The Kilifi Wellness Festival offers four days of joy and relaxation on Kenya’s stunning coast. Come to refresh and rejuvenate, and leave with a new spring in your step.
Kilifi, where Bofa Beach meets Kilifi Creek, is one of Kenya’s best kept secrets. This idyllic spot lends itself to long beach walks, watching the sun rise over the sea, and basking in the warm water of the Indian Ocean. To be surrounded by such beauty calms the mind and eases the soul.
The four-day festival is packed full of movement, discussion, activities and entertainment. Expect art, dance, yoga, meditation, laughter, nutrition, circus arts, SUP, mental health, spoken word, coastal culture and more. Try yoga on a stand-up paddleboard and circus arts in the trees; meditation to calm the mind and discussion to inspire thought; there’s partner yoga and stomp the floor ZOCA, playfulness and stress resilience, improv games and art mandala workshop – and so much more.
Saturday is Kids’ Fun Day, and the inspirational team from Moto Moto are bringing their crazy mix of kids’ activities from Diani. The fun-filled day will include dance, yoga, acrobatics, beadwork, games, mandala painting, aerial silks, partner stretching, face painting, treasure hunt and more.
Whether participants want to stretch their bodies or relax, to challenge their minds or unwind, the festival is sure to inspire and delight them. The fun runs into the evenings, with a selection of awesome activities including relaxing nidra with handpan, open mic, moonrise dhow cruise, cacao ceremony and the festival beach party.
Four friends founded the festival in 2020 and it came to life in 2021. Each of the six Kilifi Wellness Festivals has built on the experience and energy of the previous editions, and the festival continues to blossom and flourish. This, the seventh, will be nourishing and inspirational. Sink into sessions you’ve done before, try new things, and leave with a full heart, new friends and a fortified love for life.
The Festival Fair, in the centre of the festival grounds, is jam packed with coastal creations, sustainable fashion, organic foods, health-boost drinks, healing crystals, yoga accessories, home décor goodies, mental health books, vintage thrift jewellery, natural skin care, sustainable safaris and more. Therapists offer private treatments including Thai massage, Shiatsu, Ayurvedic treatments, sound healing, Akashic channels, Tarot card reading and more.\
Participants can choose to dive into the festival’s many diverse experiences, or to take the time to rest and rejuvenate, savouring the festival’s open-hearted atmosphere.
Reset, relax and reconnect on the white sands and turquoise seas of Kilifi.
