Christmas and New Year on Kenya’s North Coast Celebrate Christmas or welcome the New Year beside Kenya’s Indian Ocean. This six-day coastal break by Alipsa Ventures is designed for couples, families and friends who would like a relaxed festive holiday with the convenience of return flights from Nairobi. Choose a resort in Watamu or Malindi, enjoy five nights by the sea, and decide how much of your holiday to spend unwinding or exploring. Watamu is loved for its long sandy shore, coral reefs, marine activities and easy-going beach atmosphere. Malindi offers a different coastal personality, with historic landmarks, colourful town life and resort hideaways.
