Our Beginning

Papa Remo Beach was established in 1997 by Remo Lenzi, an Italian with a passion for the Kenyan coast. The story begins when Remo first visited Watamu and fell in love with its pristine beaches and warm community.

Determined to create something special, Remo lived in a tent for a year to fully immerse himself in the African experience and understand the local culture. This dedication and respect for the environment and community became the foundation of Papa Remo Beach.

Growth and Evolution

What started as a simple beach bar has evolved into a beloved destination offering a restaurant, beach club, event venue, and more. Over the years, Papa Remo has maintained its commitment to providing exceptional experiences while preserving the natural beauty of Watamu.

The location has become known for its Saturday beach parties, featuring local DJs and creating a vibrant atmosphere that brings together locals and tourists alike.

Our Philosophy

At Papa Remo Beach, we believe in creating a space where people can connect with nature, enjoy delicious food and drinks, and create lasting memories. Our philosophy is rooted in respect for the environment, support for the local community, and providing exceptional service to our guests.

We strive to offer a unique blend of Italian and Kenyan influences, creating a cultural experience that celebrates both traditions.
