Why Paparemo

Watamu's beach club for beach days, dinner and Saturday nights

Paparemo Beach sits on Love Island Beach — a beach club, an Italian restaurant and pizzeria, and the biggest weekly beach party on the Kenyan coast, all on one stretch of white sand.

Come for a day bed and a swim in the lagoon, stay for grilled lobster and wood-fired pizza, and on Saturday join a thousand people dancing barefoot with resident DJ Delph. Locals, Nairobi weekenders and visitors from Italy have made it Watamu's answer to "where tonight?"
