A private beach house on the Kilifi coast north of Mombasa, Swahili architecture over the Indian Ocean, taken in exclusive use with staff, a dhow and a reef of your own.
On the Kilifi coast, where the Indian Ocean meets the Swahili shore, Sirai Beach is a private house of coral-rag walls and makuti thatch, open to the sea breeze and taken by one party at a time.
You take the whole house, its suites, its pool, its stretch of sand, with a chef, a housekeeper and a dhow, and the reef, the creek and the coast’s culture at the door. It is the beach counterpart to a Kenyan safari.
Every experience begins with a single click. Tell us when and with who and we'll design a world around you.
Suites are built in coral rag and makuti thatch, open-sided in the Swahili way, with the trade winds moving through and the ocean filling the view. A pool sits above the sand.
Taken exclusively, the house is yours; a chef and housekeeper run it for your party alone.
A chef cooks to your party alone: Swahili spice and coastal seafood, tropical fruit, coconut and lime, on the terrace, on the sand, or aboard the dhow.
There is no menu but yours; a dhow lunch or a beach dinner needs only a word.
The house dhow takes you out to sail, snorkel and fish; the reef is a short swim or boat away, and the Kilifi creek opens for kayaking and sundowners.
Ashore, Swahili villages, ruins and the coast’s culture are close; your designer sets the dhow days and the reef trips.
Treatments are arranged in a beach sala or on your terrace, and the house’s open, breezy calm does much of the work.
Yoga on the sand, a swim at dawn, and the warm ocean handle the rest.
Sirai staffs the house with a chef, housekeeper and dhow crew from the coast, warm and expert, treating your party as the house’s own.
Behind them sits your Satopia travel designer, who holds the house, times the safari link and stays one call away throughout.
North of Mombasa the coast keeps its Swahili soul, coral houses, dhows, spice and trade-wind calm, the perfect counterpoint to the drama of the parks inland.
Sirai Beach gives you a private house on it, and the classic Kenyan pairing of bush then beach.
Everything here is to help you picture it. Your travel designer handles the arranging: the flights, the cars, the guides, the tents held for you alone.
A whole house on the sand, a dhow and a reef, the classic Kenyan finish to a safari.

A private beach house for a milestone, staffed and catered.
Sailing, snorkelling and Swahili culture, from your own stretch of sand.

The Satopia Advantage™
We hold the relationship with Sirai Beach, so we can take the house in exclusive use for your party on your dates, and pair it with a safari. From there a single travel designer composes every day around you. You simply arrive.
The whole house, and its team, held for your party and the season. The access a direct booking rarely reaches.
Every day composed by one travel designer: the reef and the dhow, the safari link and the transfers, present when wanted, unseen when not.
Drawn from recent guests.
Kilifi’s coastal pace rewards a slower arrival, so build in a buffer day before plans begin. The cool sea breeze and Indian Ocean views are best enjoyed once you have properly unwound from travel. Ask your host to plan the first evening around a relaxed seafood dinner rather than an activity.
The seafood here is consistently the detail people remember most, so ask for a dedicated seafood evening rather than leaving it to chance. Let the crew guide the menu and timing around the catch of the day. It tends to become the highlight shared with family and friends long after the trip ends.
Kenya is bush and beach in one trip. A few we would pair the house with, each arranged as one seamless experience.
The classic pairing: big cats and the migration inland, then the coast to unwind.
