Average Guest Rating
Opened in 2025, Palm Beach Bar & Restaurant Watamu was created for people who love great coastal food, chilled music and easy-going beach vibes. Set right on the sand, it’s the kind of place where you can arrive in flip-flops and still feel like you’re somewhere special.
From sundowner cocktails and sharing platters with friends, to relaxed family lunches and late-night plans, we blend warm Kenyan hospitality with a laid-back Mediterranean– coastal feel. Every visit should feel like a mini holiday – even if you’re just popping in after work.

Guests Who Say They’ll Return
Palm Beach balances chilled beach energy with a serious love for flavour. We keep things simple: use quality ingredients, respect coastal traditions, and serve everything in an atmosphere that feels warm, relaxed and fun.
To be Watamu’s favourite beach hangout – where locals, travellers and families can eat well, sip something refreshing and enjoy the ocean without any pressure or pretense.
To grow Palm Beach into a signature coastal experience in Kenya – known for sunsets, music, friendly faces and memorable food long after the holiday is over.
Some nights are extra special at Palm Beach. From DJ sets and live bands to themed food & cocktail nights, we love giving Watamu a reason to dress up (or down) and enjoy the ocean after dark.
