Fodor's Expert Review Searenity Beach Villa

Nestled right by a postcard-ready beach in a neatly manicured green garden fringed by towering palm trees, this is one huge mansion with six en suite double rooms, a rooftop bar, and an intimate restaurant that sits just 35. The kitchen whips up a delicious mix of Kenyan, Indian, and seafood cuisine, reflecting the heritage of the owners and the property's idyllic setting. On the rooftop is the only seaside cinema in town, where you can hang out with friends and play movies or music videos projected onto a large blank wall. One of the executive suites has both a sunrise and sunset view, another has a jacuzzi overlooking the beach, while some of the other patios have hammock chairs that you can sink into while being lulled to sleep by the waves. The saltwater pool is only open to guests and there's a fire pit right on the beach, where you could get a bonfire going while relaxing with friends in the evening.
