MEDINA PALMS<br />
Watamu<br />
With its distinct North African and Mediterranean flair<br />
which followed through to the dishes served, this hotel<br />
became a fast favourite. We checked into a chic allwhite<br />
apartment-style villa with two ensuite rooms, a<br />
kitchen, private lounge and balcony overlooking the<br />
pool, an upstairs living room complete with a rooftop<br />
plunge pool on the terrace. Families and honeymooners<br />
lazed away the day by the main pool which stretched<br />
across the length of the hotel, culminating in an infinity<br />
pool overlooking the sea. Choose from 50 units ranging<br />
from cozy one-bedroom apartments to palatial fivebedroom<br />
villas. Meals can be enjoyed at Amandina<br />
Restaurant, or under the moon by the pool, beach or<br />
garden. There’s a fitness centre as well as the rooftop,<br />
open-air Sakina Ocean spa offering full-body massages<br />
using rose quartz crystals, shea and water jets, as well<br />
as a range of deep facials. www.medinapalms.com<br />
