Nyali Beach Hotel was Mombasa's first Kenya's beach hotel on the mainland and had the pick of location. Founded by John and Eva Noon it opened in December 1946. It soon gained a reputation for first class hospitality and excellence which endures to this day.

Set amid 20 acres of flamboyant tropical gardens, the hotel has been extensively refurbished and modernized while still retaining its period charm. Your first impression is of cool, whitewashed walls and tiled floors. There are ceiling fans, potted palms, stately marble and wicker furniture. The atmosphere is laid back and comfortable and the ambience very Casablanca.
