There is a sign that marks the beginning of the holiday season in Watamu, coinciding with the arrival of the first charter flights, which are increasingly full, heralding the arrival of many repeat holidaymakers and independent travellers.
 
As we wait for the big month of August, when Kenyans and holidaymakers from all over the world staying in Nairobi will join the crowds in Watamu for what promises to be an exceptional summer, the sign usually arrives around this time.
This is when the cult venue for fun, relaxation and socialising opens in one of the iconic settings of Kenya's top tourist destination.
It is the opening of Paparemo Beach, which is once again available to its guests and tomorrow inaugurates the season of its famous and celebrated beach parties. Paparemo promises all-round entertainment, with the beauty of its location on the ocean shore in the bay of love, the specialities of its restaurant with fresh fish every day and much more, the attentive service of its experienced staff, coordinated by the highly regarded manager Chiara and Christian, the relaxation of its comfortable sun loungers with your feet in the water, cocktails at sunset and, last but not least, the Saturday evening beach party, an event that attracts thousands of people every weekend, featuring the best DJs on the Kenyan scene and beyond. So, see you on Saturday 19th for the first beach party of the new season, with resident DJs and admission Kes. 800 for men and Kes. 400 for women. The sea, the beach, fun and Africa in all its splendour are calling... and Watamu is answering!
