All-inclusive resorts in Mombasa,
the easy way to do Mombasa Raha
All-inclusive is the simplest way to enjoy “Mombasa Raha” — Mombasa the good life — with meals, drinks and the beach all bundled into one price. Here are the resorts that do it best, what’s actually included, and how to book a deal that’s worth it.
Mombasa’s best all-inclusive resorts are on the north coast. Voyager Beach Resort (Nyali) is the standout for families; PrideInn Paradise (Shanzu) is the best modern value; Sarova Whitesands (Bamburi) is the luxury all-inclusive; and Bamburi Beach Hotel and Travellers Beach Hotel are solid mid-range picks. All-inclusive covers your room, all meals and most local-brand drinks — ideal if you’ll stay on the resort. If you’d rather explore Mombasa’s food and tours, B&B or half board may suit you better. Prices run about US$110–200 a night (more at five-star), peaking December–March.
Read the fine print
What “all-inclusive” includes (and what it doesn’t)
Terms vary by resort, but this is the usual pattern on the Mombasa coast.
Usually included
- Your room and all taxes.
- All meals — breakfast, lunch and dinner, often buffet.
- Most local-brand drinks: soft drinks, beer, house wine, some spirits.
- Afternoon tea/snacks at many resorts.
- Pools, and often non-motorised activities and kids’ clubs.
Usually extra
- Premium and imported drinks and cocktails.
- Spa treatments and some à-la-carte restaurants.
- Motorised water sports (jet ski, glass-bottom boat).
- Off-site excursions — safaris, dhow trips, tours.
- Tips and any resident/tourism levies where applicable.
Always confirm the exact inclusions with the resort before booking — “all-inclusive” is defined slightly differently at each property.

When all-inclusive pays off in Mombasa
All-inclusive isn’t automatically the best deal — it depends how you’ll travel.
You’ll mostly stay on the resort, you’re travelling with kids, you want predictable costs, or it’s a pure sun-and-pool week. It removes daily decisions and bill shocks.
You want to eat out in Mombasa, explore Old Town and Swahili food, or do lots of tours — you’ll be paying for meals you won’t eat at the resort. Where to eat →
Half board (dinner + breakfast) plus lunch out can beat all-inclusive if you like to explore, while still covering the big meals.
The value of all-inclusive often lives in the drinks. Check whether it’s local-brand only and whether cocktails and imports cost extra.

Straight talk
Is all-inclusive actually right for your trip?
Be honest about how you’ll spend your days. If the plan is sun, pool, buffet and the kids happily occupied, all-inclusive is the fuss-free winner — and Voyager or PrideInn Paradise will serve you well. But if you came for Mombasa itself — Swahili food in the Old Town lanes, a dhow trip, dinner out — you’ll pay for meals you won’t eat, and half board may be smarter.
