Lion in the Sun Boutique Hotel & Spa: Coastal Elegance Meets Soulful Refuge in Malindi
Perched along Kenya’s glittering coastline, Lion in the Sun Boutique Hotel & Spa is more than a destination - it’s a sanctuary where the whispers of the Indian Ocean meet the heart of East Africa.
Arrival & Setting a Calm Tone
From the moment you arrive, verdant gardens, shaded walkways, and Afro-colonial architecture frame the ambiance. The scent of frangipani, the rustle of palm leaves, and glimpses of turquoise sea beyond invite you to slow down.
Intimate Rooms with Coastal Soul
With only 16 rooms, the hotel feels personal. Each room or suite is uniquely curated - balconies overlook gardens or pools; interiors fuse local touches, premium materials, and modern comfort. Privacy and quiet reign.
Pools, Beach & Spa Rhythms
Multiple saltwater pools offer serene havens for lounging. For that seaside magic, a private beach just a short shuttle away opens to the Indian Ocean’s gentle waves. The spa invites you to restful rituals - massages, wraps, hydrotherapy - within quiet alcoves.
Savoring the Flavors
Every meal is a moment to connect - with place, with taste. Fresh seafood, tropical produce, Afro-Mediterranean flair, and culinary finesse make dining both elegant and locally rooted.
A Day Unfolds Slowly
Mornings might begin with coffee on your veranda; afternoons drift by in the spa or by the pool; evenings are for candlelit dinners and quiet reflection under wide skies. Staff move with warmth and presence, making each guest feel like the centerpiece.
