About the Property
Best Boutique Hotel on Bofa Beach, Kilifi
Maya Kobe is a Balinese-inspired luxury boutique hotel sitting directly on Bofa Beach in Kilifi — one of Kenya's most breathtaking stretches of coastline. Five ocean suites are wrapped in rich textures, natural materials and panoramic Indian Ocean views, creating a setting that feels both intimate and effortlessly indulgent.
At the heart of the property, a 20-metre beachfront swimming pool leads directly onto the white sand beach. A spacious gazebo hangs over the water's edge, while private beachfront massage huts offer wellness without leaving the estate. Every detail — from the Balinese craftsmanship to the chef-led dining — is curated to surpass expectation.
Maya Kobe is available for individual suite stays — perfect for couples and intimate groups — or as a full property buyout for up to 12 guests. The Prestige Suite, a self-contained two-bedroom sanctuary with its own private pool and open-air bathtub, adds another four guests to make a total of 16 when the whole estate is yours.
