Dining at Swahili Beach is a vibrant journey through flavours—from Beach grills and seafood feasts to Indian-Swahili fusion and international buffets. Choose from multiple restaurants including aficionado favourites like a seafood teppanyaki venue and a beach bar with casual grills. Bars include a swim-up pool bar, a refined cocktail lounge and a beachside sundowner spot—all designed to enhance the tropical setting and relaxed mood of the resort.
Recreation
Whether you want to lounge or explore, Swahili Beach delivers. The seven-tier cascading spring-fed pool leads you to the beach; the on-site spa and fitness centre offer full wellness indulgence. Beyond that, you can snorkel, dive, take dhow cruises, kite-surf or visit Shimba Hills and other nearby natural attractions. The friendly service means you’re spoiled for choice yet free to move at your own pace.
