Where hospitality becomes a feeling, and every stay becomes a cherished memory
Hospitality is not just a service — it is a feeling.
For James and Mary, hospitality has never been black and white. It is found in the small details, the warmth of a genuine welcome, and the way a space makes you feel long after you've left. Having spent years immersed in the world of refined, luxury hospitality abroad, we carried a deep desire to bring that same level of care, intention, and excellence back home to Kenya — to the people and places closest to our hearts.
Elegant Kaya is that dream brought to life.
The name itself reflects what we stand for: elegance with soul. "Kaya" speaks to home — a place of belonging, comfort, and connection.
Every corner of Elegant Kaya has been thoughtfully curated to feel homely yet elevated, familiar yet special. This is a space where guests are not simply accommodated, but received.
From the moment you walk through our doors, our hope is that you feel seen, valued, and at ease. Whether you're visiting for rest, celebration, work, or reconnection, Elegant Kaya is designed to be a place where memories are created — mornings that feel unhurried, evenings that feel warm, and moments that linger.
It is in the welcome, the comfort, the care, and the intention behind every detail. Our vision is for every guest who stays with us to leave not just satisfied, but touched — and to return not as a visitor, but as a guest for life.
"Elegant Kaya is more than a stay. It is our way of extending home, heart, and genuine hospitality — just as it was always meant to be felt."
Welcome home.
— James & Mary
Every guest is received with warmth and sincerity, making you feel at home from the very first moment.

Wine is more than a beverage—it's a gateway to understanding regions, traditions, and the art of living well.
We support local artisans, women cooperatives, and sustainable community development. Tourism that gives back.
Elegant Kaya is more than a business—it's a family passion project. Every detail is personally curated, every guest is welcomed like family, and every experience is crafted with love and attention. We're not just hosting; we're sharing our home, our culture, and our vision for a more connected world.
