Think palm trees, sandy beaches and beautiful blue seas. Welcome to Diamonds Malindi.
Diamonds Malindi is a laid-back beachside retreat on Kenya’s coast, just outside the historic town of Malindi. It’s perfect for a quiet beach break after the red dust and wild energy of a Tsavo safari. Think palm trees, sea breezes, and winding garden paths leading to spacious rooms and suites tucked among tropical gardens, many with private verandas or plunge pools. If you’re easing into coastal life after wrapping up an adventure, this is an ideal spot to trade game drives for ocean dips, and bush sunsets for beachside cocktails.
Why we love Diamonds Malindi
-
The suites are quietly generous, with lofty ceilings, carved wood details, and a private terrace or balcony for slow mornings and garden views.
-
Open-air and beachside restaurants serve fresh, unfussy Italian and seafood fare, with many veggies plucked from the on-site garden. Three easygoing bars keep things relaxed, whether you're by the pool or on the sand.
-
With calming scents and a relaxed atmosphere, the spa offers saltwater pools, signature massages, and ample time to unwind.
-
From poolside lounging to beach club days and gentle water sports, there’s plenty to dip into. Kids can splash around at the Simba Club while you take things at your own pace.
Rooms
Whether you’re after garden calm, poolside views, or your own private plunge pool, you’ll find a room here for every kind of unwind. Superior Rooms have a simple look and feel, and are garden-facing, perfect for laid-back mornings on the terrace. Deluxe Rooms offer more space, style, and the option of a private pool, while families might opt for interconnecting options or a spacious Masai Suite. Expect cool tiles underfoot and all the comforts you’d want for a simple beach break.
