Beachfront boutique hotel with private beach area and suites offering private pools

Beachfront & Private Beach

Villa Thamburu sits directly on a private beach area reserved exclusively for guests, with the sand just steps from the property. The hotel provides outdoor swimming pool with pool views and sun loungers or beach chairs placed on both the pool deck and the beach. Guests can watch sunsets from beanbag chairs placed on the sand each evening, a complimentary service organized by the staff.

The hotel operates two restaurants serving local, Asian, and international cuisine, with halal, vegetarian, and gluten-free options clearly marked. Breakfast includes a choice of continental, American, or full English/Irish selections, prepared fresh each morning.
