One-bedroom apartments in Watamu
One-bedroom apartments at GK Palms are sized for couples, solo travellers and quiet work weeks: a bedroom, living space, kitchen and easy access to the shared garden pool and The Palms restaurant. Turtle Bay Beach is about a 7-minute walk from GK Lane — you are not in a tower on the sand, and you are not in a hostel dorm.
Who this is for
Couples, honeymoon weekenders, Nairobi staycations for two, and remote workers who want a real apartment rather than a hotel room with a kettle.
What you actually get
A furnished one-bedroom with kitchen facilities, living space and guest access to the shared palm-garden pool. Layouts vary by unit — photos and sleeps counts sit on each listing. We do not claim private plunge pools or all-inclusive meal plans.
Why book this type instead of a hotel room
You can make breakfast, close a door on the bedroom, and walk to Turtle Bay without a shuttle. The Palms covers lunch and dinner when you do not want to cook. That is the GK Palms one-bedroom brief.
How it compares with two-bedrooms
Stay here for two guests. Families and friends sharing usually step up to two-bedroom apartments or the bungalow. Live from-prices are on the cards below — one-bedrooms are often the lowest nightly rate, but dates decide.
Beach, dining and transfers
Turtle Bay is the everyday beach. Reserve The Palms for Swahili coastal cooking. Request GK Transfers from Malindi Airport so arrival is not a taxi negotiation. Couple getaways and the honeymoon guide sit on top of this inventory.
Frequently asked questions
Who should book a one-bedroom in Watamu?
Couples and solo guests. Families of four usually need a two-bedroom.
Is there a kitchen?
Yes — self-catering is part of the apartment. The Palms is on site for lunch and dinner.

No. All guests share the resort pool in the gardens.
How close is Turtle Bay Beach?
About a 7-minute walk from GK Lane. We are not a beachfront property.
Are these villas?
They are apartments. Villa-style space with a private pool is not this product — see the villas guide for the honest split.
Can I work from a one-bedroom?
Many guests do. Coast Wi-Fi varies — keep a hotspot for critical calls.
Is breakfast included?
Not as a hotel buffet. Use the kitchen or dine at The Palms.
