Vasco da Gama Hotel Situated just 20km north of Mombasa, the small and friendly Vasco da Gama Hotel has a prime location overlooking the Indian Ocean. The Vasco da Gama Hotel offers a variety of accommodation, from single rooms with no single supplement, to units that cater for families or friends travelling together. Whilst the hotel has no direct beach access, a short walk through the lush, tropical grounds and down a steep flight of steps takes you to the palm-fringed, white-sand Shanzu Beach.
Before reaching the beach, the 'Pavillion d'Amour', which is built on a promontory overlooking the sea, will tempt you to linger for a while and enjoy the fabulous views of the Indian Ocean.
