About Ras Kikadini House

Nestled amongst 12 acres of beautiful tropical gardens, Ras Kikadini is a unique, private beach house, originally built in the 60's and delightfully refurbished to retain its sense of retro style. Only 10 miles south of Mombasa on Kenya's southern coastline, this is an ideal spot to spend a quality beach holiday with a large group or family. Airy and spacious with panoramic windows designed to make the best of the beach view, you won't want to leave. Collect all your food supplies on the way from the airport and hand them over to your private chef when you arrive.

Highlights

Funky and full of personality, this private villa is ideal for those seeking something a little different from the traditional Kenyan banda.

A mere two minutes' walk right from an idyllic beach cove, with no crowds to go with it.

Whether you are in your room, in the gardens or on a sun lounger, the magnificent views over the coastline make this an ideal space for relaxation and rejuvenation.

The property

If there's one thing you've got at Ras Kikadini, it's space. The dining and living areas are large and airy, with en eclectic mix of custom-made and up-cycled furnishings, natural woods and local materials, an antique-wood dining table and a driftwood chandelier. Double-volume thatched ceilings and plenty of windows create an illuminated central space, and folding doors lead onto the gardens. The house is pet friendly, so Fido can come too.

The rooms

A total of 11 people can sleep in the funky and freshly designed rooms, 2 of which are en-suite. Each has its own distinct style, with large beds, retro furniture and modern fittings. The three downstairs rooms have French doors opening up onto the gardens and enticing views of the ocean, while the upstairs loft has billowing local materials draped in a cascading seascape of blues and greens: a little haven for two extra people or children.

Ras Kikadini is well-suited to the independent holidaymaker. Well off the beaten track, you'll need your own vehicle or a taxi if you wish to venture out.

Snorkelling

Get used to the fact that you have your very own small beach right on your doorstep. There are plenty of snorkels and masks to explore the rock pools, soak in the warm ocean, or simply laze on the sun loungers on the outside cliff top. Further afield, take a day trip to the waterfall at Shimba Hills National Park, go snorkelling at Kisitie Marine Park or experience the restaurants and ocean activities at popular Tiwi and Diani beach.
