“A firm favourite with Waveriders guests – Galu beach offers charming accommodation right on the beach in an environment completely geared up to kitesurfing. Even the rooms are named after kites!”

A breathtaking position on one of the world’s most beautiful beaches, This destination offers the picture-postcard tropical getaway – palm trees, deserted white sand beaches, warm shimmering waters and a relaxed atmosphere. Here the vibe is much quieter than its sister beaches – the focus is simply the tranquil beauty of your surroundings.

Galu Beach has become a kitesurfer’s sanctuary after its original owners retired and their children took over the property and decided to combine their passion for the ocean with their business. The result is a unique blend of individually designed and furnished accommodation and a fantastic year round kitesurf destination.

Galu Beach is a great place for all levels of kitesurfer – from absolute beginners learning in the flat waters inside the reef through to more experienced riders heading out to the reef to play on the wave that frequently forms here.

The real magic of a holiday to Kenya doesn’t just stop with the kiting – the tropical waters offer up a host of other activities from enjoying the marine life either by snorkelling, diving or sport fishing. Many of our guests also take the opportunity to break up their holiday with 2-3 day safari in Tsavo National park a couple of hours drive away, one of the world’s most famous safari destinations.

As the sun goes down, your holiday activities and entertainment off the water are local to your hotel where you can enjoy a choice of restaurants, bars, entertainment and facilities.
