New Gillani Hotel: Nice Gaff

This hotel is in a great position just up from the main beach in Malindi. First time I came to Malindi I stayed here when it was the Gillani Hotel in 1990 and after many years it had a brief spell as the Gossip Hotel but now is back in the hands of the matriarchal Mama Gillani. Most of the best rooms are on the 2nd floor at the front with balconies and any number of enormous beds.

Prices can vary depending on things such as whether breakfast is included but have a word with Mama she is more flexible than she may first appear.

Unique Quality: Its worth staying here just to sleep in the enormous swahili beds, or possibly for the great views across the bay from your balcony.

Scorpio villas: the largest bed in kenya

We ended up staying at the Scorpio villas because it was part of the package - and we quite enjoyed it: it has a large tropical garden and some interesting wooden sculptures in the garden. There are also three salt-water swimming-pools. The sea is only about 200 metres away.

Unique Quality: What's really unique is the canopy bed: huge! It was like three beds in one - with a mosquito-net and furniture in traditional Lamu style. The other amazing thing was the private veranda, with a soft sofa and table, and a larger breakfast table with chairs
