Introduction
When relocating to Kenya, housing is one of the first challenges. While long-term housing takes time to arrange, a short-term stay at a trusted resort, hotel, or serviced apartment can make the transition easier.
Here are some of the best options for expats, diaspora families, and entrepreneurs starting fresh in Kenya.
1. Coastal Comfort – Mombasa & Kilifi
- Mnarani Beach Club (Kilifi): Ideal for families and business travelers. Offers full board, security, and relaxation — while you search for permanent housing.
- Nyali Beach Hotels: Great for short stays close to Mombasa business hubs.
2. Nairobi Convenience
- Serviced Apartments (Kilimani, Westlands, Karen): Fully furnished with Wi-Fi and housekeeping.
- Boutique Hotels: Smaller, secure options that feel more like home.
3. Why Short-Term Stays Matter
- Allow time for due diligence on permanent housing.
- Provide a safe, comfortable base while setting up utilities, schools, or businesses.
- Reduce relocation stress for families.
