Vacations are not always about sandy beaches and palm trees, they can also be fun in a greeny side of the country where the activities are endless and unique. Maiyan Resort offers a wide range of activities to enjoy your stay and here are some ideas of what to wear to feel your best self the entire time.
Maiyan which is a Maasai word meaning God’s blessing and the development draws its inspiration from 3 elements; Blessing, Harmony and Excellence. The property is situated 5kms off the Nanyuki Dol-Dol roa, 20 kms north of Nanyuki town.
The Maiyan Sport Centre aims to inspire and motivate their residents and community to engage in active lifestyle. The sport centre is equipped with balanced activities for both children and adults giving them the chance to keep active and make new friends. This includes horse riding, tennis, basketball, field sports like football, hockey and rugby. Cycling, Boat riding, fishing, walking and jogging trails.
Bike Riding
Cycle during the sunrise or sunset with the Mount Kenya backdrop. Being as it is a tedious activity, you would definitely want to go light, a pair of shorts, shirt, or leggings and a crop top. Pair it with rubber shoes or sneakers for full maximum comfort. Carry some essentials like water bottle, sunglasses and a hat and you are good to go.
Horse Riding
If you are planning to do a photoshoot at the horse stables, a gorgeous dress will be a top pick, whether maxi or short. A photo session with the horses at Maiyan is a great activity to do for keeping the memories and to have field day on your social platforms with the bomb pictures.
Boat Riding
For our next activity, boat riding, yes the activities are endless in this tranquil resort, I opted for a romper well in theme with nature, neutrals, I feel like neutral colours compliment a safari vacation. Put on a light layer as the sun is shining as you enjoy the ride in the man made lake, how amazing?
Tennis
There’s no denying the strong sartorial qualities of the best tennis clothes for women. Those pleated skirts and preppy sweaters have the power to instantly put us all in the mood for a match no matter the level of your tennis prowess. If you don’t have these, wear a pair of comfortable shorts and shirt and you are ready for a match.
Jacuzzi Sundowner
On the rooftop of each villa is another open deck with a jacuzzi and heated plunge pool – enjoy food and drinks overlooking the Aberdare Mountains and watch the sun set behind the Lolldaiga hills. A bikini is an obvious pick for this beautiful moment watching the sun go down.
Swimming
The resort has a large pool for lazy afternoon swims, morning swims, anytime really, a relaxing activity with a cocktail bar right inside the pool where you can sip a cold cocktail as you bask in the sun and catch up on all the fun you have had during the entire stay with your friend or partner. Be sure to carry a bikini or three for this activity.
Garden Walk
Welcome to a little patch of paradise, take a walk in the beautiful and serene garden, surrounded by feeding ponies, flowers, plants, birds, a river stream and the most welcoming scents in the air as the sun washes the garden with a golden glow. For this morning or afternoon activity, you definitely want to dress in a summer ensemble from minis to florals, cotton poplin dresses, shorts and more.
