It’s a celebration at Billionaire Resort & Retreat and a celebration for all Malindi.
The famous resort comprised of the Billionaire Resort with its 24 luxury apartments and the suggestive
Lion in the Sun, a Billionaire Retreat with its 16 exquisite rooms has won a very prestigious award…and has done so for a second year in a row.
In the recent gala award ceremony held in Dubai for the World Travel Awards (the Oscars of the travel industry) the Malindi resort has won the Best Boutique Resort in Africa for 2023, an award it had already won in 2022, its first year after reopening as a hotel for the general public.
The property, which is owned by celebrity global entrepreneur Flavio Briatore is managed by Babylon Hospitality that has recently incorporated a Nairobi office and team.
The recent reconversion of the Billionaire Resort is yet another step of requalifying the coast of Kilifi
which has taken the form of a public-private initiative known as the Kenyan Riviera.
A haven for celebrities and travelers worldwide the resort offers luxury apartments, rooms and suites along with a series of rich gastronomic experiences.
Whilst the Lion in the Sun, a Billionaire Retreat is quietly tucked away in a secluded location 400 meters from the beach and is renowned for its world class Spa and wellness program, the Billionaire Resort offers a breathtaking and unique beach with views of the Marine Park.
The beach has recently seen an upgrade in facilities and services with new Gazebos and sun beds and hosts the most popular Sunday Brunch – a must for guests of Malindi, Watamu and Kilifi alike.
Guests at Billionaire Resort & Retreat are pampered by a series of activities such as Dhow rides, visits to
Marafa and so much more and is the perfect base to discover or rediscover Malindi and the
whole of Kilifi.
To celebrate the win, the resort has launched a celebration campaign to thank the Kenyan
travel trade market that has welcomed and supported the resort since its opening in late 2021
as an open resort after years of having been a private residence.
The month-long campaign includes a series of perks, value adds and discounts such as upgrades and free airport transfers.
This celebration adds to the celebration of the wildly popular and recently finished One Life Rally which chose the Billionaire Resort in Malindi as the venue for its closing party this year.
