Vipingo Ridge: A Modern Welcome to Kilifi
There are several places around Kenya that have experienced rapid development in recent years, driven by factors like demand for middle-market holiday homes, investor optimism, urbanization, technological advancements, and infrastructure investment. Among these havens of rapid advancement is the once sleepy and quiet transitory area of Vipingo, previously widely-known for its acres upon acres of expansive sisal farms. Situated just 30 km north of Mombasa, Vipingo is turning a new leaf, going great guns on chic new-age, stylish, up-market developments.
One of the biggest proponents of this new wave was Vipingo Development Ltd that decided to speculate its fortunes on their whooper property spanning 10,254 acres. Their blueprint included residential homes, fully serviced residential and industrial plots, as well as enticing prospects in commercial and hospitality and sectors. The crown-jewel was, of course, Vipingo Ridge, a prestigious residential and leisure development. Construction begun in 2005 with an 18 hole golf course, designed by David Jones, an Irish golf professional, champion, and course whizz.
Equally impressive is the sequestered upmarket leisure and residential Vipingo Ridge Estate, built on 2,500 acres of picturesque hinterlands. It is designed to offer the very best in easy living. Bolstered by the swanky 19-hole Baobab Golf Course, appositely ranked among the ‘Top 100 golf courses around the world’ by CNN, the development, featuring a range of luxury residential properties, took off to a flying start. Overall, Vipingo Ridge offers a luxurious lifestyle surrounded by stunning natural beauty, making it a sought-after destination in Kilifi County.
Today, Vipingo offers a variety of leisure facilities for residents and guests to enjoy. These include a clubhouse with restaurants and bars, a swimming pool, tennis courts, and a fitness center. Away from the golf course, the opulent Clubhouse is the core meeting area. Moreover, it has its own private beach club along Kuruwitu Beach. Here, you can relax on pristine beaches, swim in the turquoise waters, and enjoy water sports activities. Other highlights include: Vipingo Guest House and Kuruwitu Marine Conservancy. Vipingo Ridge is found 30 km north of Mombasa.
Whether your thing is a few power swings, a round of golf while on vacation, improving your skills or thirsting for new challenges – or somewhere in between – golfing in Kenya will treat you to fine memorable experiences few have enjoyed.
