Great value getaway with great chef & world class beach
If you want to get away from it all, walk on an almost deserted world-class beach and come back to a fabulous meal including fresh fish purchased from a visiting fisherman, and get lulled to sleep by waves crashing on the reef then look no further than Villa Chui. If you want to walk to coffee shops, restaurants, shops and supermarkets then head to Diani.
Villa Chui sits at the eastern end of a large fenced lot which includes at the western end, a smaller building sued by the maid and night-time security. Villa Chui presents in what I think of as African farmhouse with locally made furniture. Soft furnishings are clearly African and to my taste subtle. The ground floor provides a kitchen, living/TV area, indoor and outdoor dining. On the second floor are three bedrooms, one has a bathroom attached and the other two share a Jack and Jill bathroom. There is a west-facing outdoor seating area that is perfect for soaking up the early morning sun. A staircase leads to a rooftop patio that has covered seating and a covered table. Close to the villa is a small unheated swimming pool and steps leading to a track that runs parallel with the beach for a few hundred meters before providing beach access. You can also access the beach by walking towards the village and then turning down towards a primary school that is full of the cutest kids. The village itself reflects its rural location and to be honest has little in the way of interest.
The msambweni beach is world-class, offering
