Hotels in Watamu, Kilifi county are expected to be fully booked from December 20, operators have said.
They said Italian tourists are among the highest number of visitors to the area.
Guido Bertoni, general manager of Garado Beach Resors, said tourists have gained confidence in the sector as elections have ended.
"Tourism is picking up ... after election, re-elections and there has been no bad press or riots," he said.
He said they have had two Indian weddings in the past week, which are a major attraction.

He also called for the speedy expansion of the Malindi airport to accommodate international flights.
"If it's expanded, we can have tourists throughout the year," he added.
Watamu has over 20 hotels that have a high number of visitors in the festive period.
Roberto Macri, general manager of Seven Islands Resort, said investors shifted to Watamu because it is safe, the beaches are clean and people can walk freely.
He also noted concerns over the airport's expansion, adding that the distance on road is long.

"Currently tourists from Europe have to travel by road after an long flights from Mombasa to Malindi or Watamu, which is tiresome,’’ he said.
With the tarmacking of Malindi Salagate road, it will only take one hour to reach Tsavo National Park from Watamu.
This development will be further boosted once international flights land directly in Malindi from Europe.
