5.A beach you will never forget

There is a reason Watamu beach features in so many top 10 lists of best beaches in the world. The natural beauty of the lagoon and beach in front of Shwari can only really be appreciated first hand. Being based just metres away from this beach allows guests at Shwari Watamu to take in the beauty at all times of the day.

From watching the golden sunrise over the calm lagoon, taking in the deep blues of the Indian Ocean at midday, to enjoying the refreshing afternoon monsoon breeze rustle the palm fronds. At night, the equatorial sky gives an amazing display of stars, and the gentle breaking of the waves on the reef is the perfect soundtrack to drift off to sleep after another day in paradise.
