Tarangau Retreat

A Coastal Sanctuary in Kilifi

Tarangau Retreat is a hidden gem on Kenya's north coast, nestled in the lush greenery of Kilifi. This intimate property offers a serene escape from the world, where the pace slows and the Indian Ocean breeze provides natural air conditioning.

Kilifi has become known as Kenya's creative coast, attracting artists, wellness seekers, and travellers looking for something more authentic than the typical beach resort experience. Tarangau embodies this spirit, with thoughtfully designed spaces that blend indoor and outdoor living, surrounded by tropical gardens.

The retreat offers a genuine sense of place, with locally-inspired cuisine, connections to the surrounding community, and easy access to Kilifi's growing scene of restaurants, markets, and cultural experiences. It's the perfect base for exploring this stretch of coast, or simply for doing nothing at all.
