Diani
An easy, attractive beach finish with the widest range of accommodation.
The Kenyan coast
Safari &
the Indian Ocean.
White-sand beaches, warm water and centuries of Swahili history, easily combined with safari by air.
Our take
Choose the right
coast for you.
Kenya’s beach areas have very different personalities.
Diani offers a wide range of resorts and villas; Watamu combines a relaxed atmosphere with marine activities; Lamu is rich in Swahili character and suits travellers who value a sense of place. Tides, seasons and flight connections all influence our recommendation.
Watamu
A relaxed coastal town known for its marine environment, water sports and boutique hotels.
Lamu
Swahili culture, dhow sailing and small characterful properties on Lamu and Manda islands.
