Superb setting with stunning communal areas adorned with beautiful scented white flower trees. The rooms were super clean and the staff were truly exceptional and a huge asset to the property. They were most attentive and remained at our disposal throughout the days and nights of our stay. Shiela, Happy,Rosemary and Gakena will live long in our memories of our stay at this oasis. The warmest of smiles and happy to help demeanour will take some beating wherever you stay in the wold. Malindi is a hidden gem and in my opinion this hotel is by far the best in the area. Be sure to try the Hob restaurant which is close by.

Villa Malindi was a true gem. The breakfasts and dinners were fantastic. The rooms were beautiful, spacious, clean, and luxurious. The staff were all so attentive and helpful. We stayed with two small kids, and everything we needed was there. The grounds were gorgeous and the pool perfectly maintained. The beach was just a short 2m walk from the gate. It was a truly wonderful and relaxing weekend.

All the staff were very nice and discret. And arranged with whatever I needed during my stay. The property is basic but has everything you need to sleep and wash. The roof top is really comfortable with WiFi. The restaurant is there if you don’t want to go out and has a nice sunset. I tried the omelet and sausage in the morning it was very yummy. Depends on the price but if you get a good price, it will be a good deal.

The facility is stunning 😍. Simple yet elegant architecture with coconut & frangipani trees dotted all over. The food was sumptuous & made to order. Above all else, the staff were amazing. From the cool welcome from Rose & Tracey to Shaaban, phillip, and the rest in the kitchen, of course Victorina, Fatma, Janet, Adam, and Ken. Bernard, though, capped it all - he's gifted in customer service. He made our stay memorable. Bravo to the team at Billionaire Resort 👏

    Malindi is currently regarded as the "dead town" but in my opinion, it's the perfect escape from all sorts of pollution- Instantly replaced by the facinating historical landmarks like hell's kitchen & Mambrui in totality, peace & serene, are just some of the healing that Malindi has to offer.

    If you can cook in Malindi, please cook.

    If you can cook in Malindi, please cook. Chefs are also too expensive but if you are up for it, great. The customer service in Malindi is questionable, some restaurants even packing sub food as your take away. Also, the locals especially tour guides try to rip you off compared to other coastal towns, its quite annoying. Make sure you have someone who knows their way around Malindi so that you can be linked up.

    Malindi town is typical of Kenya with a market, supermarket, lots of traders and as a tourist you are well served. It is a quiet safe area but restaurants tend to be quiet at night with few customers.If you want nightlife there are clubs and beach parties til 3am or later .

    Cool laid back town. Action is on the beach.

    Cool laid back town. Action is on the beach. Local foods like fish, calamari, prawns easily gotten-mostly in the evening. Its a 'crime' not to use a motor bike(boda boda) to tour the town on foot! Annoying whistles and hoots from the riders- just avoid eye contact! Malindi town is easy to walk around. Coffee lovers have a huge choice- kahawa tungu( peppered with cinnamon&ginger powder)- on the bench at every turn of road -or- in Italian themed coffee joints by the beach and main streets. Lo Sfizio restaurant- along Lamu road is a great one.- Malaika Restaurant- Buntwani Beach is another.

    Easy town to move around. Not that many pedestrian walkways.

    Easy town to move around. Not that many pedestrian walkways. From my last visit(2023) there is an upgrade though. Need for more coffee places. The beach areas could be more cleaner. For coffee and lovely delicious snacks,go to Malaika restaurant opposite the Buntwani Beach Front. Walking is the healthiest way to move around Malindi,just don't give a visual contact with the boda boda taxis( you will ride unwillingly!) Avoid the Tikka chicken with coloured(yellow) spicing.

    The information on Booking.com about Malindi is an accurate representation of what I found on site. I visited the following places: Galana Shopping Centre Vasco da Gama Pillar Portuguese Chapel Malindi Marine National Park. I occasionally ate out from a wide range of restaurants in the city centre. It was quite easy to move around Malindi and I currently have no experience of places to avoid while in Malindi.

    We loved absolutely everything about Villa Malindi. The villa, the rooms, the pool, the whole atmosphere, the food and the free laundry service option. Alex and George, as well as other staff were amazing. Alex was in touch with every guest of the villa in the morning and at dinner, asking if we needed anything, advised on where to go to see the best beaches and sightseeing, arranged the car when we needed. Honestly, that was the best stay in Kenya and was a cherry on top in the end of our big 4-week trip.

    Just… Paradise! Originally booked the property for a one week stay, but decided to extend for another week. Located literally a minute from the beach. But not only that, the highly maintained grounds, beautiful location and fantastic swimming pools. The property is just a short TukTuk ride away from many good restaurants and a peaceful haven away from the chaos of the town. Ideal for short breaks, or like me, extended or long breaks, I cannot recommend this property highly enough.

We really enjoyed our 3days stay. I recommend the environment to any other person going to Malindi. The beach is at a walking distance.

    Everything, the big space in the main room. Spacious and clean bathroom an adequate kitchen for at least making breakfast, we didn’t cook. The patio with the breeze and view of the sea and the proximity to our favourite beach restaurant in Malindi. This place is perfect and we will definitely be back.
