TRANQUIL COVE

Just below the infinity pool lies a tranquil cove of soft white sand where guests can swim in warm Indian Ocean waters and enjoy snorkelling straight from the beach. Scuba diving, kite surfing and stand-up paddle boarding can be easily arranged, and you can even explore the nearby mangrove swamps aboard the hotel’s own traditional dhow. Otherwise, indulge in a massage, sip on a freshly cut coconut from a nearby palm tree and enjoy the hotel’s warm Swahili hospitality. The cuisine is excellent with an emphasis on fresh seafood.

“SERVICE THAT GOES THE EXTRA MILE”

The service we received from The Ultimate Travel Company was second to none. Tania took the time to understand exactly what we wanted and helped us explore every option clearly and thoroughly. Her first-hand knowledge of Kenya and safaris made a real difference – she explained everything brilliantly. The thoughtful extras, like the travel wallet and documents, were such a lovely touch – especially for someone who loves to travel well-organised! Thank you so much. We’ll definitely be back for future adventures.

“PROFESSIONAL, PERSONAL – AND A REAL PLEASURE”
From the moment we got in touch, everything felt smooth and well looked after. The team were not only professional and thorough – providing tailored suggestions with clear costings – but also genuinely friendly. Even after we returned, a follow-up email (and a bottle of wine!) showed just how thoughtful Ultimate Travel really is. Nothing was too much trouble. We already have more trips booked and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them.

“TRIP TO THE TOP OF THE WORLD”
Everything about our trip was excellent. While it’s a considered investment, the service more than justifies the cost. We loved the accommodation – beautifully chosen and thoughtfully located. Our guides ranged from grear to truly exceptional. And the places we visited? They exceeded all expectations. Peru is an extraordinarily beautiful country, and this journey gave us a real sense of its wonder.
