Diani Beach,White Sand And Blue Water

Powder-white sand, warm water and a very good excuse to do nothing after your safari.

Overview

Beach Time Done Properly

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.
