Furaha means joy in Swahili.

A two-bedroom poolside home inside the leafy Rafiki Tamu Resort in Watamu, Kenya — where breakfast happens on the patio, the pool is at your doorstep, and the Indian Ocean is minutes away.

Nyumba · the house

Ground floor, garden green, pool blue.

Furaha House sits on the ground floor, directly in front of the swimming pool. Step off your patio and you're in the water. Inside, two comfortable double bedrooms and two private bathrooms — plus an extra single bed — make it an easy fit for a family or a group of friends.

The kitchen is fully equipped for cooking at your own pace, and the furnished patio with its generous sofa is where mornings begin and evenings wind down: breakfast outdoors, lunch in the shade, dinner under the coastal sky.

Huduma · services

A holiday home that looks after you.

Furaha House comes with the small luxuries that turn a rental into a retreat — included in your stay, not hidden in the fine print.

Kila siku

Daily cleaning

The house is refreshed every day of your stay, so you spend your holiday at the pool — not with a broom.

Nguo safi

Laundry service

Pack light. Laundry is taken care of during your stay, which means more beach time and smaller suitcases.

Chakula kizuri

Private chef on request

Fresh Swahili coast cooking — grilled fish, coconut rice, tropical fruit — prepared in your own kitchen. Available for a fee.

Pwani · the coast

Watamu, one of Kenya's most loved beach towns.

White coral-sand beaches, a protected marine park, and a laid-back town where the day moves at the pace of the tide. From Furaha House you can reach it all easily.
