The place

Built for long, slow coastal days

Barizi sits just off the main Mtwapa road, far enough back that you hear birds instead of matatus. Twelve apartments wrap around a central pool courtyard, each one finished in warm timber, cane and terracotta tile β€” the kind of place you unpack into rather than live out of a suitcase.

Every unit is fully self-catering with a proper kitchen, so you can shop at the Mtwapa market and cook, or walk eight minutes to the beach road for grilled fish.

  • 800 m to the beach β€” about a nine-minute walk, or two minutes by tuk-tuk.
  • Borehole water and a 10,000-litre tank β€” the taps work when the mains don't.
  • Inverter backup on every unit β€” lights, fans, fridge and WiFi ride through an outage.
  • Gated, guarded, CCTV β€” and safe parking inside the compound.
Full kitchen with oven, fridge and prep counter
The kitchen

A kitchen you'd actually cook in

Four-burner gas hob with an oven, a full-size fridge-freezer, microwave, kettle, toaster and enough pots, pans and knives to do a real meal for six. Filtered drinking water on tap, so you are not buying twenty-litre bottles all week.

Nakumatt-era habits die hard on the coast, so we leave you a starter pack: tea, coffee, sugar, salt, cooking oil and a bar of soap. The market and a supermarket are both under five minutes away.

What people tell us

β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…

We cooked most nights and still walked to the beach every morning. The kitchen had everything, down to a decent knife. Power cut on Thursday and we only found out from a neighbour.

Took the two-bedroom with my parents and two kids. Pool was clean every single morning and the gate is properly manned, which mattered to my mum more than the view.

Worked remotely for three weeks. WiFi held up for daily video calls. Mtwapa gets loud on Friday nights but the compound is set back enough that it didn't reach us.
