OUR STORY
Kasa Pomboo sits on a cliff above the Indian Ocean in Shimoni — a place so quietly beautiful it takes a moment to believe it is real. Our name tells our story: Kasa means sea turtle, Pomboo means dolphin — and both visit us almost every day, swimming through the channel directly in front of the hotel. You could catch a glimpse of them from your seat at lunch.
🐬 Dolphins and sea turtles visible from the restaurant, almost daily
🪨 Clifffront with staircase to the ocean — walk the reef at low tide
🌿 Swahili architecture, organic kitchen garden, farm-to-table dining
⛵ Direct gateway to Kisite Mpunguti Marine Park — boat out from here
Three rooms. Each one different. Each facing the ocean.
Wake to uninterrupted views of the Indian Ocean. Coral stone walls, Swahili four-poster bed, and a private veranda above the channel.
A private cottage with garden terrace — ideal for longer stays or families seeking extra space and privacy.
Perched on the cliff edge with floor-to-ceiling ocean views, an outdoor shower, and a private plunge bath.
OUR POOL
Our cliff-edge infinity pool sits at the very edge of the property — the horizon dissolves into the Indian Ocean below. One of the most peaceful places on the Kenyan coast. Open to guests from sunrise to dusk.
DINING
Our kitchen draws from the Shimoni fishing community — fresh reef fish, Swahili spices, and herbs from the garden.
Meals are served overlooking the ocean, morning to evening.
From the ocean floor to ancient caves — Shimoni offers more than most people expect
MARINE · PARK
Snorkel and dive in one of East Africa’s most pristine marine parks — a 20-minute boat ride from the hotel.
ADVENTURE
Join a traditional dhow at sunset or arrange deep-sea fishing through the channel with local crew.
UNDERWATER
The reef directly in front of the property is alive with coral, tropical fish, and sea turtles. Guided dives available.
SUNDOWNER
Board a traditional dhow as the sun drops over the channel — dolphins often follow the boat heading home.

“We had a wonderful stay at Kasa Pomboo Hotel & Restaurant. The food was absolutely amazing — one of the best meals we had during our trip. Our luxury villa was beautiful, comfortable, and offered unforgettable views of the ocean. We also loved that the whole property is eco-friendly and powered only by solar energy. The swimming pool was excellent, perfect for relaxing while enjoying the scenery. Most importantly, the staff were incredibly kind, friendly, and always ready to help. We highly recommend Kasa Pomboo to anyone looking for a peaceful place with great food, stunning views, and outstanding hospitality.”

“The best service I’ve had in Kenya. The staff were friendly and smiling when we arrived, they made you feel welcome. The pool was clean and well taken care of, made the place feel luxurious. At night we went down their staircase to the water and watched the stars, it was peaceful sitting there and listening to the waves crashing against the corals.”

“A gem in Shimoni. It’s a hotel that makes you feel at home. The way it has been designed makes it feel genuinely homely — great for single travellers, couples and families alike. The staff were very friendly, attentive and hospitable. They showed personal interest and would strike up a conversation when the moment was right. They even washed our car — something unexpected but very thoughtful and touching.”
