Explore the Beaches

 

Diani Beach

Voted one of Africa’s best beaches, Diani is postcard-perfect. Think powdery white sands, turquoise waters, and swaying palm trees. Swim, sunbathe, sip a coconut, or just stroll for miles—hakuna matata style.

 

Tiwi Beach

Just north of Diani, Tiwi is a quieter, more secluded escape. Ideal for picnics, tide pool explorations, and those dreamy sunset views. Perfect for when you want to leave the crowds behind.
