Kenya Beach Resort: Serena Beach Hotel

Serena Beach Hotel ~ Classic 4 Resort

Kenya Safaris

Serena Beach Hotel, located on the lovely Shanzu Beach on the North coast of Mombasa, shaded by towering palm trees and draped in bougainvillea, the Serena, a member of the Leading Hotels of the World, is a perfect romantic spot by the Indian Ocean. The resort combines indigenous Arabic/ Swahili design-style with a high standard of hospitality. The hotel's labyrinth of alleys, shady courtyards and flat-roofed Arabesque houses with hand carved doors have all been inspired by the famous 13th century Arab town of Lamu on the Northern coast of Kenya.

Serena's well-appointed rooms (some rooms are however on the small side) all have private balconies with vistas of the Indian Ocean or the courtyards. The hotel's array of restaurants and bars provide all types of cuisine, from International to classical to seafood. The Jahazi grill is the top spot to head for if you desire excellent seafood while admiring the Indian Ocean. The romantic Mashua Bar serves colorful cocktails while the pianist plays soulful tunes.
