Named "Kusini," meaning "south" in Kiswahili, the villa harmonises with the southerly Kusi winds that blow for half the year, creating an ideal tropical retreat. This expansive property blends traditional African craftsmanship with modern luxury, making it a perfect holiday destination. With its stylish outdoor spaces, spacious interiors, and unrivalled location, Kusini House promises a relaxing and memorable stay.
The villa features light, spacious living areas where graceful curves and thoughtful design elements enhance the open, airy feel. The first-floor sitting room offers a peaceful retreat, while the villa benefits from natural cooling through a traditional wind tunnel, ensuring constant airflow. The six bedrooms, each with air conditioning and mosquito nets, provide privacy and comfort. The master suite, located on the second floor, includes an adjoining children’s room, while additional bedrooms on the first and second floors offer stunning views of the sea or the Mida Creek forest.
Bedroom 2: Located adjacent to the master suite, this room is ideal for children and shares the en suite bathroom with the master bedroom.
Please note all bedrooms have mosquito nets.
The large terrace and pool area, complemented by shaded baraza seating, create an ideal setting for socialising and enjoying the views. The villa’s magnificent dining area, featuring a grand round table, is perfect for leisurely lunches prepared by the in-house chef. For a change of scenery, guests can enjoy breakfast on the second-floor coral-tiled terrace, complete with a beautifully crafted coconut wood table. Meandering garden paths lead through endemic bushland, offering a peaceful stroll to the cliff’s edge, where a stairway descends to a secluded beach with coral formations and tidal pools for exploration. The roof terrace provides stunning sunset views, perfect for evening sundowners while watching dhows glide across the Mida Channel.
Watamu is a unique blend of traditional and cosmopolitan influences, where visitors can experience the local Giriama culture, meet friendly locals, and enjoy a relaxed pace of life. The villa is a short walk from Lichthaus, a great spot for sundowners, and conveniently close to yoga classes and an open gym. While the area maintains its slow-paced charm, it also offers a vibrant mix of rustic restaurants, bars, and nightlife. The beach and oceanfront activities are right on your doorstep, and the surrounding area is perfect for exploration on foot, by motorbike, or tuk-tuk.
