Tamu means sweet.

Restaurant & Beach Club on the beach

White sand underfoot, the day's catch on the grill, and water in every shade of blue.

ta·mu / adj. Swahili

Sweet, delicious, pleasant. It's the word locals use for a perfect mango, a good song, an easy afternoon. We built a beach club around it — open every day from morning coffee to the last sundowner.

The Restaurant

Long lunches,
Love Island in view.

A handful of tables and never a crowd. Settle in above the lagoon, Love Island just across the water, and let us look after the rest — great food, unhurried, with the quiet, attentive service that makes every table feel like the best one in Watamu.

Kitchen open daily · 12:00 — 22:00 · Bar until late
