What is Mnarani Beach Club?
Mnarani Beach Club is set in about 40 acres of landscaped gardens on the cliffs above Kilifi Creek, with steps down to a private beach. It has 76 rooms, a restaurant, an outdoor pool and a spa.
Families use the pool and the sheltered creek beach, and the club offers watersports and free bikes. It is a long-established coastal resort, so the pace is slow and the grounds are the main attraction for children.
