English Point Marina is expected to change the Mombasa city tour experience.
At a time when the Kenyan tourism sector is optimistic of a growth momentum the Kenyan Coast is set to become the home of a transformative contemporary hotel development upon the launch of EnglishPoint Marina; which is expected to change the Mombasa city tour experience.
The marina resort is anticipated to put Kenya on the map of the huge luxury boat markets in the Mediterranean region, Egypt, Dubai, South Africa and the Far East Situated on a spectacular water-front across the creek from the Fort Jesus, EnglishPoint Marina will be an iconic and landmark multi use development that will attract an investment of
approximately US$50 million.
The property which sits across the magnificent skyline of Mombasa will feature onsite facilities such as a hotel, conferencing facility, a roof-top restaurant, a casino, swimming pool, serviced apartments, seafront restaurant of international standard, spa & gym, boardwalk with retail outlets, underground car parking, water-sport centre and first
of its kind serviced marina.
Alnoor Kanji, one of English Point Marina’s developers said the investment has the ability to open up the high-end international investment market for Kenya as well as the high end tourist market. This will enhance Kenya’s image and profile. It is the vision of the Developers that EnglishPoint Marina will further attract international boat races, fishing competitions and small luxury charter services capable of private cruises to Lamu, Zanzibar and other coastal destinations.
Only recently, Mombasa played host to the 100-meter luxury boat owned by Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen. Unfortunately, the vessel had to be moored mid-stream with no service facilities. “English Point will have a fully serviced 5-star marina capable of mooring 80 to 100 boats; it is the first of its kind in East Africa,” said Kanji
English Point Marina comes on the verge of an anticipated expansion of Mombasa Port which will require high end real estate to accommodate the influx of professionals and managers. Lamu is equally being prepared for Lamu Port; one of Kenya’s biggest infrastructural investments since independence. These developments are expected to make Mombasa one of Kenya’s corporate hubs.
