Looking for a spa in Nairobi? I have picked my top 7 Nairobi spas, the very cream of the crop, for that day of ultimate indulgence. The best spas in Nairobi are nearly all in top-end hotels. Many 5 star hotels open up spas within their brand or make space available to international award-winning spas. A word of warning, do check the spas are open before you visit them. All of the spas listed here are open as of , but in my research many other spas in Nairobi are now closed, either permanently or for Covid.
Entim Sidai means beautiful forest in the Maasai language, the name is appropriate, Entim Sidai sits in 20 acres of indigenous forest, on an old colonial farm. The farmhouse commands views of the Ngong Hills and forms the main part of this Nairobi spa.
A full range of treatments is available. There is an onsite restaurant reviews are a bit hit and miss and you can stay overnight in the old house. Mention a spa in Nairobi and Serenity Spa is one of the first to pop up. Serenity has two locations in Gigiri and Kitisuru. Both Nairobi spas are visually stunning, with opulent surroundings and lavish use of plants and natural materials. Serenity continues the nature theme by using products from botanically sourced ingredients that are free from parabens, chemicals and have not been tested on animals.
The products are inspired by Japanese Geisha and are made using pearl extract, Arabian Rasul mud, rose, rice bran oils and grape leaf. The owner prides herself on keeping the staff fully trained and abreast of the latest treatments and technologies. Specialist treatments include the Hamman sauna, micro-needling, slimming treatments and a hairdresser.
I particularly love the Detox sessions. Although Serenity is a Day Spa you can book yourself on to 1, 3, 5 and 7-day detox specials where a programme of detox juices and specialised treatments will get you back on the straight and narrow. Keep an eye out for their spa safaris, where you can enjoy yoga, meditation, treatments in various safari camps throughout Kenya.
