A seamless blend of wild coastal beauty and laid-back luxury, Diani Beach is a destination that slows time and heightens every sense. Located on Kenya’s south coast, about 30 km south of Mombasa, Diani stretches for over 17 kilometers of powder-soft white sand, framed by lush forests and the turquoise waters of the Indian Ocean. This is where sunrise yoga meets sunset dhow cruises, where barefoot walks on the beach lead to fresh seafood feasts, and where marine life flourishes just beyond the reef.
