DIANI BEACH

The multiple award-winning stretch of immaculate 13KMs of tropical Beach whose fame supersedes it. The sun-kissed powdery belt is flanked by luxuriant palm trees that come to a sudden stop. The clear turquoise waters of the ocean gently tag at its shore, protecting the delicate reef beneath like a Mother’s Love.

Diani has some of the best accommodation in Kenya, from budget party hostels to funky kitesurfing lodges and intimate honeymoon spots. Most places are spread along the beach road, hidden behind a line of forest.

Diani is an hour's flight from Nairobi - and 2 hours' drive from Mombasa Island, including a ferry crossing. When lazing in a hammock gets tiring, visit the coral mosques with their archways that overlook the open ocean, venture into the sacred forests where guides hug trees that speak in their ancestors’ voices, or take in the monkey sanctuary – all are good ways to experience more of the coast than the considerable charms of sun and sand.
