Salty's KiteSurf Village, Beach Bar and Restaurant
Ranked in Best Beach Resorts in Kilifi
About
Down-to-earth guesthouse offering direct beach access, lounges & a restaurant/bar.
This barefoot beach spot on Bofa Beach is kid and pet friendly with a playground. The quesadillas are fresh, but when it gets busy the kitchen falls apart—come during off-hours to avoid the two-hour wait.

An amazing spot with a truly perfect location. The team is warm, helpful, and makes you feel at home from the first minute. Relaxed, friendly, and effortlessly well-run. Highly recommended.

Salty’s on the Creek delivers an unforgettable sundowner dining experience on the water, with a unique floating restaurant setting on Mnarani Creek that combines nature, seafood and views for a truly special outing. From the moment you arrive by boat, the atmosphere wooden decks over the water, soft lights, relaxed vibe and gentle waves beneath sets a tranquil yet vibrant tone ideal for sunset dinners, chilled drinks or a laid-back evening with friends. The menu focuses on fresh seafood and coastal flavours, perfectly matched with refreshing cocktails and mocktails each dish prepared with care and served in generous portions. Add to that warm, friendly, attentive service #EatOutApproved!

🌊 Six Years of Wind, Waves & Community 🌴 @saltys.kite.village just turned 6 — and I finally made it here for the very first time! From a small kitesurf village on Bofa Beach to a full-on family of coastal experiences, Salty’s blends everything you love about Kilifi: a well-equipped kitesurf learning centre, tasteful & affordable stays, and a chilled beach bar and restaurant perched right on the sand. The food? 🌱 Fresh, flavoursome, and made with heart. We tried the chickpea curry (so punchy and comforting) and Swahili fish with rice — both full of colour and creativity. Our golden-hour cocktails (passion + mango = magic) sealed the deal. 🍹✨ The sea-facing deck is perfect for groups — bean bags, cozy corners, free WiFi, and that endless ocean view. Whether you’re catching wind, waves, or just vibes — this is where the coast comes alive. 💨🌊 🍽️ Name: @saltys.kite.village 📍 Location: Bofa Beach, Kilifi 🌾 Gluten Free Options: A few (some adaptable) 🌱 100% Vegan Business: No 🍴 Cuisine: Continental 🌍 Sustainability: Uses eco-friendly packaging 👨🍳 Owners: A British collective. ♿️ Wheelchair friendly: Yes 🐶 Dog friendly: Yes . #BofaBeach #AnniversaryWeekend #CoastalMagic #SaltysKiteTribe #TheNomadicRasta #KilifiEats #KilifiRestaurants #SaltysKiteVillage #StaySalty #SaltysTurns6 #GroovinFor6EpicYears #SaltysFamily #KilifiVibes #SaltysGroup

Absolutely loved the experience. It's a barefoot beach restaurant. It is a perfect place to chill as you watch the ocean. It is kid and pet friendly. They have a playground for kids. It's is absolutely beautiful during the day. I didn't like the food not because it was not golf but I felt like it was not very coastal..I mean I can get the same food in Nairobi..although I really like their double patty beef burger and hibiscus lemonade.

They have a small menu, which offers a delicious variety. We ordered the quesadillas first and they were fresh and delicious. We then ordered our main course, which took nearly two hours. When we questioned where our food was they just told us the kitchen was busy. The place falls apart when it gets busy. One member of staff tried to make us move because they wanted to muscle in a bigger group of people for lunch. Certainly felt like when the bigger groups came and more money. Smaller groups didn’t seem important in anyway. Disappointing angle on what is a decent place and nice food.
