Located in Watamu, on the South East coast of Kenya, Ocean Sports Resort offers views of the Indian Ocean. This beachfront resort features an outdoor swimming pool, restaurant and bar.

Ocean Sports Resort restaurant serves fresh seafood and locally grown fruit and vegetables with an influence of French cuisine. It also offers wood-fire pizzas and homemade bread and croissants. Guests can unwind at Ian’s Bar and enjoy a cocktail. Lunch and special meals are available upon request. The place was incredibly spacious, spotless, and comfortable. While there are some older cottages on the property, I was lucky to stay in one of the newer ones — and it was absolutely beautiful. Thoughtfully designed, modern, and serene — it felt like the perfect blend of charm and comfort.
