Kenya has some beautiful beaches and beach holiday destinations. Some of the most memorable Kenya beach holidays can be enjoyed on the island of Lamu, just off the Kenyan coast, and in the famous Mombasa on the coast of the Indian Ocean. Both destinations offer white sandy beaches, warm waters and lots of activities for all types of holidaymakers.
Mombasa is probably the best known beach destination in this East African country and is known for its warm tropical weather and the beaches that stretch for miles along the coast. Booking a holiday in Mombasa is easy, as this is one of the most popular resorts in Kenya and most international travel agencies offer packages to Mombasa. The best time to travel is in January and February, when there is little rain and the weather is warm and sunny. April and May are the rainiest months. Hotels and resorts along the coast cater for all types of vacationers and include affordable tourist hotels and luxurious resorts.
Lamu is a peaceful and tranquil island and perfect for quiet and relaxing Kenya beach holidays. There are miles of stunning beaches, small villages and coconut and mango plantations. The medieval old town is fascinating to explore with its narrow streets and markets and bazaars. No vehicles exist in Lamu and the easiest way to explore the island is by walking. You can also take a trip on a dhow, a traditional East African sailing vessel. The archipelago around Lamu has some smaller islands with exclusive luxury resorts for truly peaceful beach vacations.
In both Mombasa and Lamu you can enjoy sunbathing and swimming, snorkeling around the coral reefs in the Indian Ocean, a relaxed atmosphere and excellent fresh seafood. Freshly caught fish and other seafood is one of the best parts of a vacation here. Many international travel agencies arrange holiday packages to both Mombasa and Lamu.
