Fly-In Getaway Packages
Sometimes the reason is just that you needed to leave.
No milestone required. This package picks you up from home or your hotel in Nairobi in good time for your flight, gets you from Nairobi to Malindi in just over an hour on Jambojet, and has a transfer waiting to carry you the short drive up the coast into Watamu, so there's barely a gap between deciding to go and actually being there.
You will stay at Hemingways Watamu, on Turtle Bay with direct beach access, an infinity pool, and understated, polished service, exactly the kind of place that makes doing nothing in particular feel like the whole point.
Two full days is enough to properly disconnect: a boat out to the reef, a couples spa treatment, a private dinner or a sunset dhow across Mida Creek, and long stretches of time with nowhere in particular to be.

Package Itinerary
The package itinerary is as follows
3-Day Flying Getaway Itinerary to Watamu with Baecation Adventures from Nairobi.
Day 1: Gone, Just Like That A private transfer collects you from home or your hotel in Nairobi and delivers you to JKIA in good time for your flight. A Jambojet flight lifts off and touches down at Malindi Airport a little over an hour later. A transfer carries you the short drive north into Watamu, roughly 25 to 30 minutes, and by early afternoon you are checking in at Hemingways Watamu, right on Turtle Bay. The rest of the day is yours: a first swim in the infinity pool or the sea, and a relaxed dinner together as the sun goes down.
Day 2: Nowhere To Be A full day with nothing scheduled. Spend the morning on the water with a snorkel or a Watamu Marine National Park boat trip, or head inland to the Bio-Ken Snake Farm, the Kipepeo Butterfly Project, or the Mida Creek Boardwalk for a change of pace. Add a couples spa treatment in the afternoon, and as evening comes, step aboard a sunset dhow across Mida Creek, or have us set up a private dinner on the beach.
Day 3: One Last Morning, Then Home Sleep in, take a final swim, or have a slow breakfast by the water before your transfer back to Malindi Airport for the flight home. A private transfer meets you at JKIA and drops you back home or at your hotel, the whole thing over almost before it started, and worth it anyway.
