins off the main Mombasa – Malindi tarmac road and here you will find quiet sandy beaches and the tidal reef that make Kuruwitu an ideal family holiday destination. Many of our holiday homes are traditional colonial-style beach houses, all of which are situated on first-row, beach front. Some of the homes on Kuruwitu are situated in indigenous coastal forest, which is home to numerous birds, monkeys and monitor lizards so it’s a nature lovers paradise.
The casual beach bungalows and double-story homes of Kuruwitu are all hidden away in lovely cool, shady gardens, which were established at least 30 years ago. Massive Baobab trees, some of which are said to be over 800 years old, are common on the beaches and in the gardens here. Visitors to Kuruwitu are able to access the Kuruwitu Conservation Area which the fishermen have agreed to set aside for fish and corals to regenerate so they do not fish in this area. The snorkeling here is amazing and is accessible directly from the beach so no need to travel in a boat to see the best corals and fish. This is a community initiative and all profits from snorkeling go back to the local fishermen.
With it’s close proximity to the PAG 18 hole golf course at Vipingo Ridge this is an ideal place to stay if you are looking for a beach-based holiday with the options of undertaking golf and other sporting activities. Visitors should try a lunch at the Beach Bar, a lovely spot that caters for all tastes with an emphasis on freshly produced sea-food.
