Mombasa and Diani Beach Holidays

Gin-blue waves lap the ivory sands of Diani, a palm-fringed beach on the Kenyan coast. Time moves slowly here beneath the yolk-orange sun where your only obligation is to swing in a shaded hammock and occasionally wade into the warm water. The beach is protected by a distant reef, a coral garden home to kaleidoscopic marine life. Snorkellers bob along the surface, dhow boats sail by and divers venture further into the deep Indian Ocean to explore eerie shipwrecks. Between November and February, colossal whale sharks migrate through the deepest water while inland amid thick indigenous forest, ancient traditions prevail within the resident Digos community.

A couple of hours drive north, nearby Mombasa lies Kenya’s graceful historic port city. Settlers have converged here from across the ocean since the 12th century resulting in the old town’s tangle of Hindu temples and dome-topped mosques, its narrow lanes leading to the UNESCO relic, Fort Jesus. Meanwhile, the resorts here offer a convenient no-frills escape on the sand for those looking to kick off their shoes, enjoy the local charm and a good stint of Vitamin D.

Mombasa and Diani beach breaks are the perfect, relaxing way to end your Kenya adventure, so let our travel gurus arrange a stay in a resort perfectly suited to you.
