DIANI HOUSE

Diani House: Our View

The beach at Diani, whilst busy these days, is still possibly the best along the coast and runs for miles. The House is a short walk to the famous bar and restaurant combination of the Forty Thieves and Ali Baba’s, and would suit a family or couple.

A good position in the area, small and intimate but it won't blow you away, we give it a 3 palms rating

Diani House: The Detail

Diani was originally the colonial holiday home of the Archer family, long before the development of this now famous beach area.
It is still a quiet retreat, away from the bustle of Diani. Consisting of 6 rooms, it is managed by Lulu and John with the emphasis being on the feeling that this is a home from home.

The bar is run on an honour system and you are very much free to come and go as you please, while the ever helpful staff are always in the background to help should you need.

Located on the quiet beach at Galu, Kinondo Kwetu is ideally located on the southern coastline of Kenya. The concept behind the lodge is one of tradition meets seclusion, and it is also one of the most versatile of the beach lodges on this coastline with family rooms and suites offered. A stunning little lodge that offers something a bit different with the spa, horse riding and nearby ruins in a relaxed and beautiful location.

Hemmingways

Indian Ocean Mainland

This hotel is a very good choice for those with a family or couples who like to be active while on holiday. Being relatively small compared to the goliaths around Mombasa, this hotel has really cornered the resort style hotel market and is also a must visit spot for the big game fishermen between August and April. All in all, it may not be quite suited to the quieter tastes of honeymooners, but the food and the surroundings certainly make it stand out.

Alfajiri Villas

Indian Ocean Mainland

Each of these vast, luxury villas exudes an air of calm and class. The Alfajiri Villas are located a stones throw away from what must be one of the best beaches in Africa and, with very high standards of service and cuisine, this definitely ranks in the top 5 beach destinations in Kenya. We are big fans of all of the villas and, with them being bookable in total or partially, they make a suitable getaway for families and couples alike.
