White sand and warm water
Luxury Diani Beach Holidays
Diani is Kenya's most celebrated beach — long white sands, turquoise reef-protected water and a relaxed, barefoot luxury atmosphere.
Overview
The perfect safari finale
Diani Beach stretches along Kenya's south coast, with powder-white sand, warm water and a protective offshore reef that keeps the sea calm and swimmable.
After the early starts and big wildlife of a safari, it is the ideal place to slow down and decompress before the journey home.
- Long white-sand beaches and palm groves
