"The sea at Mombasa is
as blue as a cornflower, and, outside the inlet to the harbour, the long
breakers of the Indian Ocean draw a thin crooked white line, and give
out a low thunder even in the calmest weather. " (Karen Blixen, Out of
Africa)
The Mombasa
Serena Beach Hotel styled to
resemble a 13th century Swahili town complete with winding lanes, carved
balconies, fountain courts and bustling market squares, the Serena Beach
Hotel provides an oasis of tranquillity whilst delivering a unique mix
of high-action water sports, sybaritic sun worship, world-class cuisine
and vibrant nightlife.
Set
back from the powder-white sands and shimmering waters of the Mombasa
National Marine Park, the hotel décor blends the time-honoured intricacy
of Swahili carving with the jewelled glow of Arabian lanterns, the
white-gleaming splendour of a Sultan’s palace and the lotus-cool of a
Persian water garden. The extensive coconut-palm cooled grounds offer an
exotic mix of tropical trees and bright blossoms and centre on an
idyllic sky-blue swimming pool with a thatched ‘swim-up’ bar and crystal
waters that cascade into the tiled coolness of the market square below.
