Welcome to Malindi — a beautiful coastal destination where centuries of Swahili history meet turquoise waters, marine adventure and laid-back beach life.
Explore historic landmarks. Sail across the Indian Ocean. Discover coral reefs and marine life. Taste fresh seafood. Wander through the old coastal streets. Visit nearby Watamu and Arabuko-Sokoke Forest.
Malindi is the kind of destination where you can spend the morning exploring history, the afternoon in the ocean and the evening watching the sunset over the coast.
Malindi has been shaped by centuries of interaction between African, Arab, Indian and European cultures.
Its history as an Indian Ocean trading centre can still be seen in its architecture, food, religious traditions and historic landmarks.
But Malindi isn't frozen in the past.
Today, it is a relaxed coastal destination known for its beaches, marine experiences, restaurants, watersports and easy access to some of Kenya's most fascinating natural attractions.
