Nomad Beach Resort

We stayed for 6 nights at the end of our six week tour around Kenya. The beach faces east, so no sunsets. The spring tide reduces the beach to nothing and when it recedes it’s a 100 metre walk to the shallows. The Good A very personal and intimate resort with character. The pool area is lovely and the staff who look after you in this area are marvellous. Nelly was proactive and always smiling and friendly. Breakfast was perfect, mangoes, papaya, dragon fruit etc. Charles the pastry chef produced small quiches, tarts et al which were excellent. Lunch poolside was good for club sandwiches and pizzas. All staff were very helpful and courteous throughout. The Bad Dinner in the restaurant was below average. We were so disappointed that we ate out on 3 of the 6 evenings catching an Uber. We had 2 poor sleep nights as the air conditioner conked out (resolved giving us an adjoining room). The shower was uncomfortably hot as the cold water was also hot. No smart TV in room. No shower caps/sewing kits/ear buds/face flannels etc. No proper bedside tables and discrete lighting. Not a drawer in sight, just open cubbies and hanging rail. Limed furniture is a bit passé in 2025. The accommodation is quite expensive when compared to resorts we visited on our nights out (which offered live music, restaurant choices and a bit more dazzle etc.). The whole place could do with some TLC!

Nomad Beach Resort was our first stop for a six week African trip so we could get over jet lag as travelled from Canada. Stayed five nights. The room was great with a separate bedroom and bathroom for our daughter. A/C worked great in both sleeping areas and was needed as was hot and humid. Patio area outside the room nice and private save for the local monkeys, and had an ocean view that was amazing. Grassy areas simple but all you really need. Beach area was wide open and almost empty. No beach chairs on the beach area as the resort ends at the beach, and as pool people that was fine. Local beach vendors do not hesitate to come chat once you are on the beach but are respectful enough when you ask for space. Resort staff all very commendable for friendliness and helpfulness, especially when our daughter was ill. The restaurant breakfast buffet was great and menu options also good. Pool area was quiet as was the resort - no music blasting and it was a very chill vibe. Beds a bit hard for our liking but comfortable enough. Prices at the restaurant and bar were comparable to other resorts we visited on our journeys. A safe, clean, chill place with great staff. Thanks to Ismael at the pool for his help and kindness.

We had a lovely 6 night stay here after our various safari stops and what a great end to the holiday. The hotel is rustic style (maybe just on the brink of getting away with it). We stayed in an ocean view suite which was spacious, supering size bed and had fabulous air con! The mini fridge (payable) and water was replenished daily. We had a massive deck area (ground floor) where we sat each evening and listened to the waves and saw the cute monkeys and baboons. The beach is huge and at low tide you can walk out really far before the water is even waist height.Theres a lot of seaweed and I was told that this is seasonal, not a problem for us but just pointing it out. Breakfasts were nice, nothing amazing, but certainly enough variety. We had lunch at the pool daily and it was always very good as was the drinks service from your sun beds. We ate at the grill twice, simple but tasty. You can choose various meats and or seafood and sauces, marinades and sides, all very nice. We ate at the main restaurant twice which was also very good. The staff throughout the hotel are all very friendly and helpful. I cannot remember all of their lovely names, but we had a great rapport with Nellie and the guest relations manager, Jacinta (sorry if I've spelt wrong) We attended the manager cocktail party briefly - those blue cocktails were delicious. The spa was nice, we enjoyed our massages. We ate at a nearby restaurant twice, Alibarbour, (separate review), very nice set in a cave. You will have local people coming up to you on the beach selling, trips, coconuts etc but a polite no thank you and they go on their way. The glass bottom boat trip via the hotel to the sand bank was really enjoyable. it was a 2 hours and cost $25 p/p. it. One of the guys went in the water and fed the fish so we saw so many varieties plus eels, star fish, sea cucumbers and so on.

Birthday weekend well spent. Beautiful beach and apartment. I loved the decor and entire setup. Beautiful experience with the Japanese kitchen, getting to decide the meal contents, ingredients, and observing the meal being made in my presence was an out of this world experience. Warm staff that made our stay extra enjoyable, accommodating our 4am meal request on the checkout date. We will definitely have Nomads on our to do list in the near future.

My experience in Nomad Resort was extraordinary. My family and I love it a lot, the place is so beautiful and the service is even better. Philomena she was so nice with us, attentive, she help us with everything we needed, she was really kind with us and she made our stayed better. Also Veronica and Sulleiman they also made our stayed better and nice, they made us feel welcomed. Gracias por todo!

Me and my wife stayed at this lovely hotel for pur honeymoon in one of the beach cottages. We arrived after a week of safari and this was the perfect place to relax after a busy week. A breathtaking setting on the Indian ocean with wonderful staff. The hotel arranged so many big and small touches to make our stay memorable. The food in the main restaurant was brilliant; especially the breakfast. We took advantage of the guided kayak and snorkel trip to the sand Bank off the coast and this was very enjoyable. We also had a fantastic couples massage, complimentary from the hotel, which is the best massage I've ever had! Would definitely reccomend one of these beach cottages to anyone looking for a luxurious relaxing stay! P.s I would only say watch you don't have any bright food or drink outside cause a baboon may steal it from your hand like it did us!
