About this property
Villa San Lorenzo - Dunia Resort by Rafiki Tamu Residential Resort
- 🌺 Welcome to our little corner of paradise in Watamu! 🌺
A unique villa in African style, decorated with local art, Maasai statues, and warm colours that will envelop you.
Two cosy bedrooms, a fully equipped kitchen, and a patio that opens onto a huge pool surrounded by palm trees 🌴 and bougainvillea 🌸.
Relaxation, comfort, and tropical charm are the keywords for your stay at Villa San Lorenzo.
With a private chef, Wi-Fi, air conditioning, 24-hour Maasai security, and a host who’s always available, you’ll experience authentic Africa...
🫶🏾 and you’ll never want to leave 🫶🏻
❣️ Why choose Villa San Lorenzo? ❣️
💫 Because Villa San Lorenzo isn’t just a home—it’s an experience, an emotion, a little African dream come to life.
Here you’ll find the comfort of a villa where every detail has been carefully attended to, the authenticity of Kenyan culture, and the warm welcome of those who truly love this place.
Every corner tells a storey: one of love for Kenya and a special bond, born under the stars on the night of San Lorenzo, dedicated to my father.
Staying here means experiencing the magic of Africa with your whole soul—amidst nature, relaxation, tropical scents, and endless skies filled with dreams.
Villa San Lorenzo is the place where you’ll immediately feel at home, where every moment becomes a precious memory, and where you can rediscover the beauty of simple, authentic, and genuine things. 🌴✨
🌟Villa San Lorenzo was born out of a deep love for Kenya. During my first trip there, I fell in love with the country and decided to buy this house to share with guests the same emotion I felt.
The villa’s name is a tribute to my father, who passed away on August 10, 2023—the night of San Lorenzo, a night of shooting stars and wishes.
