Garden rooms, a turquoise pool and reliable water round the clock, all inside a gated, secure compound right on Casuarina Road. Book your room, then let us take you everywhere Malindi has to offer with our own car hire and tour guide service.
Maweni sits right on Casuarina Road in Malindi, with direct access on and off the main road and a gated, secured compound around a stone-tiled pool shaded by a makuti gazebo. Rooms are comfortable rather than showy, finished with dark wood furniture, ceiling fans, mosquito nets and a steady supply of water for hot showers — everything you actually need for a relaxed coastal stay.
Breakfast is served every morning, the front desk is staffed around the clock, and the covered courtyard doubles as a function space for groups and organizations. Beyond the gate, our own car hire and tour guide service is on hand to take you wherever the coast calls you next — the beach, the ruins, the reef, or the market. It's the kind of place regulars come back to, because nothing about it tries too hard and everything about it just works.

"Easy to find right off the main road. Front desk staff sorted a late check-in without any fuss, and the room was clean with a good fan."
"We used the courtyard for a small church group meeting and it worked perfectly. Good value, secure compound, would book again."
