Ferragosto on the Kenyan coast is a day to be enjoyed amidst sea and pampering, gastronomic specialities and music. Better if in a special place, out of the ordinary and out of the everyday, to make the most of what this country's marine environment has to offer.
In Malindi, one of the ideal settings for spending the day of Ferragosto is that of the Kilili Baharini Resort & SPA, which also welcomes outsiders with a special programme starting at 11 am, with a non-alcoholic welcome cocktail and pleasant, unobtrusive live music.
Throughout the day, guests will be able to make use of the sun loungers and beach service and enjoy a rich menu that includes appetisers with assorted salads, caponata and fish carpaccio, while the main courses include pasta dishes such as tagliolini with lobster or crab ravioli, aubergine parmigiana, grilled squid and lobster and mixed fried fish. There are also choices for meat lovers, with the excellent leg of lamb, and for vegetarians with vegetable side dishes to suit all tastes.
The dessert selection, another of Kilili Baharini's specialities, includes creme caramel, pancakes, fruit tart, chocolate pralines and fresh tropical fruit. All this amidst the breeze from the palm trees on the sand, with the incomparable view of the Indian Ocean, and the poolside space with bar service available at all times.
