Finding cheap hotels in Malindi: FAQs

According to our pricing calendar data, April is the cheapest month to book your Malindi resort for.

The main difference between a standard and all-inclusive resort is what's included in your stay. All-inclusive room rates usually include meals, drinks and activities such as kids' clubs or entertainment. At a standard resort you pay for your room, and anything else is charged separately.

It all depends on your travel style and what works for you and your clan, but all-inclusive resorts can be a great choice for families. Why? Easier budgeting means happy parents. And a big choice of food options and activities means happy kids.

Relaxed vibes, sophisticated dining options and a range of spa treatments, to name a few. Adult-only resorts are ideal for couples or friend groups looking for a tranquil getaway without any little ones.
