All-inclusive escapes
Your stay, breakfast or half board, a Tsavo safari, a day on the dhow and your airport transfers, all in one price.
8 elegant rooms. All the comforts you need.
Every room at TAWI is built to the same standard, so whichever door you open you get the same calm, bright space: smooth lime-washed walls, carved hardwood doors, a king-size bed under a white mosquito net and an en-suite bathroom with a curved walk-in rain shower.
Air conditioning, high-speed Wi-Fi, a flat-screen TV, a fridge and a safe box are all in the room, and the team cleans every day. Outside, the pool, the guest-only restaurant and the rooftop bar are a few steps along the veranda — and Fortamu Beach is 300 metres away, across the road.
Stay a weekend or a few weeks. We can add airport pick-up, a safari, a dhow trip or a full all-inclusive package to any booking, so your stay is planned around what you love.
