About Samawati House

A villa on Kenya's South coast pressed against the shores of Msambweni Beach is a delightful way to spend your holidays. Built in 1985 and perched up on a slight cliff this Swahili styled house is surrounded by lush coconut palms, emulating all the creature comforts of a family home. You are going to be hard pressed not to find yourself completely giving in to lazy days with the family and friends lounging around the pool, playing on the beach or indulging in conversation surrounded by the spectacular beach sunsets and sweeping views of the Indian ocean
