Overview

Resident Rates / Prices

Enashipai Resort and Spa is a full-service luxury resort in Naivasha with spacious rooms, landscaped grounds, restaurants, a swimming pool, the Siyara Spa and extensive family and conference facilities.

The resort is a strong choice for couples, families, groups and corporate travellers looking for a well-equipped property within convenient reach of Naivasha town and Lake Naivasha.

Our View of Enashipai Resort and Spa

Enashipai is one of the most complete resorts in Naivasha. It combines spacious accommodation with a spa, swimming pool, restaurants, bars, children’s facilities, large gardens and extensive conference spaces.

We recommend Enashipai when guests want more than a room and would like to spend time enjoying facilities within the resort. It works particularly well for family getaways, couples’ weekends, spa breaks, conferences, weddings and group retreats.

The property is relatively large and can be lively during weekends, conferences and holiday periods. Travellers looking for a small, intimate lodge or a quiet wildlife-focused stay may prefer a different Naivasha hotel.

Enashipai Resort Is Best For

Families looking for spacious rooms and children’s facilities
Couples planning a weekend getaway or spa break
Guests who want several facilities within one resort
Corporate groups, conferences and team-building retreats
Weddings, celebrations and social events
Groups requiring different room and villa configurations
Travellers who want to remain close to Naivasha town
Guests combining Naivasha with the Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru or Amboseli

Consider Another Hotel If

You want a small and intimate lodge
You prefer a quiet property with fewer guests
Your priority is a wildlife lodge atmosphere
You want accommodation centred entirely around direct lake activities
You prefer a compact hotel with minimal walking between facilities

Siyara Spa and Wellness

Siyara Spa is one of Enashipai’s strongest features and makes the resort particularly suitable for wellness weekends and couples’ breaks.

Available treatments may include massages, facials, body treatments and couples’ spa experiences. The resort also has a gym, swimming facilities and a walking trail.

Spa treatments are not normally included in the standard accommodation rate. We recommend reserving popular treatments before arrival, especially for weekends and public holidays.

Family Holidays at Enashipai

Enashipai is one of the stronger family-resort choices in Naivasha because it combines spacious accommodation with gardens, swimming and children’s facilities.

Family-friendly features include:

Children’s play areas
Outdoor play facilities
Children’s swimming facilities
Indoor games
Babysitting on request
Family-friendly room and villa configurations
Large landscaped grounds
Easy access to Naivasha excursions

Parents should confirm room occupancy before booking, particularly when travelling with more than two children.

Rooms at Enashipai Resort and Spa

Enashipai offers executive rooms, suites and self-catering accommodation. The best option depends on the number of guests, preferred location within the resort and purpose of travel.

Fountain Executive Rooms

Fountain Executive Rooms are spacious rooms decorated in an Afro-chic style. Their distinctive interiors include Enashipai’s Maasai necklace-inspired headboards.

They are suitable for couples, individual travellers and small families, subject to the hotel’s occupancy policy.

Garden Executive Rooms

Garden Executive Rooms are positioned around the landscaped grounds and offer a comfortable base for a relaxing Naivasha stay.

These rooms are worth considering when access to the gardens and a quieter outlook are important.

Villa Executive Rooms are located within the resort’s villa accommodation. They are suitable for families and groups looking for additional space and greater separation from the main room blocks.

Please confirm whether you require individual villa rooms or an entire villa when sending your enquiry.

The suite is designed for couples celebrating a honeymoon, anniversary or special occasion. It offers additional space and a more private setting than a standard executive room.

Honeymoon arrangements and romantic extras can be requested at an additional cost.

Self-Catering Villas and Cottages

Self-catering villas and cottages are suitable for families, groups and longer stays. Availability, occupancy and meal arrangements vary, so these should be quoted separately rather than using the standard Full Board room rate.

Choose a Fountain Executive Room if you want the resort’s signature executive-room experience.

Choose a Garden Executive Room if you prefer a garden setting.

Choose a Villa Executive Room if you are travelling as a family or group and want more space.

Choose the Honeymoon Suite for a romantic or special-occasion stay.

Choose a self-catering villa or cottage for a longer stay, private group or family holiday requiring more independent living space.
