Holiday in Diani Beach

About Diani Beach

Diani Beach is East Africa's dream beach — a 17-kilometer long stretch of powdery white coral sand, lined with coconut palms and washed by the turquoise blue Indian Ocean. Voted multiple times as Africa's best beach, Diani combines tropical postcard idyll with Kenyan hospitality and a relaxed atmosphere that instantly transforms wanderlust into pure happiness. The offshore coral reef protects the entire bay and creates a natural lagoon with calm, crystal-clear water — ideal for swimming, snorkeling, and stand-up paddling. Doctor fish, parrotfish, moray eels, and with a bit of luck, sea turtles and dolphins frolic among the corals. The Colobus Conservation in the heart of Diani protects the rare black-and-white Angola colobus monkeys (Colobus monkeys), which leap through the treetops of the coastal rainforests. Bridges over the road and guided tours connect species protection with unforgettable animal encounters. Wasini Island, accessible by Dhow boat, offers snorkeling tours in the Kisite-Mpunguti Marine National Park, where swimming with dolphins and intact coral reefs come together in a small area. At the southern end of Diani lies the Kongo Mosque, a 16th-century ruin amidst a sacred casuarina forest. The beach bar culture of Diani is legendary: Forty Thieves Beach Bar, Ali Barbour's Cave Restaurant (in a natural cave under the open sky), and Sails Beach Bar and Restaurant offer African and international cuisine with your feet in the sand.
