Away from busy roads, crowded spaces, and the constant rush of city life, Samarine Resort & Spa in Maragua, Murang’a County offers a different kind of getaway. Here, tall trees surround spacious green grounds, comfortable rooms give you a place to rest, and outdoor activities give you a reason to put your phone down and enjoy the moment.

Whether you are planning a weekend with your partner, a family escape, a trip with friends, or some much-needed time alone, Samarine gives you plenty of ways to relax, reconnect, and recharge.

And if you want to make the most of your visit, the resort’s Escape from the City package costs KSh 8,000 per person and brings accommodation, meals, and activities together in one getaway.

Why Leave the City for a While?

There is a particular kind of tiredness that comes from doing the same thing every day.

Work. Traffic. Noise. Screens. Deadlines. Repeat.

Sometimes, the best response is not another busy weekend. It is a change of surroundings.

At Samarine Resort & Spa, the environment does much of the work.

The resort sits in a peaceful, green setting filled with mature trees and open lawns. You can walk through the grounds, sit beneath the trees, enjoy a meal, take part in outdoor games, or simply find a quiet spot and do nothing for a while.

That is the appeal of a real getaway.

You do not have to rush to enjoy it.

An Escape Package Designed Around the Experience

Samarine’s Escape from the City package is built for people who want more than a room for the night.

At KSh 8,000 per person, the package includes:

Comfortable accommodation
Dinner on arrival
Breakfast the following morning
Lunch and dinner
Bonfires
Indoor and outdoor games
Hiking

So instead of arriving and wondering what to do, you already have the ingredients for a complete getaway.

You can arrive, settle into your room, enjoy dinner, spend the evening around a bonfire, wake up to a new morning, have breakfast, get outdoors, and make the most of the resort grounds.

It is a simple way to turn an ordinary weekend into something worth remembering.

Wake Up Surrounded by Nature

Serene Enviromant Surrounded by Nature

One of Samarine’s biggest attractions is its setting.

The resort is surrounded by trees and greenery, with expansive lawns that give the property a spacious, open feel. The environment feels removed from the usual pace of town without taking you too far from civilisation.

For nature lovers, this makes the resort particularly appealing.

You can take a leisurely walk through the grounds in the morning. You can sit under the trees with a cup of tea. You can explore the outdoor spaces with your family. Or you can simply enjoy the view from the comfort of your room.

The surroundings also create a natural setting for outdoor activities, group games, camping, bonfires, and team-building sessions.

This is a resort where the outdoors is part of the experience.

Comfortable Rooms for a Proper Rest

Comfortable Spacious Rooms

A getaway should not leave you wishing you were back in your own bed.

Samarine’s rooms are designed to give you a comfortable place to relax after a day of activities. The rooms feature spacious beds, crisp white linen, warm wooden finishes, generous windows, and a clean, inviting atmosphere.

Some rooms also open towards balconies overlooking the greenery, giving you another place to sit and enjoy the surroundings.

The result is a stay that balances the feel of a nature retreat with the comfort you expect from a modern resort.

And because Samarine offers accommodation at accessible rates, you do not have to turn a weekend escape into an expensive holiday.

Dinner on Arrival Means Your Getaway Starts Immediately

Delicious freshly prepared Meals

One of the small details that can make a difference is the dinner-on-arrival option included in the Escape from the City package.

You do not have to arrive and start worrying about where to find food.

Settle in. Enjoy a freshly prepared meal. Take a breath.

Then let the evening unfold.

Samarine serves freshly prepared meals, including hearty local dishes and grilled favourites. The food is well suited to a relaxed day outdoors and gives guests another reason to spend the weekend at the resort rather than heading back out in search of meals.

Spend Your Evening Around a Bonfire

Few things bring people together like a bonfire.

As the evening settles over the resort, the outdoor space takes on a different atmosphere. Gather with friends, talk, laugh, share stories, and enjoy the warmth of the fire.

It is especially suited to groups and families who want an evening activity that does not involve screens or crowded entertainment venues.

For couples, it can be a quiet way to end the day.

For friends, it can become the part of the trip everyone talks about afterwards.

For families, it gives everyone something to enjoy together.

Get Outdoors with Hiking and Games

Samarine is not the kind of resort where you have to spend the entire day inside your room.

The expansive grounds create plenty of space for movement and play.

The Escape from the City package includes hiking, indoor games, and outdoor games, giving guests different ways to spend their time.

You can make the morning active with a hike. Challenge your friends to a game. Bring the children along for outdoor fun. Or simply explore the property at your own pace.

The resort’s grounds also make it suitable for team building activities in Murang’a, especially for organisations and groups looking for a more relaxed environment away from offices and conference rooms.

A Great Weekend Getaway for Couples

Planning a romantic escape does not always mean booking an elaborate holiday.

Sometimes, what you need is a comfortable room, good food, peaceful surroundings, and enough time to actually talk.

Samarine offers couples that opportunity.

Take a walk together through the grounds. Enjoy a meal without rushing. Spend the evening around a bonfire. Wake up to green surroundings instead of traffic and concrete.

Whether you are celebrating an anniversary, marking a special occasion, or simply want to spend quality time together, Samarine provides a setting where you can focus on each other.

Bring the Family and Let the Kids Enjoy the Outdoors

Kids’ Playground at Samarine Resort & Spa – Maragua

Families need space.

Children want somewhere to run, explore, and play. Parents want somewhere they can relax without constantly worrying about what is happening around them.

Samarine’s spacious outdoor grounds help create that balance.

The property has plenty of open space for outdoor activities, and the resort offers a kids’ playground alongside other activities that families can enjoy together.

Instead of spending the whole weekend indoors, children can experience the outdoors while parents enjoy the peaceful surroundings, good food, and comfortable accommodation.

It is the kind of family outing that can become a genuine break for everyone.

You Can Also Come Alone

A getaway does not always need a group.

Solo travellers can enjoy Samarine in their own way.

Read a book. Take a walk. Enjoy a quiet meal. Spend time surrounded by trees. Treat yourself to a spa session. Sleep without an alarm. Do absolutely nothing for a few hours.

There is something valuable about having a place where you do not have to entertain anyone else.

Sometimes, your perfect getaway is simply time for yourself.

Relax at the Samarine Spa

The resort’s spa gives you another way to slow down.

After hiking or spending time outdoors, you can step into a more peaceful setting and focus on relaxation. The spa complements the natural environment and makes Samarine suitable for guests who want their getaway to include genuine rest rather than a packed itinerary.

For a weekend built around relaxation and rejuvenation, it is a natural part of the experience.

More Than a Weekend Stay

Samarine Resort & Spa is also well suited to groups looking for somewhere different to spend time together.

The large outdoor space can accommodate activities such as:

Team building
Group games
Bonfires
Hiking
Camping
Family gatherings
Outdoor recreation

This makes the resort useful beyond traditional overnight stays.

You can come for a romantic weekend, bring the whole family, organise a group activity, or plan a corporate team-building day.

There is room to make the visit your own.

A Resort in Murang’a That Lets You Actually Switch Off

There are many places where you can book a room.

What makes a good getaway different is everything that happens outside the room.

At Samarine, that means the trees, the open lawns, the meals, the hiking, the games, the bonfires, the spa, and the simple pleasure of having somewhere peaceful to spend your time.

It means waking up without the usual city rush.

It means having breakfast and deciding whether the day calls for a hike, a game, a walk, or absolutely nothing.

It means dinner without having to worry about the next day’s schedule.

It means having permission to slow down.
