Private beach ceremonies in Kilifi and Watamu — exclusive-use properties directly on the Indian Ocean, with full wedding planning and accommodation for every guest.
Every Tribal Sand property sits directly on the Indian Ocean, and every one can be taken exclusively. That means your ceremony, your reception and your guests all share a single private beachfront venue — no other guests, no shared spaces, no fixed timetable set by a hotel.
Say your vows on the sand at Bofa Beach in Kilifi, on the coral-fringed shore at Watamu, or on a private estate in Vipingo. Our team handles the licence paperwork, catering, decor, photography, music and transfers — and your whole party sleeps on site.
