Lion in the Sun Details

Location

This luxury boutique hotel lies on an exquisite stretch of tropical Kenyan coastline. Located in the coastal town of Malindi, just 80 kilometers northeast of Mombassa, Lion in the Sun is bursting with traditional African character with a hint of Arabic influences and enchantingly chic modern twists. Surrounded by three acres of sumptuous tropical gardens, the hotel is only 300 metres from the retreat's private beach in the Malindi Marine Park. After soaking up the sun by one of the resort's four sea-water swimming pools, you can amble down to the private beach, and watch the turquoise waves of the Indian ocean lap against your feet whilst a personal butler brings you cooling refreshments.
