The Villa Experience

Set within the peaceful Kilifi Plantation, Nderit House is a beautifully restored oceanfront residence surrounded by tropical gardens and ancient baobab trees. Overlooking the entrance to Kilifi Creek and the Indian Ocean, the property offers five en-suite bedrooms accommodating 10 guests, three swimming pools and a fully staffed, all-inclusive experience. For larger groups, the separate one-bedroom Nderit Villa can accommodate two additional adults, complete with its own infinity pool and private outdoor dining area.

Originally built as a family holiday home in the 1970s, Nderit House has been thoughtfully refurbished while retaining its character and connection to the Kenyan coastline. The accommodation includes three double bedrooms and two twin bedrooms, with the master bedroom adjoining a twin room particularly suited to families with younger children. Generous indoor and outdoor living spaces include a veranda for dining and relaxing, an upstairs terrace, a library and media room, and a bar with a temperature-controlled wine cellar. Outside, guests can spend their days between the swimming pools, shaded loungers and landscaped gardens, or arrange a massage at the poolside spa.

Dining is an important part of the Nderit experience, with a private chef preparing fresh, locally sourced meals throughout the stay. The all-inclusive offering covers breakfast, lunch and dinner, afternoon tea, sundowner canapés and selected drinks, while the dedicated house team takes care of housekeeping, laundry and daily service. For those wishing to explore, the host can organise everything from watersports and fishing excursions to private boat charters, yoga sessions and local experiences.
