Watamu's "7 Island Festival", now in its third edition, is deliberately transformed into a "Boutique Event Initiative" which, with the indispensable key of fun and the fantastic location of Paparemo Beach, will involve participants from today to 15 August with a programme that includes music, culture, art, excursions and environmental protection, thanks to a partnership with the Kenya Wildlife Service.
Watamu's 7 Island Resort espouses a new kind of tourism, young, aware and futuristic, with the aim of launching Kilifi County as a hub of interesting holidays, suitable for an international and new clientele. It is no coincidence that the Festival (which can only be attended by booking a room in the resort) will attract guests from South Africa, Eastern Europe and other countries, as well as from the capital Nairobi which, thanks to events like this and to those who have the perseverance and courage to repeat them, now recognises Watamu as a destination with many attractions.
The 7 Island Festival starts today, Friday 13 August, and will also include the entire days of Saturday and Sunday. There are two tickets for participants, the one that includes sea and beach events (with a "musical" excursion in the marine park, on the sand atolls with deejay and cocktail bar) and the one for just the "land" events, with multiple activities and over 10 deejays involved, tickets starting from Kes. 10,000 for the three days. Overnight options include solutions from Kes. 8.000. For information and bookings Tel. 0713 326336 Mail: reservation@sevenislandswatamu.com
