A protected marine national park gives Watamu some of the clearest water on the coast. The village stays intentionally low-density, favouring boutique villas over large resorts.

What we know about buying in Watamu

Development is restricted near the marine park, which keeps Watamu exclusive. Existing titles inside the desirable bays rarely come to market.
