We had an amazing stay at this apartment. Even though we arrived very late, someone was there to welcome us, hand us the keys, and explain everything clearly. Every morning a lovely lady prepared fresh breakfast for us, and the place was always clean and comfortable. The pool is fantastic, and we enjoyed every moment of our stay. The beach is just a 10–15 minute walk, and the nearest supermarket is about 7 minutes away. The staff were incredibly kind. If you’re staying in Watamu and want to relax and enjoy your time, this is a place I can recommend. Absolutely worth it!

Review: I recently stayed in Watamu at the beautiful villa called Airamjudi, and it was an exceptional experience. The villa offers all the comforts needed for a relaxing stay: the room was well-furnished, spacious, and equipped with everything I could ask for. The location is perfect for those looking for tranquility but still want the convenience of getting around easily. The area is peaceful and safe, and it’s very easy to move around thanks to the availability of tuk-tuks and motorbikes. Plus, the villa is located right in front of Fortamu Beach, which is easily reachable on foot—a huge bonus! One of the highlights of my stay was the fantastic pool, ideal for unwinding after a day of exploring. I really appreciated the attention to detail and the welcoming atmosphere of the villa. I had an amazing time and will definitely return. I highly recommend Airamjudi to anyone looking for a perfect combination of relaxation, comfort, and natural beauty!
