Eco World Watamu: Sustainable Solutions for a Greener Future

Date published: 18/03/2025

Nestled along Kenya’s pristine coastline, Hemingways Watamu is not only a sanctuary of luxury but also a proud supporter of Eco World Watamu—a pioneering organization dedicated to environmental conservation and community empowerment. Through innovative recycling, waste management, and sustainability initiatives, Eco World is shaping a cleaner, greener future for Watamu and beyond.
Protecting Paradise Through Innovation
Watamu’s natural beauty is one of its greatest assets, but preserving it requires conscious effort. Eco World Watamu leads the way in transforming plastic waste into valuable resources, tackling marine pollution, and fostering environmental responsibility within local communities. By converting discarded plastics into sustainable building materials, furniture, and crafts, the initiative not only reduces waste but also creates employment opportunities for local artisans.
At Hemingways Watamu, we recognize the importance of preserving our surroundings. Our partnership with Eco World aligns with our commitment to responsible tourism—ensuring that guests can enjoy the beauty of Watamu while contributing to its protection.
Community-Led Conservation
Sustainability is most effective when it involves the community. EcoWorld Watamu works closely with schools, businesses, and local organisations to promote education and awareness on waste management. Through clean-up drives, recycling initiatives, and conservation programmes, the organisation empowers individuals to take an active role in protecting the environment.
By supporting EcoWorld, Hemingways Watamu helps to fund these crucial initiatives, ensuring that future generations can continue to enjoy the region’s unspoiled landscapes and abundant marine life.
