world’s top family beach and safari destinations:

lows of 25 degrees

Pepo Poa overlooks an exquisite coral reef
on Kenya’s Indian Ocean coast. Outside
the ancient trading village of Msambweni,
this thoughtful and elegant development offers
exclusivity, security and sustainability only an hour’s
drive from Mombasa, Kenya’s first city.
Pepo Poa is quiet and unspoilt yet is close to the
romance of Mombasa’s Old Town and the modern
facilities of its business district. After rounding the
Cape, Vasco da Gama made his first base on Kenyan
soil here in 1498 but long before that, the East
African coastline had been part of a thriving trade
route that linked all the cities of the Indian Ocean
– Zanzibar, Java, Calicut, Muscat and far away Bali.
Spices, mangrove poles, copra and gold flowed
around the warm waters of the Indian Ocean in an
ever-revolving carousel, blown by the gentle and
steady winds that give Pepo Poa its name – Cool
Breeze in colloquial Kiswahili.
Pepo Poa’s seven sensational villas border a 50,000
square foot lake and a powder sand beach below the
coastal massif that forms the Shimba Hills National
Reserve:
• Pristine location
• Attention to detail
• Fanned by gentle trade winds
• Superior design
• Family homes that respect the environment
and sit comfortably in the local area
East Africa’s finest architects, decorators and
engineers have brought decades of experience
to bear on creating Pepo Poa. The designs for the
houses reflect the trade winds that sway the palms
on the beach and drive the dhows that first opened
up this coast to trade. Elements from Lamu, the
Persian Gulf, India and the Andamans have been
brought together in houses that exemplify the
Swahili culture of today.
Exceptionally spacious and airy, the villas at Pepo
Poa enhance a relaxed and easy lifestyle for you
and your family. All bedrooms, terraces and outside
living areas reflect the generosity that is integral to
the Swahili way of life:
• Private access beach
• Speedboat moorings
• Serviced infinity pools
• Round the clock security, CCTV and armed
response
• Covered parking
• Children’s playground
• 24 hour management and housekeeping
The villas at Pepo Poa are gathered around a 16-
room boutique hotel and spa. Delivered by the team
that created Loisaba Wilderness in northern Kenya,
Pepo Poa will pursue a similar ethos on the beach as
Loisaba does in the bush.
Mind, body and soul will be rejuvenated in a hotel
that brings style and luxury to the Kenyan coast
at the same time as employing local residents and
safeguarding the interests of the village and its
environment.
The overwater Spa is created by one of the world’s
great spa experts. Set on the lake, the spa will allow
homeowners to regain equilibrium after the travails
of everyday life elsewhere.
Loisaba lives in harmony with its neighbours and
partners by bringing education, healthcare and
employment to previously neglected populations.
Pepo Poa will replicate this philosophy on the
beach:
• Student scholarship scheme
• Local produce
• Healthcare
• Environmentally and socially aware
management
• Women’s groups and fishermen’s
cooperatives supported
Kenya has been fashionable since President Theodore
Roosevelt and Edward, Prince of Wales popularized
the safari a century ago. It took them weeks to make
their way from Mombasa into the highlands. Today
Pepo Poa is a short plane ride from the wonders
of the Laikipia plateau or the vibrant commercial
hub of Nairobi. The coast remains as they saw it -
brilliant white beaches, thriving coral gardens and
gentle rolling surf.
Pepo Poa has been conceived by the leaders of the
Kenyan safari business. The endlessly fascinating
wildlife of Kenya’s bush is complemented by yet
more at the coast – dolphins, turtles, sailfish and
manta rays are all common visitors to the reef off
Pepo Poa.
Neighbouring Mombasa, Zanzibar, Lamu and Pemba
were the earliest ports of call for the Victorian
explorers. Steeped in history, the East African coast
is a place of wonder and beauty.
Own a fully managed home on Kenya’s coast. The
deserted beaches, dramatic coral reefs, water sports
and big game fishing that make this seaboard so
special are now yours for the asking.
Pepo Poa borders Shimba Hills National Reserve
and the Pemba Channel – two of the world’s richest
environments on land and sea. Dive on a coral reef,
watch elephant and sable antelope and still be home
for breakfast.
Kenya’s coast is a marine wonderland with worldclass
golf courses and the finest game parks in the
world attached. With everything you need for an
active yet relaxed lifestyle, the Kenyan coast has it
all.
• PADI diving
• Deep sea fishing for marlin and sailfish
• Kite-surfing
• Sailing
• Three eighteen-hole golf courses
• Wind Surfing
• Flood-lit tennis courts
• Nautilus gym
• Snorkelling
Pepo Poa has been created by people whose very
livelihoods depend on conserving the environment.
Loisaba Wilderness is a unique symbiosis between
man and beast. We bring the same management
philosophy to the coast. A fresh water lake has been
planned to conserve and recycle water; local staff
will be trained and hired; our dhows will be built
locally; fresh fish and vegetables will be bought in
the surrounding area and the development will be
run to a strict environmental management plan.
The weather is so good on the Kenyan coast that
most time is spent outside. Much thought has gone
into providing courtyards and outside reception
areas that allow alfresco living in comfort and style.
Pepo Poa’s eco-friendly design makes full use of
natural cooling mechanisms while providing backup
air conditioning for the hottest days. Room sizes are
extremely generous – double or triple the size of
similar properties elsewhere - as are the swimming
pools and private gardens that surround all seven
houses.
