Business Unusual "Spent a weekend brainstorming and working on a proposal. Cannot imagine a more magical place to set your imagination free. After 3 years the service just keeps getting better. Maji is my favorite spot in the world business or pleasure."
Fred RariewaThe team have a high attention to detail; and they outlined good measures for guests’ safety. The way the property is designed makes it easy to have physical distance. The only difference this time is that I opted to drive to minimise any exposure from a flight. Despite not driving to the coast for over a decade, it was worth it to find The Maji at the end of it. It turned out to be my best holiday there!
MalkiaThe best kept secret on the southern coast. Very serene and exclusive. Apart from the high price, I would highly recommend. We enjoyed the food, the idea of eating at will was awesome. The rooms were clean and overally it's a nice boutique hotel.
AsegohExcellent service and food, beautiful and luxurious surroundings, and a personalized and tailored experience that is difficult to find elsewhere! The interconnected pool is available 24 hours which is a lovely touch, as a midnight or dawn swim is a great way to beat the Mombasa heat and drink it all in
Walshno87We've stayed at the Maji on multiple occasions. It is the most relaxing place with courteous, friendly staff, lovely individual boutique rooms, beautiful beach location and the most delicious food. We can't wait to visit again.
