The Tamarind Village Beach Resort
The tamarind village in Nyali Mombasa is a beautiful and a Mombasa luxury condominium complex which looks over the harbor towards the Old Town of Mombasa. It shares a drive way with the Tamarind restaurant, justly famous for its wonderful seafood and setting.
The Tamarind village has 22 privately owned apartments. About half of these can be booked through central management. There are one, two and three bedroom apartments, each with a private entrance, enchanting views, and outdoor terraces. The apartments are serviced and have fully equipped kitchens.
As well as the option for self catering, the Lido bar near the pool serves breakfasts and light lunch dishes. Room service to the apartments can also be arranged. And, of course, you can always splurge next door at the Mombasa Kenya Tamarind restaurant.
What makes Tamarind village so special is its lovely site and exotic and luxurious appearance. It is built in Swahili style and has a series of arches, open-sided walkways with tantalizing water views, and open grill work walls in Moorish designs. All is in startling, sparkling white wash alive with the exuberance of bougainvillea spilling over balconies and peeping into corridors.
The complex is built along the side of a hill in six levels-balconies jut out at different heights, some shaded by thatch, others by log beams letting through slants of sunlight. Although this is a large, multi level building, the interest and variety in the layout and design make each apartment personal; and unique. There is a clean simplicity, an exotic elegance about the place.
The apartments vary in size, but all have master bedrooms, with bathrooms ensuite. There are telephones and air conditioning. Since they are privately owned, there are different styles of dcor, and some are much nicer than others. Numbers 41, 45, 54 and # 65 are well appointed and comfortable. Each apartment has a terrace and some have lovely views down across the water. A few have private outdoor Jacuzzi
The landscaping and swimming pool deserve special mention. Paths wander down through flowering rock gardens and lawns, creepers climb up walls and drape over balconies. The large contoured pool is glorious, with a swim up bar, unheated Jacuzzi and great views over the harbour. Next to the pool under a thatch roof is the sit-up Lido bar with a selection of snacks and light dishes.
Other facilities at the Mombasa north coast beach hotel:
Air conditioning, telephone connection to 24 hour switch board, fax facility, fully serviced apartments, swimming pool with Jacuzzi and nearby stores.
Severin Sea Lodge- Mombasa Kenya
This is one of the larger hotels on Bamburi beach. It has a rambling layout and some unique features such as a dhow restaurant moored on a little stream, and a conference center which resembles an Islamic mosque. There are two swimming pools and a high thatched rondavel bar which sports game trophies.
The rooms are in two or three story white washed bungalows with thatched roofs. The rooms are better than average-all with mini-bar, telephone and air conditioning. The 90 new comfort rooms, each with one double and one single bed, have Lamu-style furniture and nice bathrooms with double sink and hairdryer. Most rooms are set back from the sea, but standard rooms 400 and 402, and comfort rooms 177 and 178 have good ocean views. There is a busy entertainment program from water polo to jazz bands.
