Kokomo Beach

Some restaurants have a view. Kokomo has an atmosphere. Perched on the white sands of Mapambo Bay, with the Indian Ocean stretching endlessly ahead, it’s the kind of place you arrive for lunch and find yourself still sitting at sunset — cocktail in hand, wondering why you’d ever leave.

The Food

The menu draws from the sun-drenched traditions of the Mediterranean and Lebanese coast — think fresh mezza spreads, grilled seafood platters, slow-cooked meats, and creative vegetarian options. Ingredients are locally sourced, flavours are honest, and the kitchen balances simplicity with genuine craft. Whether you’re sharing plates with a group or settling in for a quiet solo meal, there’s something here that feels exactly right.

The Experience

Open-air seating, a warm coastal breeze, and a soundtrack chosen with care — Kokomo strikes a rare balance between relaxed and refined. The cocktails are inventive, made with fresh herbs and seasonal fruit. The service is warm without being intrusive. As the sky shifts colour over the ocean, it becomes one of Watamu’s most memorable evenings.

Rated 4.7 on Google and consistently listed among Watamu’s best restaurants, Kokomo earns its reputation quietly — through good food, good company, and an honestly beautiful setting.
