The bubble lodges of The Rock & Sea are unlike any hotel room you have slept in. A transparent dome opens the whole night sky above your bed, while the mangrove forest hums softly around you. If you are dreaming of barefoot luxury on Mida Creek, here is what a night in the bubbles is really like.
Falling asleep under a million stars
From your pillow you watch the Milky Way arc over Mida Creek. There is no light pollution here, only the glow of the eco-bar and the moon on the water. It is the kind of quiet you feel more than hear.
Barefoot luxury, close to nature
Each bubble has a king-size bed, a private bathroom and an outdoor hot shower surrounded by greenery. Our Baobab Bubble Lodge sits beneath an ancient baobab, while the Lagoon Bubble Lodge opens straight onto the creek. In the morning, breakfast can be served on your terrace as monkeys move through the cashew trees.
Make a night into a stay
Pair your bubble with a sunset dhow safari and dinner at our panoramic restaurant, carved into the coral rock above the sea. It is the fullest way to experience Watamu.
Wake before dawn at least once: the sunrise over the creek, seen from inside the bubble, is worth the early alarm.
