About

Kenyan classics with a modern twist — the nyama choma comes with creative sides, and the cocktails are inventive. It's Instagram-pretty but the food backs it up, and service is sharp. Best for groups who want elevated Kenyan food in a lively setting downtown.

    A gem waiting to shine again I absolutely love this gym and what it represents for Malindi. But lately? It’s been forgotten — the electricity is often off, the equipment is minimal or missing, and it’s losing the spark that made it special. But if there’s one reason this gym is still standing, it’s Haron, the personal trainer. He’s incredible — professional, dedicated, and always pushing you to be your best. Honestly, he’s the soul of this gym and the reason people keep coming back. Please, we need the owner to step up! With Haron’s passion and some real investment and care from management, this could be the BEST gym on the coast. Don’t let this amazing place fade away — Malindi deserves it, and so does Haron.

    The gym was fantastic! The pool was clean and well maintained! The caretakers were so kind and ready to help. It was also very close to town, Naivas and several eateries. Highly recommend.

    Blue marlin resort is a wonderful place; and it had got a nice gym too. The staff of the resort and the gum is very friendly and helpful. Only that outsiders are not allowed for swimming there is a setback, otherwise it is beautiful!! 👏👏

    Wonderful gym, the best one in Malindi. Very affordable, and full of machines of every kind. The personal trainer, Haron, is professional, kind and always available . The staff is always kind and ... The beauty of the garden is simply amazing. The best way to train!

    The rooms are beautiful. And it has a wonderful old world feel. However, some amenities are in disrepair, and the oath to the beach is overgrown. That said it is great place, because it is right in the town center thus access to shops, banks and even bars is very easy.
