Overlooking the blue waters of the Indian Ocean, the Driftwood Beach Club is located on a beautiful tropical palm fringed beach just south of Malindi on the Kenyan coast. Established over 40 years ago, the Driftwood has preserved the essence of a traditional Kenyan beach holiday - tranquil, informal, fun and relaxed. This unique accommodation offers sea view dining, the best pub in town and wonderful fresh seafood. It combines hospitality, relaxation and informality - all at its best! It also offers world class deep sea fishing and adventurous Scuba diving.
The accommodation at the Driftwood Beach Club is stylish and comfortable with a range of options to choose from, Individual cottages, Superior Luxury Cottages and our Villas, so you can tailor make your perfect beach holiday.
All rooms are air-conditioned and en-suite with spacious mosquito nets and are individually situated in the lush tropical gardens, all with easy access to the pool and seconds from the ocean
Cottage - Each individual cottage is nestled in our beautiful tropical gardens set amongst the palm trees. The thatched (makuti) roof is a typical Kenyan coastal feature and the verandah gives you a chance to relax in peace and quiet and is perfect for an evening sundowner.
They are all air-conditioned, en-suite with a large mosquito net surrounding the bed and have safety deposit boxes. No two cottages are alike and all are equally charming.
Villas - Named after islands in the Lamu archipelago on Kenya's north coast - Pate, Kiwayu and Shela are the three exclusive villas. Situated in an attractive walled tropical garden, they are only 2 minutes from the beach. Each villa has two large air-conditioned, en-suite bedrooms with large mosquito nets. They are also equipped with ceiling fans for those who prefer not to use air-conditioning. They have a light and airy, spacious sitting room and a small kitchenette. Each one overlooks the private pool and each villa has a seating/sunbathing area immediately in front of it.
Superio Cottage - The two luxury superior cottages, Manda and Lamu, also take their name from islands in the Lamu archipelago on the north coast of Kenya. Each cottage has two spacious rooms, air-conditioned and en-suite. Every room is furnished with spacious mosquito nets. Each luxury cottage has a lounge, bar, fridge and verandah overlooking the private swimming pool. Set in their own tropical garden only seconds away from the beach, these luxury cottages are perfect for increased privacy and seclusion.
