Romantic Honeymoon in Kenya, Nairobi Safari Beach Escape

Between designing the seating plan, writing speeches and navigating last-minute wedding details, the lead-up to a wedding can be busy and overwhelming. Choosing a honeymoon where the itinerary is thoughtfully planned for you, and all you need to do is pack a few outfits for romantic photos against Kenya’s vibrant landscapes, is the perfect antidote.

The Hemingways Collection offers an effortless blend of luxury, intimacy and unforgettable experiences for honeymooners. Here’s just a glimpse of what awaits on this carefully curated 10-day romantic getaway.

Day 1 & 2: Eden Residence, Nairobi

Start your honeymoon at Eden Residence, where you can slow down after the wedding rush in a leafy green forest setting. Unwind in your suite, surrounded by curated art, or soak up the warm sunshine from your private balcony. 

A visit to the Giraffe Sanctuary, a day trip to Nairobi National Park, or a relaxing couples’ massage makes your time here even more memorable.

Day 3–5: River Camp Mara, Maasai Mara

You and your beloved will then fly from Nairobi into the breathtaking Maasai Mara and settle into an intimate tented retreat set along the banks of the Njageteck River. Each private luxury tent offers the ultimate comfort and uninterrupted views of the surrounding plains. 

Days revolve around private game drives with expert guides, where every sighting is given the time it deserves. Those seeking a different view can opt for a sunrise hot air balloon ride and look forward to evenings spent by the fire with a glass of wine or a candlelit bush dinner.

Day 6 - 10: Watamu, North Coast

After the adventure of the safari, couples will head to the coast for a beach escape at Hemingways Watamu on Kenya’s north coast. With spacious suites overlooking the ocean and soft coastal breezes rolling in, this retreat encourages pure relaxation.

Spend your time sailing into the sunset on a traditional dhow, indulging in soothing spa treatments for two, or enjoying freshly prepared seafood dinners on the terrace as the sky turns pink and gold. 

For those seeking a little more adventure, snorkelling in the coral gardens or strolling along Turtle Bay Beach adds another layer of magic to this romantic escape.
