Nyali Beach Hotel was the very first of Kenya's beach hotels and so was able to have the pick of locations. It soon gained a reputation for hospitality and excellence which endures to this day.

Set amid 20 acres of flamboyant tropical gardens, the hotel has been extensively refurbished and modernized while still retaining its period charm.

The main building has spacious older rooms while the Garden Wing rooms are more modern and wind through the tropical Five restaurants that suit all tastes and appetites.

The cuisine varies from the gourmet offerings of the beachside Mvita Grill to lighter meals and snacks at Parrot's beach bar.

Breakfast and table d'hote lunch and dinner are served in L'Orangerie, while pizza, pasta and ice cream are on tap all day
