About this property
Kenyan family villa with beautiful pool, private beach access, stunning views.
Welcome to Himaya House. Situated on a coral buff overlooking Silversands Beach, Malindi, the views are stunning. There are two magnificent Baobab trees which give a very special feeling to the property. There is a short path down to the beach - only accessed through a carved wooden door - giving you complete privacy and exclusivity.
The house is spacious and cool with a north or south monsoon blowing most of the year. The main house has a large living area plus veranda with the Master Bedroom up above. All rooms have a spectacular view. Three of the bedrooms are in a separate unit with steps down to the swimming pool and one of the bedrooms is nestled beneath a beautiful baobab.
Malindi is a lively town with lively discos during the peak seasons.
