Your 2022 Complete Destination Guide to Watamu

‘Watamu tamu’ is a relaxed and laid-back town popularly known for its top beach destination.

 ‘Tamu’ means ‘delicious’ in Swahili, so Watmu loosely translates to the ‘sweet spot’ with sweet people, and for good reasons.

Watamu prides itself on some unmatched tranquility with a dash of adventure, full of Swahili culture and world-class hospitality.

The fine white sandy beaches and beautiful palm trees make Watamu a haven that we’d recommend for a family Christmas vacation in 2022.
