Welcome to Jacaranda Beach Resort
The most beautiful sea in Kenya
JACARANDA Beach Resort
Jacaranda was the first resort in the area—known by many as Sardegna Due—back in 2006.
Nearly twenty years later, it remains the most renowned tourist complex on Jacaranda Beach: 118 recently renovated or brand-new rooms, a wide range of spaces and services, and ninety meters of private beachfront.
Ten kilometers of pristine beach facing two Marine Parks, for a truly authentic vacation.

A Dream Location
The majestic makuti thatched roofs of the reception and the panoramic restaurant alternate with the whitewashed buildings in Arab style, creating a unique blend with the gardens and the beach. Here, we are among the very few hotels in all of Kenya with rooms so close to the ocean—an exceptional privilege.
Beach
A 10-kilometer stretch of white sand between Watamu and Malindi, where the tides create stunning atolls and natural pools—a paradise that our guests can enjoy from the front row. Declared the most beautiful beach in Kenya, formerly known as Sardegna 2, it now features a few charming chiringuitos.
Restaurants, Bars & Fine Dining
The best of the Indian Ocean—lobsters, prawns, and giant crabs—available by reservation through our à la carte menus, to be enjoyed either at the scenic Beach Restaurant or under the gazebo by the pool. Or opt for a daily fusion of Italian cuisine and local ingredients at our Kuku Restaurant, where show cooking takes center stage.
Pools & Services
Jacaranda offers everything you need for a comfortable and relaxing holiday: three large swimming pools, tropical gardens, an amphitheater, a panoramic main restaurant, several bars, a play area, beach volleyball court, two boutiques, a spa, a water sports and scuba diving center, an excursions and safari office, and much more.

IMPOSSIBLE IS POSSIBLE
With this motto, the Jacaranda Nursery & Primary School opened its doors in 2010. Today, the school is a vibrant institution providing education to over 500 children aged 5 to 15, and it has recently expanded to include a Junior Secondary section for older students. We are proud to have built and donated these schools to the local community.
Only personal growth through commitment can secure a future for the children of this very poor area—just steps away from where many spend their holidays. But the school was just the beginning. It sparked a series of projects and initiatives that we continue to pursue and for which we ask the support of everyone who believes in the endless potential of people.
Not mere charity: responsible support, right here on their land.
