About

Set among palm-filled gardens on the shores of the Indian Ocean, PrideInn Flamingo Beach Resort & Spa brings together beachfront relaxation and plenty of Kenyan character in Mombasa's Shanzu Beach area.

Days here can be as relaxed as you like. Find a spot beside the large lagoon-style swimming pool, wander down to the sandy beach or make time for a treatment at Uzuri Village Spa. If you're travelling as a couple, we'd recommend looking at the ocean-facing accommodation to make the most of the coastal setting.

Dining gives Flamingo another point of difference. Palm Restaurant takes care of buffet dining, while Blue Lagoon offers an à la carte alternative. But the standout has to be Istanbul Beach Cave Restaurant – an unusual dining spot built into a natural coral cave beside the Indian Ocean. For drinks with a view, Deck 270 is made for sundowners overlooking the water.

There's plenty to do beyond the pool too, with daily entertainment, a gym and water sports and excursions available on request. Mombasa Marine National Park is among the nearby attractions, making it easy to add a little exploration to your beach holiday.

Although there's plenty here for couples, families haven't been forgotten. Family accommodation, a dedicated children's pool and Star Kids Club make the resort a good option when you're travelling with younger guests.

With the beach on your doorstep, a choice of restaurants and bars, tropical gardens and plenty of ways to switch off, PrideInn Flamingo is an easy-going choice for a Mombasa escape.

Best For: Couples and families looking for a relaxed beachfront stay in Mombasa with tropical gardens, ocean views, good dining choice and plenty of facilities.

  • Beachfront Setting – Tropical gardens lead straight to the sands of Shanzu Beach
  • Unique Cave Dining – Dine inside a natural coral cave beside the Indian Ocean
  • Sunset Drinks – Head to Deck 270 for cocktails and sweeping ocean views

Dining & Bars

Dining at PrideInn Flamingo

There are 3 main restaurants, ranging from buffet dining to à la carte meals and one of the most unusual dinner settings on the Mombasa coast.

Palm Restaurant

The resort's main buffet restaurant, with a wide selection that includes meats, salads and fresh seafood. Palm serves breakfast, lunch and dinner, making this the central dining option throughout your stay.

Istanbul Beach Cave Restaurant

This is the one we'd make time for. Istanbul Beach Cave Restaurant is set inside a natural coral cave on the shores of the Indian Ocean, creating a completely different setting for lunch or dinner. The restaurant specialises in Turkish-inspired dining, while candlelit evenings and panoramic ocean views give it plenty of romantic appeal for couples.

Deck 270

One of our favourite spots for couples, Deck 270 is an oceanfront tapas lounge made for sundowners and relaxed evenings. Kenyan-inspired sharing plates are joined by cocktails and sweeping coastal views, making it a particularly good choice for date night.
