Pinewood Village

Pinewood Village l Mombasa l Beach deck

Pinewood Village is an award winning boutique hotel, situated on beautiful Galu Beach, 1 hour south of Mombasa. Pinewood is a firm favourite with couples, honeymooners, friends and families alike and offers exceptional service and personal attention along with a myriad of watersports on the warm Indian Ocean. Savour the natural beauty of the area as you enjoy the magical sunset or a sumptuous meal prepared with the freshest ingredients. Pinewood is renowned for its culinary excellence - seafood is of course a speciality, as are meals prepared with the pickings from the local vegetable garden.

Accommodation takes the form of 38 rooms and 20 suites scattered around the garden in small clusters. The Deluxe rooms are spacious and are situated on the first floor, giving you views of the lush gardens from your balcony. The rooms are equipped with king size beds, mosquito nets, air conditioning, tea / coffee making facilities, minibar and telephone. The Suites come with a tantalizing bonus: a personal chef to prepare gourmet evening meals in your kitchen! The suites also have large verandahs and are situated on the ground floor.

Watersports are the focus of activities at Pinewood, and with good reason. Pinewood and Galu Beach is where Aqualand is based – this is a 5* watersports centre aimed at providing Pinewood guests with the latest and most exciting sporting options. The Galu Beach area was chosen specifically as it’s still relatively undeveloped, providing guests with a beautiful, unspoilt and safe beach from where to launch their aquatic explorations. Scuba diving is without a doubt the highlight and whale sharks are known to traverse an area very close to Aqualand! Other options include kite surfing, windsurfing, snorkelling, big game fishing and a range of ocean craft for your enjoyment.

For the less active, enjoy a massage or beauty treatment at Amani Spa – relax and let the qualified therapists soothe away the stresses of modern life. There is also a fully equipped gym and Zawadi Boutique promises hours of shopping pleasure with its offerings of jewellery, paintings and hand crafted Masaai items. The lush gardens surrounding Pinewood and the forest area to the north is a birder’s haven, so grab your binoculars and get exploring!
