"Magical Malindi" is just as it is named with breath taking views, absolute privacy, a feeling that you are a million miles from nowhere and yet only minutes from the picturesque village of Montville.

Malindi is an outdoor and nature enthusiast's haven, far from any main roads the only sounds that you hear are those of the abundant birdlife in the area. We have a list of over 70 species of birds spotted from Malindi.
