mnarani BEACH CLUB
Mnarani Beach Club
60km north of Mombasa, where Kilifi Creek meets the Indian Ocean.
Mnarani Beach Club hosted the 2003 Fireball Worlds and remains the beating heart of sailing on this stretch of coast. Set across 40 acres of tropical gardens on the cliffs above Kilifi Creek, it offers the beach and turquoise ocean on one side and the adventure of creek life on the other - with the racing fleet launching straight off its own sand.
The hotel has over 80 rooms, restaurants, swimming pools and its own beach. Sea temperature is typically 28°C / 82°F.
3 Degrees South Sailing School is on the beach with Lasers, Picos, Bahias and kayaks. An hour's use is included in your room rate each day.

Every room has air conditioning, a mini fridge, safe and balcony or terrace, and there's a private Guest House that sleeps 8 for larger groups. 76 rooms in total sleep up to 128 guests, so crews can book blocks together.
Special Rates are being negotiated for the Championships.
Racing off the beach, water sports on tap
3 Degrees South's RYA-accredited sailing and windsurfing centre sits right on the beach, alongside PADI scuba diving, kayaking, paddle boarding, water skiing, wakeboarding and deep sea fishing. Wind down with a sunset dhow cruise through the Creek's mangroves, or a snorkelling safari out to the reef.
Dining with a creek view
The Main Restaurant serves breakfast, lunch and dinner buffet and à la carte from 07h00 to 22h00, with a Beach Restaurant open through the day. B&B, Half Board and Full Board packages are all available, plus a Traditional Kenyan Buffet night and regular beach barbecues. Vegetarian, vegan and halaal catering can be arranged.
Unwind at Mbali Day Spa
Facials, massages, manicures, pedicures, waxing and henna are all on offer at the on-site Mbali Day Spa - a good way to recover between race days, or to keep non-sailing guests entertained.
Space to gather, on the beach or under cover
From the Main and Beach Bars to the Giriama Hall's conference and banqueting space for up to 380, Mnarani has the room for prize-givings, briefings and social events alongside the racing.
