“Paradise”

Reviewed 10 April 2013

We stayed at Tijara Beach for four nights having spent eight days on safari. Having travelled for seven hours in a bumpy 4 x 4 the gates of paradise opened to reveal the most beautiful gardens and delightful cottages , although you could hardly call them cottages as they were very spacious ! Every little detail was special and the... More

“"Call Tijara if trip advisor says full"”

Reviewed 17 March 2013

Hard to believe you can find a hidden gem like this so close to the hustle and bustle of Mombassa. Hosts Ian and Larissa provided that "home away from home" atmosphere in this beautiful tropical setting. With only 5 cottages there is no shortage of peace and quiet and we thoroughly enjoyed our days snorkelling through the large tidal pool.... More

“Tijara Beach, Kenya”

Reviewed 24 February 2013

Ian and Larissa have created paradise. The scenery changes with the tide to reveal beautiful landscapes for walking and snorkelling, or just watching the fisherman go out. The breezes float through the cottage, and the 'outdoor' bathroom was fun! And when you feel like a coffee or a gin and tonic, just ring for Frank who will bring it to... More

Tijara has it all: beauty, tranquility and an incomparable personalised hospitality.
