The place is lovely, the staff fabulously friendly and accomodating, and the restaurant also a plus! It is a great escape/get away from everything.

Beautiful private beach, authentically furnished spacious luxury rooms built with natural materials. Unbelievable sea views, delicious meals and perfect coffee!
The location couldn't be better! This is an ideal getaway for couples and families who want to stay away from mass tourism and immerse themselves in nature.
Shimoni is the best kite surfing location and snorkeling spot in Kenya, teeming with dolphins and turtles. 
The love and attention to detail put in everything is the cherry on the cake. Expect to meet friendly faces all day! 
The staff are happy and available to assist but not too pushy. It was a pleasure chatting to the amazing owners; Tino & Christoph who were the most gracious of hosts. 
I will be back!

The Perfect Paradise

Amazing place, with very friendly staff. Perfect location for some peace and quiet. The food is great. The beach is white and amazingly clean. Mangroves also bring the place to life. You can kayak at dawn as the sun rises. 
This place is worth every dime.

A piece of heaven on earth

Maybe one of the most beautiful places I have ever been to. Very nice property, great service, friendly staff and breathtaking nature. Breakfast, lunch and dinner was always fresh quality and delicious. 
Our new "Secret Escape". We'll definitely come back!

Secret Escape!

Spot was absolutely amazing in January with winds consistently good all days on our stay.
Only negative is that almost everyone speaks German which makes it tough for none-German speakers. 
Don’t forget to bring some of your own clothes to give to the nearby village

For staff: There are several rooms with the same room number... Creates alot of confusion when checking out regarding reciepts.

Amazing spot

I spent a wonderful two weeks at Mwazaro. I was there in the quiet season so my experience will be very different to what it would be like in the busy period – I was the only guest for the first week!
The staff made me feel like a VIP: the chef asked my favourite meal so I could be cooked it, if I requested a particular meal another time, it was made with no problems. Once a day someone would find me to ask if I was ok. If I looked at a sunlounger, instantly someone would appear to place it perfectly for me!The staff invited me to their village and were very proud just showing it off to me, and I found the visit really interesting.  Kite Worldwide have invested a fair bit into the local area – school building, a cinema room in the village – so it was very sad to hear that the rumour is they might not renew. 
There are mangroves at either end of the bay which are interesting to go and have a look at; the sands are white and there are no sellers or hasslers. There were a few locals enjoying the sea each day, from the villages but they were friendly and no problem (bearing in mind as well I was a female on my own...some places in the world you would get massive hassle for that).
 I was there mainly to do some diving in Kisite – I mentioned it and it was all arranged the next day.
I went with Kisite Community Boat Operators, and I loved the idea that it was a community operation so hopefully provided more employment and money into the local community than private operators. 
The room I had was lovely – huge big bed, ornately decorated. I just loved the feel of the place; it was built by a German man and I really felt you could see his vision and all the little touches.  It’s a very cute set up. The food was excellent. I was there half board but the lunches were very reasonably priced as well. I had a massage with Catherine which was fantastic, really recommended. 
Sammy the dog was great company while I was there – we went for daily romps on the beach where he would dig like crazy and run around! A pair of bush babies come to the bar in the evening, there are coconut crabs around and hermit crabs as well.
A few things to note – you can pay for your stay on card but local activities (eg the diving) need cash and the nearest ATM is in Ukunda/Diani – an hour’s drive away! So stock up on your way down. You can get a car to take you to diani for the day, I paid 2500 shillings, and get cash as well then.
If you arrange a transfer with the hotel it will be cheaper than getting a cab from the airstrip. The cabs all have set rates but I paid 5000 and the hotel arrangement, you would pay more like 3500.
It was hot! The room I was in didn’t have a fan. There’s usually a pretty good breeze (it is a kite surfing destination after all) but if not, it’s warm. Just be prepared, that’s all!
There is a wonderful ‘rich man’s folly’ of a house just along the beach. You can go and have a look round – it’s crazy and huge and worth a visit! And ask for the story of hte guy who built it...

Slice of peaceful paradise

I was there in the off season, so there were only two guests. 

The cottages are right on the beach. So lovely and peaceful to sleep with the sound of the ocean. No ambient light to disturb the beautiful sky. 

The food was delicious. 

This ecolodge is about 8 km from the asphalt road. Head toward Shimoni on a good dirt road, but after about 7 km you will see a sign to head left toward Mwazaro. It is about 1 km. 

Such a peaceful location. Wonderful!

Paradise!

The 2 nights at Mwazaro Beach was memorable one..a small and nature friendly accomodation with private beach and no beach boys...spacious rooms with private shower, excellent food and friendly restaurant staff not to forget mzee Ali....

I will always recommend it to my friends

unforgettable experience

An execellent, relaxing place with very safe and perfect wind conditions! People should know the next Kind of City is Diani what is amost 1 hour drive on a bumpy street. 
Beautiful beach, good food, wonderful and perfecty friendly and helpful staff, good equipment, beachboys and instructor for kitesurfing!
Thanks to the whole Team! We had a wonderful time! 

If you go there: Do not miss the 2 days Safari in Tsavo East!!
