Overview
3 double bedrooms, with en-suite bathrooms
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. Two of the bedrooms are in a separate unit with steps down to the swimming pool.
The Master bedroom is up above the main living area and has its own entrance.
The Kenya coast has a North and South Monsoon.
The winds blow from the North from around end of November through to April/May and then change to the South.
This obviously brings changes on the beach,
In the North Monsoon the sea weed is blown down towards the house and there for the beach is not a complete stretch of white sand.
There are always areas that are clear and where you can swim.
It is absolutely not a problem but I would like you to know the photographs are taken in the South Monsoon.

Wonderful, relaxing stay in paradise
A group of 7 of us stayed for 2 weeks at Himaya House and we received absolutely wonderful treatment.
The accommodation was excellent; comfortable beds, airy rooms, well equipped bathrooms. There was also plenty of space for us all to be comfortable, enabling us to have chill time alone, as well as good socialising spaces.
The staff went above and beyond to make our stay special; the garden and pool were beautiful, everything was always clean, and the cooking was fantastic.
Lissa was very thoughtful and had bought some essential food items in time for our arrival. She also has a useful folder of tips for staying in Malindi and ideas of places to go and see.
The proximity to the beach is perfect, enabling us to enjoy the marine park and sea.
I would 100% recommend Himaya House to anyone wanting to stay in Malindi.
Perfection - A DREAM of a vacation...
We had a wonderful experience at Himaya House. The property was exquisite and the staff was above excellent in the way they took care of our needs and brought us into the home. We cannot wait to return and would highly recommend to all. You can't go wrong with this dream of a vacation.
This house is stunning with amazing staff
We loved this property! So peaceful, well decorated, very clean and amazing staff!!
Absouloutly wonderful!
This is a perfect place if you are looking for a relaxing and wonderful holiday with family or friends. The house is at a perfect spot, on a cliff to overlook the sea and parts of the marine park with a stunning view and there is a direkt access to the beach. Lissa, the owner and her team are very professional, very kind, the chef cooks fantastic food. They always care about any extra need. It is indeed a very special and great place - we will always try to come back!
Paradise
We arrived hot and sticky to this fabulous place where we were made to feel welcome and at home. The pool, to where we headed, is just wonderful-warm and fun, with lots of sun and shade loungers. Lissa and her staff are an amazing team, always smiling, helpful, pleasant.... honestly, our biggest difficulty was packing to leave, which firmed our resolve to return as soon as possible! Lissa, thank you for helping us find your wonderful paradise...
Peaceful and relaxing family holiday!
This was our family's second time to stay at this property and we truly can't imagine staying anywhere else at this point. We have five children, ranging in age from 6-12yrs old, yet this house somehow meets the needs of each family member while we are there. It is so convenient having a private access to the beach and ability to go as desired without much planning needing to be involved. We could literally sit on our porch and makes plans according to the tide at that moment. The staff of the house went above and beyond their job duties, especially with their care for our children. Often going out of their way to keep them entertained and answer any questions that they might have about life in Kenya. We stayed for a month, yet there wasn't a single day that our needs and comfort were not met beyond our expectations. The food that Sammy prepared was AMAZING and even after four weeks we were still not running out of options for new and exciting meals. The property is very well maintained, always clean and orderly. Himaya truly feels like a home away from home for our family (although one with a much nicer view!).
