GUIDE FOR BEACH HONEYMOON IN KENYA WITH AFRICANMECCA

Your honeymoon is a time to celebrate your new life together. As the future begins to unfold before you, time spent together means affectionate conversations about what you plan to build together. A honeymoon should embrace you with peace and solitude to allow for the celebration of intimacy, romance and the divine love you share.

A tranquil, relaxing honeymoon beach experience gives you the perfect setting for this and more. But as you consider the seasides around Kenya, you may wish to avoid large crowds and everyday bustling hotel activities. You long for privacy, and a beach honeymooning experience in Kenya with AfricanMecca will give you the quiet sense of two souls spending time alone in a beautiful coastal paradise such as Funzi Island in the South Coast of Mombasa to Lamu Island.



Set along the turquoise, azure and deep blue waters of the Indian Ocean, the Kenya coastline is one of the few places on Earth where you find long stretches of pristine white sand beaches alongside spectacular snorkeling and diving experiences in varied marine parks like Kisite and Watamu which further augments with terrestrial Kenyan lands teeming with wildlife.

On the seashore, the tepid East African water laps against the shoreline to create a rhythm that matches the beating of your hearts. The surface glitters with the brilliant colors of the sunset and sunrise, evoking a true tender connection to the land. Together, you watch the showcase of nature that binds you to each other, in both memories and emotions.



Planning a beach honeymoon trip to Africa requires a great deal of knowledgeable guidance on hotels and local seaside destination insight. At AfricanMecca, we take pride in sharing our homeland with new couples who are beginning their journeys together. With a multitude of accommodations available on the Kenya coast, we know exactly which offer the romance, seclusion and utmost privacy that are desired by our astute newlywed guests. We arrange every detail to deliver a perfect celebratory nuptial beach tour of Kenya, both her coastal areas and inland wilderness.



Whether you wish to spend your time exclusively on the mainland beaches in Galu, Diani Msambweni or a remote island with the option of mixing in a bit of honeymoon bush safari thrills and excitement in Masai Mara, Tsavo, Amboseli, Samburu, Laikipia, Lake Nakuru and Naivasha, AfricanMecca is your expert for a superlative honeymooning experience in Kenya that fits any budget and personal travel style.

For our newlywed couples, we recommend smaller accommodations with fewer guests. Some of these accommodations are hosted by married couples like you so you can appreciate, learn and share your stories of courtship, love, matrimony and family. We can arrange a schedule that is as leisurely or active as you desire, including day trips to local historical and cultural areas, village visits, seaside walking and so much more.



With such a gorgeous ocean at your doorstep, you may also wish to partake in water activities, such as fishing, sailing, diving, snorkeling, whale watching, jet-skiing, kitesurfing and more. Speak to your AfricanMecca Safaris representative today and share with us your ideal island honeymooners dream. We will give you all that you desire and more!

Recommended Kenya Beach Honeymoon Destinations And Accommodations

The Kenya coastline offers an array of romantic accommodations and locations that far exceed your expectations for your honeymoon beach experience with AfricanMecca. To give you a sample of what to expect from your starry-eyed seaside vacation in Kenya made just for two, we provide an overview of some of the intimate beach destinations and accommodations in the country.

Mombasa Honeymoon

Located in the south of Mombasa Island is the secluded honeymoon beach destination of Funzi, an island that is surrounded by the Indian Ocean. Here you find 17 cottages at Funzi Keys that reflect a casual, relaxed coastal lifestyle that is complemented with personalized service. As a new couple, you may wish to stay in one of the nine beachfront cottages to be awakened with the sounds of gentle waves lapping at the sand. Eight seaview cottages offer great views of the ocean yet are not sited so close to the water and are smaller in size. The deciding factor, though, may be the Jacuzzi in the beachfront cottages and the larger space of your dwelling.



For the utmost luxury of a boutique accommodation, AfricanMecca recommends Alfajiri Villas. The three guest villas are located on Mombasa’s Diani Beach, so you have easy access to your desired activities during the day alongside relaxation and a supreme setting for romance and affection at night. All of the villas feature traditional African and Swahili elements that surround you with the cultures of Kenya alongside décor from the Far East.

For your East African honeymoon travel on the Kenyan coastline, choose from Cliff Villa perched atop a coral formation, Garden Villa nestled within lush gardens and Beach Villa that is only steps from the water. We also recommend Tijara Beach for honeymooners. It only has four rooms with a maximum of eight guests thus affording a fine bosom experience. Other romantic accommodations are AfroChic Diani, Almanara Luxury Villas, Kinondo Kwetu, Msambweni Beach House and Maji Beach Boutique Hotel.

Lamu Honeymoon

The archipelago of Lamu offers a beautiful island destination for couples, and we recommend Manda Bay and Majlis Resort to make your Indian Ocean honeymoon in Kenya memorable. Manda Bay features only 16 cottages that are well-placed for privacy. Imagine feeling like the two of you are deserted on a tropical island alone! The beachfront setting is brought indoors with exquisite coastal colors and design elements. AfricanMecca honeymooners have a choice of Beach Front Cottages that are sites closest to the shoreline, Sea View Cottage and Garden Cottages, best suited for families, and where birds awaken you with melodies amidst native flora.



Majlis Resort is also sited on Manda Island within the Lamu archipelago. The resort is built from natural timbers and coral to reflect the traditional building methods of the Swahili people of Lamu. Majlis houses 25 suites and rooms in three villas, so you have ample choice to meet your personal preferences. Choose from the Superior Room, Deluxe Room, Family Suite, Junior Suite and Royal Suite. The Red Pepper House offers a superb bespoke beach house experience in Lamu alongside Kizingoni Beach Houses. A modest honeymoon castaway experience is best experienced at Kizingo or Kipungani while Peponi Hotel is the finest option in Shela Village for a Swahili cultural honeymoon ambience.

Malindi Honeymoon

Malindi is yet another of Kenya’s brilliant coastal honeymoon destinations, and Lion In The Sun is an elegant setting that evokes romance and intimacy. The resort offers all the amenities you need, but with only 16 rooms, you are sure to enjoy peace, seclusion and tranquility. The architecture is the centerpiece of the resort, featuring influences from Indian, Arab and African cultures. Although selective, the furnishings are subtly exquisite. The deep rich wood contrasts with softer tones that are augmented with design details that are distinctively stunning. From your room, you have easy access to the swimming pool and garden.



Lion In The Sun also offers larger suites with separate sleeping area for snuggling and sitting area for those loving and kind conversations upon which your marriage is to be built. Spend your days in the spa or venture out for an adventurous safari to Masai Mara or Tsavo for a couple of days before returning back to the resort.

As evening sets in, Lion In The Sun becomes a truly relaxing and cozy place to enjoy a wonderful rum while watching the sunset. Note that Lion In The Sun is not sited directly on the beach but there is an accessible seaside at Billionaire Resort, which they also own, only minutes from the hotel. If you prefer a deluxe beachfront resort for your honeymoon in Malindi, AfricanMecca recommends Ocean Beach Resort and Spa and Diamonds Dream of Africa.

Watamu Honeymoon

Immerse yourself in the local culture during your Kenya seashore honeymoon! Located in Watamu, Medina Palms offers 50 rooms that are delightfully decorated with Swahili and Moroccan influences. Watamu is an idyllic beach destination where the white sand is gracefully touched by ocean water. Tall palm trees gently sway in coastal breezes to create a paradisiacal experience. Take the hand of your lover softly into yours and romantically wander the stretches of sand in the early morning light. Your joyous laughter and soft words of devotion drift upon the air like a feather.



The holiday highlight of your honeymoon at Medina Palms is having a private space for the newlywed bride and groom. Choose from Medina Suite with garden access, Medina Deluxe Suite, Medina Penthouse or Medina Ocean Lodge. For an intimate, smaller honeymoon lodging option in Watamu, AfricanMecca recommends the eight-room Lonno Lodge.
