The Jacaranda Indian Ocean Beach Club is one of Kenyas newest hotels, with all the hallmarks of one of the finest. It is located 25 miles south of Mombasa town, and situated in a prime location on a quiet stretch of white sandy beach, bordering a marine park on the Indian Ocean. Indian Ocean Beach Club is designed in Swahili architecture, and is adjacent to history, next to a 16 century Mosque. Once there, check out the century old chandelier given to the Sultan of Zanzibar by British traders for landing rights, and move through to the gardens to examine the six hundred year old baobab tree. The pounding of the surf, the background rasp of cicadas and the rhythmic waft of your ceiling fan all conspire to make you let go and relax.
