Powder-white sand, warm water and a very good excuse to do nothing after your safari.
Powder-white sand, warm water and a very good excuse to do nothing after your safari.
Diani is Kenya’s classic beach: a long stretch of soft white sand, palm trees and warm Indian Ocean water. It is the perfect way to wind down after the bush.
The reef keeps the water calm, colobus monkeys swing through the trees and dolphins can be seen on boat trips to Kisite-Mpunguti Marine Park. Inland, Shimba Hills offers forest walks and sable antelope.
Resorts range from barefoot cottages to private villas, so there is something for every mood and budget.
Diani is warm all year, with hot, dry months from December to March and calmer seas from June to October.
Weather patterns shift from year to year, so ask us about the dates you have in mind.
The right place shapes your whole trip. Here are the three styles we recommend most.
Every day is different, but this is the rhythm most guests fall in love with.
Coffee, cool air and the best light of the day.
Wildlife is most active in the first hours.
A hot meal in the open, with a view.
Pool, nap, walk or a visit nearby.
Fresh food, shade and a good story.
Softer light and busy animals.
A cold drink and a wide sky.
Lanterns, fire and a sky full of stars.
Starting points, not set menus. Tap one to see the days, then tell us what to change.
Yes, especially in a private villa with a pool and a chef.
Usually from June to October, with warm, clear water.
Mostly. The tide moves a lot, so we plan swims and trips around it.
Fly into Ukunda airport, which is close to most resorts.
