THE NOBU VIEW

The stay

Villa Kiva combines a Matemwe beachfront, gardens, pool and characterful rooms with sea-facing dining. Couples can choose circular rooms or suites; families have a connecting-room option with separate bathrooms.

Villa Kiva gives a Matemwe beach stay a distinctive choice of rooms, from circular sea-facing accommodation to garden rooms and larger suites. The setting combines beach access, planted grounds and an outdoor pool, with dining arranged to make the most of the coast. Guests can choose an oceanfront veranda table, sit in the garden or dine with their feet in the sand.

Room character is an important part of the appeal. Upper-floor categories offer balconies and a more elevated outlook, while ground-floor Sea View rooms open onto verandas close to the beach. The Family Room is especially useful for parents who want two connected bedrooms with separate bathrooms.

The restaurant draws on Swahili and European cooking with Italian touches, supported by Masai Bar and a garden spa.
