A FAMILY
WITH PICTURE-PERFECT VIEWS
About TOMURU HOUSE
"This house is a home away from home... If our home was on the most beautiful beach on earth."
“This is the perfect place to relax and enjoy the beauty of the coast. We had a lovely vacation and thoroughly enjoyed the house, pool, and proximity to the beach. I would love to come back some day!”
A spacious family home located right on the shores of the Indian Ocean in Watamu, Kenya, Tomuru House is a stunning retreat from which to enjoy a relaxing beach holiday. With uninterrupted sea views across the kaleidoscope of blues and turquoises of the National Marine Park, sit back, enjoy the breeze and bask in the company of family and friends.
Tomuru House sleeps 8 people comfortably or a maximum of 10 upon request. It's hard to imagine a better place to be.
LIFE BY THE WATER
"The cure for anything is salt water
- tears, sweat, or the sea."
Tomuru's saltwater pool is located between the house and the sea - an exquisite spot for a quiet dip in the evening or for splashing about with the kids earlier in the day. For the little ones, there are gentle steps into the shallow end and an underwater seating area in the deep end for the adults with a sundowner in hand. An "al fresco" freshwater shower in the landscaped gardens will rinse off the salt before you head back indoors to change in time for a delicious lunch or supper by candlelight.
From the pool, a short path leads on to an unspoiled and often deserted beach. Enjoy long sunset walks along the breathtaking stretch of white sand or jump into a plethora of activities that Watamu is most famous for -goggling, kitesurfing, waterskiing and deep-sea "tag & release" fishing.
