Swahili Beach Resort

Swahili Beach Resort is a large beach resort on Diani Beach on Kenya’s south coast, south of Mombasa, and a popular place to relax after a safari. The architecture blends Mediterranean style exteriors with Swahili inspired interiors, with arches, whitewashed walls and airy atriums, and the grounds are lit at night. Rooms are set in two storey clusters around landscaped gardens, and most have a lounge and a terrace or balcony, with air conditioning and large bathrooms; suites add a kitchenette and dining terrace. A key feature is a swimming pool that steps down in several tiers towards the beach. A spacious spa and gym with treatment rooms, jacuzzi and steam rooms offers plenty of pampering. Dining options include a main restaurant, an Indian and Swahili fusion restaurant, and seafood and Italian restaurants by the beach. Activities on offer include snorkelling, diving, sport fishing, boat trips, birdwatching and other watersports. The resort suits honeymooners, couples celebrating an anniversary and families with older children looking for a full service beach stay.
