The journey

Three nights in Watamu over New Year's Eve: a stay near the beach, access to coastal celebrations, and a calm first morning of 2027.

Watamu is the north coast at its most relaxed: a protected marine park, a turtle-nesting shore and a lively but small social scene at the turn of the year.

We arrange accommodation, transfers and access arrangements for New Year's Eve events. Events are run by third-party organisers. We do not host them, and we confirm the organiser's 2026 date and ticket before we sell it.

Event access is subject to the organiser's confirmation for 31 December 2026.

Highlights

  • A stay close to the beach, tiered to your budget
  • Help securing tickets to a New Year's Eve event, once the organiser confirms
  • Snorkelling in the Watamu Marine National Park (optional)
  • The Gede ruins and Arabuko-Sokoke forest (optional)
