Its three Presidential suites and fourth-floor rooms offer a view of the sea that shows you the planet’s curvature, an experience that one ordinarily enjoys only from military aircraft at elevations of more than 40,000ft above sea level. It’s a stunning scene. The white-sands beach offers you one view of the continental sea, clearly demarcated by the coral reef, and the view from the upper-floors rooms quite another, a longer perspective and a view of the wider sea. To see the sea for the first time from MCR’s beach and 177 balconies is to experience a veritable epiphany. To see it by moonlight  on a starry night is to be transported out of yourself and to feel the vastness and beauty of Creation.

 

Offering five-star luxury, the Resort is set on 8.3 superlatively landscaped acres with a 300-metre-long front view of the Indian Ocean. MCR’s well-tended palm trees and flower beds, superbly well-appointed rooms, amenities, restaurants, bars club and conference facilities cocoon the discerning holidaymaker and conventioneer in the very lap of luxury.

 

The Resort is the setting of many local and international conferences, seminars, workshops, corporate hospitality events as well as exquisite seaside weddings, birthdays, anniversaries, themed lunches and nights.

 

The entertainment ranges from colourful traditional dancers, drummers and singers, offering all the rollicking rhythms and lyrics of Kenya’s diverse 42 communities as well as modern live bands belting out both local and global hits.

 

The Resort has outlets to match every mood and appetite. A superb main restaurant, The Frangipani, greets the sun in the morning and offers all-day dining, starting off with a continental breakfast that offers the best of Europe and the best of Africa in a uniquely Kenyan setting. Lunch is always a feast at The Frangipani, a repast fit for Royalty. Dinner takes place in a magical setting by the sea, made all the more special by high tide and, occasionally, the full moon in a cloudless sky.

 

The Dhow Terrace, an extension of The Frangipani, offers a special seafood experience on a breeze-kissed sea-facing deck with its own bar. The Poolside Bar & Grill, also sea-facing and breeze-cooled, is famed for its sizzling, juicy pizzas and creative cocktails and is also an all-day snack and coffee bar. The Governor’s Lounge is the place to go for a formal fine dining experience.

The Resort has five bars, with the Dhow, Pool and Quarterdeck offering you scintillating cocktails of your choice. At the beachfront Madafu Bar you are literally treading on water when the tide is in as you sip your cool cocktail, made all the more enjoyable by the direct sea breeze.

• 93 twin rooms
