Kilifi Retreat, 2BR + Pool – Island at Bofa

Private pool for the 3 separate units in the property, two ensuite marble bedrooms, and a 17-minute walk to Bofa Beach. Most Kilifi rentals in this range are shared-bathroom, here you get two full ensuite marble bathrooms, AC in every room. The Retreat is where families and groups land and actually settle in. Two ensuite bedrooms, AC throughout, a full kitchen, and a dining table big enough for everyone to share a meal. Sit by the pool under the tall trees and you feel properly immersed in nature. Walk the main road to Bofa Beach past local life along the way — this isn't just a vacation, it's a real taste of Kilifi. Come as a family, leave as one that actually got to relax.


Two bedrooms, each with their own queen bed, marble ensuite bathroom, and clothing shelf — so everyone arrives with a suitcase and leaves without having shared a bathroom once.
The main bedroom is the larger of the two — generous enough for an armchair to sit in naturally, a working desk for anyone who needs to stay connected, and a tall plant that makes the room feel alive. Marble floors, clean lines, properly finished.
The second bedroom is quaint and considered — a queen bed, its own marble ensuite, clothing shelf, and a view of the pool and gazebo that makes waking up genuinely pleasant. Smaller but not lesser — it has its own charm.
The living area brings everything together — sofa, dining table, and a plant that adds warmth to the space. Marble floors run throughout, keeping every room cool and elegant underfoot.
Step onto the private patio and the pool, gazebo, and tree-lined walkway open up in front of you. The full kitchen means you can cook when you want to, eat out when you don't.
The compound is gated and secure. Pool access is right outside the door.
The villa is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and 2 bathrooms, and there's space to spread out with 2 bedrooms. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a private pool, an electric kettle, and a dining table. Change of towels is available on request.
