This place is always perfect in everything. Location perfect, with beautiful beachfront. However, the rooms and service is exemplary and first class. You can't regret being in this place.

Silver Palm Spa & Resort, along Bofa Road in Kilifi, is where the Kenyan coast feels personal. This 38‐room, family‐owned escape opened in April 2017 and carries the essence of local artistry in every corner. Each room features original work by a Kenyan painter and bespoke furniture built by Kilifi's own carpenters, all hand‐selected by the owners to support the community. Sustainability flows through its design—natural materials, airy layouts, and private living spaces that sit in harmony with the coastal landscape, offering a home away from home. Kilifi itself is a serene coastal town, where white‐sand beaches meet the tranquil waters of Kilifi Creek, traditional dhow sails drift past, and Swahili and Mijikenda heritage hum softly in the background. It is a place for unhurried discovery—sun‐dappled mangroves, ancient ruins, and the easy rhythm of coastal life. Before the sun melts into the Indian Ocean, indulge in their signature grilled fillet of red snapper, paired with spring onions, capers, micro herbs, a touch of horseradish and a dollop of crème fraîche at the Forodhani Bar & Restaurant—a perfect taste of the coast.

Back again, and wow! To be completely sincere, I have never felt as genuinely special at any other resort in the world as I have at Silver Palms Kilifi. Even with the resort fully booked, your team has somehow up-ed the game: no signs of fatigue, just warmth, calm efficiency, and an even stronger effort to keep guests engaged. The extra activities and events you organized were such a thoughtful touch — they kept guests entertained, connected, and truly feeling “hosted,” not just accommodated. It takes a special kind of team to deliver that level of energy and attention when the place is full, and you did it effortlessly. I also wanted to share that my recommendation didn’t stop with me: a friend I referred to Silver Palms has already visited and absolutely enjoyed the experience. And in sha Allah, another friend we’ve recommended is planning to visit in July 2026 — I’m confident they’ll be in great hands. Please pass my appreciation to the entire team — front office, housekeeping, Spa team, restaurant staff, activities crew, and everyone behind the scenes. You’ve created something rare, and it keeps getting better each time.

If there is one place in Kilifi where nature seems to pause and smile, it is Silver Palm. The moment you walk through its gates, the manicured lawns greet you like a scene from a postcard, lush, vibrant, and impossibly perfect. Every flower looks as though it woke up early just to impress you. Set along the stunning Bofa beach, Silver Palm carries the rhythm of the ocean in its soul. The waves hum softly in the background, and the breeze that sweeps in from the shoreline feels like nature’s own embrace, cool, calming and endlessly refreshing. For moments of pure indulgence, the spa wraps you in serenity, while the gym offers a space where even a workout feels luxurious. But the real magic? The food. Their pizza is crafted with a charm you can taste in every bite, and the lobster... well, it simply steals the show. The swimming pool is an architectural masterpiece that you can’t forget. It is amazing how some rooms exit to the pool from the back door. Silver Palm isn’t just a destination, it’s an experience. A coastal escape where beauty, comfort, and flavor come together. Be there, and let Kilifi’s magic find you.

I went during low season and stayed during the week. I liked the quiet and calm. The staff was friendly, the food was good. The room was spacious and clean. Everything is generally well maintained. I enjoyed my stay and would consider visiting again.
