About this property

Welcome to Himaya House. Situated on a coral buff overlooking Silversands Beach, Malindi, the views are stunning. There are two magnificent Baobab trees which give a very special feeling to the property. There is a short path down to the beach - only accessed through a carved wooden door - giving you complete privacy and exclusivity.

The house is spacious and cool with a north or south monsoon blowing most of the year. The main house has a large living area plus veranda with the Master Bedroom up above. All rooms have a spectacular view. Three of the bedrooms are in a separate unit with steps down to the swimming pool and one of the bedrooms is nestled beneath a beautiful baobab.

Malindi is a lively town with lively discos during the peak seasons.

Fantastic stay in beautiful surroundings

We spent one of the best holidays we've ever experienced at Himaya house - couldn't recommend highly enough! Everything in our stay was perfect and well attended to. The house itself is in a gorgeous location, and is fabulously well-maintained as well as spotless. The food is to-die-for (especially the prawn curry), and Lissa's hospitality was absolutely incredible. In addition, Malindi itself is a lovely town, and also close to other great places to visit, including Tsavo national park (a few hours drive), the arabuko-Sokoke forest (about 30 minutes away), and Watamu (a nice coastal village) which we visited during our stay as well. Cannot wait to stay again!

Everything that we could have wanted

Himaya is the most beautiful property in a totally stunning location. Perched on the corner, it gives views across the sea and length of the beach, allowing you to feel on the beach and also secluded at the same time. The bedrooms are peaceful with the warm breeze of the Indian Ocean drifting through and the staff were all truly wonderful. Sammy's cooking justifies the stay alone, and the professional and friendly service of the rest of the staff was really touching. I can't recommend the property highly enough and Lissa was a dream to deal with. We explored the surrounding area quite a bit whilst also finding time to relax. Through Lissa's contacts we were able to easily organise a private safari driver to take us to Tsavo, as well as a really wonderful trip to the Arabuko-Sikoki forest just South of Malindi where we saw some beautiful animals found nowhere else in the world. We spent time in Malindi Old Town and ate out at some really lovely local restaurants, including the Crab Shack where we managed to pinch the best table in the house for the sunset over the water. This property is an absolute paradise and I am alreay making plans to return in 2019.

A beautiful Kenyan idyll!

Our stay in this beautiful property exceeded all expectations. The setting up on a small promontory affords spectacular views over the white shore of the bay. And you can admire them all day whether you’re basking in the sun by the pool, dozing in a hammock under the shade of the ancient baobab tree, working in your bedroom or drinking something chilled at the dining table on the veranda. The tranquillity of the house does not come at the expense of access to activities. There are some excellent bars/restaurants a short walk down the beach and Malindi town is close by. The villa’s proximity to Tsavo East also meant we were able to get in a full day’s safari (seeing almost everything you could hope to see and hundreds of ‘red’ elephants…). The service provided by the lovely staff was first-rate. Hats off to Sami and Silas especially who made every meal a real treat; and even taught us a thing or two about cooking fish! I can’t wait to go back. Highly recommended!
