Villas-Watamu Resort - Casino Watamu

There are several resort towns falling under the umbrella of Malindi district, which include Malindi, Mambrui and Watamu. Watamu is about 20 minutes south of the district proper, but close enough to take advantage of everything in the surrounding region as well as the things specific to the town, which has its own beaches and attractions. What was once a tiny fishing village is now a beautiful tourist destination and home to some upscale residences due to the presence of its white sand beaches. The most beautiful part would be the coral reef outcroppings. Take advantage of the shallow waters by snorkeling and swimming or going out deeper for scuba diving and wind sailing. Hit up some local attractions like the snake and crocodile farms and butterfly pavilion or consider the more adventurous approach to seeing the local wildlife by booking a safari.

Gaming

The casino can be found between Watamu Bay and Blue Lagoon and offers both slot machines and table games, which include blackjack, punto banco, 3 card, Texas Hold’em, Oasis poker, pontoon and roulette. Ask about bingo sessions also held at the casino. Between the slots, cards, roulette and bingo, you’ve ample chances to pad your wallet for that ideal Kenyan safari, or perhaps just to fund a night out for drinks and dinner or an afternoon of shopping.
