Built east of Malindi, about three kms from the river Sabaky and about a km from the famous golden beach of Malindi, in a beautiful residential area characterized by the presence of numerous typical villas with wood and straw roofs (makuti).
The company owner has commissioned this new project for a tourist complex that can hold one hundred small and medium-sized housing units, service buildings, a large reception building, restaurant, bar, spa, swimming pools and greenery.
The project has maintained the previous planimetry, creating a large central green space with a central swimming pool, a large building containing the lobby, reception, kitchen and restaurant at the entrance, and, in a semicircle, all the villas and the two buildings for apartments and suites. In this new design approach, the client has opted for an architecture that’s a little less African and more Arabic, with flat roofs and opting for the typical African makuti roof, only for the main reception building and the wellness small buildings.
