About the Resort
Mnarani Club resort is situated on the
cliffs of Kilifi overlooking the Indian Ocean and Kilifi Creek.
The design
is appealing and the main building and rooms well positioned in the landscaped
gardens to allow for every opportunity to enjoy the fantastic views.
The communal areas of the main building are designed for comfort and relaxation.
Meals are served in the dining area of the open-plan main building and from here
you look out over the swimming pool to the creek and ocean beyond. Armchairs
and inviting couches are arranged in different sections of the lounge areas on
the veranda and provide the perfect venue for a get together with friends, a
romantic sundowner or an irresistible corner to curl up in with a book. |
The
main bar forms part of the open-plan main veranda and
serves a variety of house wines, beer, spirits, soft
drinks and fabulous island-style cocktails. Paths
through the grounds lead you down stairs onto the white
sandy beach of the resorts private cove. This gorgeous
little beach has every facility for watersports or for simply enjoying a swim or relaxing
on a lounger under the thatched parasols. |
The beach bar is a fabulous
place to relax and enjoy good company, a little music and the wonderful
island vibe of Mnarani.
The service at the resort is outstanding. Nothing is too much trouble
and the staff ensure that your every need is met and every comfort
catered for. The inherent warmth and generosity of the local people
adds a personal touch to the overall appeal of the resort, which
is very special. |

Something magical happens when you arrive at Mnarani. It’s
as if your feet don’t step to quite the same beat as before
and you feel a whole new rhythm in your hips.
There is an unmistakable
energy of life, an African essence that, combined with the warmth
of the people and the sheer beauty of this amazing place, make
for an unforgettable experience. Mnarani at night is a delightful
place to arrive… Looking around, it seems that the stars
could not be brighter, the moon any more incandescent – time
seems to stand still and the quite peace of this beautiful place
settles instantly into your heart.
“Jambo” is the Swahili greeting that welcomes you
warmly and the generous and sincere hospitality of the staff makes
you feel instantly at home.
Colourful lanterns sparkle and shine where they hang, suspended
from wooden beams under the vast open-plan thatched roof of the
main building. Despite the spaciousness, which encompasses the
main dining area, bar and lounge, this veranda-style area has an
unobtrusive intimacy
and glorious ambiance.
Your eyes move out over the unbelievable blue of what is, undoubtedly,
the most inviting swimming pool you’ve ever seen and find
little lights - fishing boats - on the dark horizon where the night
sky meets the ocean. Suddenly your sense of smell kicks in and
the balmy ocean breeze washes over you with its delicious salty
promise. Each evening reveals a different pace, always in place, always
enjoyable. Experience the pulse-quickening energy of the songs
and traditional dances of the Maasai. The intricate vocal rhythm
of their music is mesmerising and almost as astounding as their
uncanny jumping abilities.
Live bands provide excellent entertainment and a great opportunity
to really get a feel for your new-found Kenyan rhythm.

The meals are sumptuous buffets, with an irresistible spread of
tantalising dishes to suite every taste. Lingering over a well-prepared
meal in the dining area on the veranda, recalling the activities
and sights of the day… this is the time and space where
memories are made…
The stunning freeform swimming pool commands your attention and beckons you in
to enjoy the sparkling turquoise blue waters as they meet the horizon and merge
with the azure hues of the Indian Ocean beyond.
Walking onto the soft white sand of Mnarani’s beach, you feel exhilarated
as you take in the sights – Arabic dhows sail gently by with the sea
breeze whispering in their sails, the warm ocean waters invite you
in and local fisherman tend to their lines in the colourful creek below the
tropical green cliffs of Kilifi.
Comfort and uncluttered,
simple style makes for excellent accommodation and the sweetest dreams.
The rooms are delightful and moving into this deliciously cool space
and the romance of soft, white mosquito netting, reaffirms your pleasure
at being here. The immaculately smooth and gleaming hardwood floors
beckon bare feet and the simplicity and comforts of the spacious en
suite bathroom reiterates your feeling of well-being.
Daylight heralds an array of new
delights as you step out onto your private terrace and absorb the glorious
vistas of ocean, sky and exotic tropical green. Perfect blues, perfect
greens. Giant Frangipani trees, adorned with exquisite white and pink-edged
flowers, perfume the air with their, soft sweet scent as you wonder
the paths through the landscaped gardens and gain a perspective of Mnarani’s
magnificent surroundings and breathtaking views. The gardens are inviting
and beautifully maintained. Magnificent old trees add their own strength
and beauty and the resident troop of monkeys will delight you with
their circus antics and expressive faces. |
