The Compound
A private boutique residence of 22 apartments in the heart of Watamu — 18 already sold to private owners. Only 4 remain available for rent and sale.
A Boutique Residence — Almost Entirely Sold Out
Dabaso Gardens is a boutique apartment residence of 22 units located along the peaceful Timboni–Dabaso Road, one of Watamu's most authentic and green residential corridors. The compound was built around mature tropical vegetation — tall palms, established gardens and generous open spaces — and designed for genuine long-term comfort.
The project has been an exceptional success: 18 of the 22 apartments have already been purchased by private owners. Only 4 units remain — one of each type — available for short and long-term rental or for outright purchase.
A rare opportunity. With only 4 apartments remaining in a 22-unit compound where 18 have already sold, Dabaso Gardens represents one of the last chances to own or rent within this established tropical residence in Watamu. Contact us directly to discuss rental or purchase options.
Compound Amenities
Everything that makes a stay feel like a home — not a hotel room.
Piscina
A large shared pool built for everyday living — surrounded by comfortable loungers and the shade of mature palms. The natural centrepiece of the compound.
Tropical Gardens
Established tropical vegetation — tall palm trees, flowering hedges, green lawns and shaded walkways. Maintained and designed for both beauty and privacy.
Aria condizionata
All bedrooms equipped with individual air conditioning units ensuring a comfortable temperature year-round, regardless of the season.
Backup Power
A reliable backup power system ensures uninterrupted electricity across the compound — essential appliances and services continue normally during any interruptions.
Wi-Fi ad alta velocità
Fast and reliable internet throughout the property — in apartments and common areas. Designed with remote workers and digital nomads in mind.
Security & Privacy
A fully gated compound with controlled access. Designed to feel private and secure — a genuine home, not a public space. Each apartment has its own parking space.
Designed for Everyday Use
The pool at Dabaso Gardens was built with daily living in mind. Large enough to actually swim in, calm enough to read beside, surrounded by the natural shade of tropical palms — it becomes part of your daily rhythm rather than an occasional feature.
Whether you start the morning with a few lengths or wind down the afternoon in the shade with a book, the pool terrace is the quiet social space at the heart of the compound.
Built Around Nature
The compound is laid out within its existing tropical vegetation — preserving the character of the site: tall mature palm trees, established tropical plants, open green spaces and natural shade.
This makes Dabaso Gardens feel genuinely different from most apartment complexes: cooler, quieter, greener and more private. The gardens are not decorative — they are the architecture.
For guests staying longer than a few weeks, this is particularly valuable. There is something restorative about living surrounded by tropical vegetation, with birds in the palms and the sound of the wind.
Services & Facilities
Everything you need for a comfortable stay — whether for a night or a year.
Dedicated Parking
Every apartment has its own dedicated private parking space within the gated compound. Ideal for guests with rental cars or residents with their own vehicles.
Housekeeping (Optional)
Housekeeping services available at additional cost. Frequency arranged based on length of stay — weekly, bi-weekly or on-demand.
Fully Equipped Kitchens
All apartments feature a fully equipped kitchen — ideal for guests who prefer to cook at home. Saves significantly on costs for longer stays.
Move-In Ready
All apartments fully furnished and ready to occupy — bed linen, towels, kitchen utensils and all furnishings provided. Bring your suitcase and move in the same day.
Direct Management
Dabaso Gardens is managed directly by the owners — not through an agency. Faster responses, more flexibility on rates, and a more personal experience for every guest.
Available for Rent & Sale
All 4 remaining apartments are available for short stay, long-term rental or outright purchase. Contact us directly to discuss your requirements and preferred arrangement.
