Maya Kobe Boutique Hotel

A contemporary beachfront boutique hotel on the shores of Kilifi, where modern architecture meets the raw beauty of the Kenyan coast. Maya Kobe sits directly on the waterfront with panoramic views of Kilifi Creek and the Indian Ocean — offering a stylish yet affordable stay for travellers who want design, comfort, and the ocean at their doorstep.

Rooms & Amenities

Modern rooms with clean lines, quality furnishings, and en-suite bathrooms. Many rooms feature private balconies with ocean or creek views. Air conditioning and ceiling fans in all rooms. Complimentary high-speed Wi-Fi — excellent for remote work. Pool overlooking the water. Daily housekeeping and fresh towels.

Beachfront & Creek Views

The hotel's standout feature is its waterfront position. Watch traditional dhows sail past from your balcony. The creek changes colour with the tides — deep emerald at high tide, golden sandbanks at low tide. Direct access to the water for swimming and kayaking. The pool area faces the ocean, making it one of the most scenic spots in Kilifi.

Location & Surroundings

Kilifi is the creative hub of Kenya's coast — bohemian atmosphere, world-class restaurants (Saltys, Twisted Fig, Kilifi Boatyard), and the stunning Kilifi Creek. A 30-minute drive from Watamu and 1 hour from Mombasa. The hotel is a gateway to Bofa Beach, Arabuko-Sokoke Forest, and the vibrant local food scene.

Good to Know

Check-in from 2 PM, check-out by 11 AM. Breakfast available. The hotel can arrange day trips to Watamu, Malindi, and local cultural sites. Kilifi is also a popular base for kitesurfing (Saltys Kitesurf Village is nearby). Ideal for digital nomads, couples, and anyone who wants to wake up to the water.
