There is an on-site restaurant, plus free private parking and free WiFi are available. The accommodation offers airport transfers, while a bicycle rental service is also available.

We really liked staying at Tombo house. Our room was very spacious and it had AC plus fans (bedroom and balcony) which helped a lot because it was super hot outside. There is also a pool with sunbeds for the guests. The breakfast is in a buffet form so you can pick whatever you like and there is also a bar with drinks and tapas in case you get hungry. Staff was super friendly and helpful ❤️

Boasting garden views, Flamboyant Diani Beach provides accommodation with an outdoor swimming pool, a garden and a bar, around less than 1 km from Diani Beach. This beachfront property offers access to free WiFi and free private parking. Featuring family rooms, this property also provides guests with a sun terrace.

Stunning place with the most amazing sea view, lovely staff and pool. We stayed a total of 6 nights in two different rooms one was aircon and one was not. The first room we stayed in was at the main Flamboyant house which was our favourite, the rooms are in the same building as the dining area and bar so had a bit more action but it was never loud as bar closes at 10pm which is perfect if you are early risers like us. Water was strong and hot, and there are some real lovely touches like beach towels, lovely artisan soaps, lotions and conditioners (my sun dry hair thanks you). Breakfast is included and is very well prepared, in fact all the food is so good we ate here almost every day and the view of the palm trees and ocean is amazing it never got old. The second room we had was in the building Johari next door, it’s a more secluded quiet building which has a lovely veranda perfect for reading a book and enjoying the view. It didn’t have aircon so we struggled a bit more being used to cold weather, but there are 3 fans in the room one on each side of the bed so it’s pleasant, and once sun is fully set it cools off a bit. The beach has sun loungers which are set just up from the sand so you can rest in peace from any beach boys trying to sell you things, which can get annoying after awhile. Otherwise you can lay by the pool in a number of extremely comfortable beds arranged around. We honestly felt like we were in paradise! Finally a word of mention for the staff, they made excellent drinks (Try the Kenyan dawa it’s fantastic!) greeted with a smile and made our stay very enjoyable. Special thanks to Angie for helping organising our stay and transport as well as Alex on the serving staff who was such a happy soul and always made us smile.

This property offers access to a patio, darts, free private parking and free WiFi. Guests can make use of the sun terrace or the outdoor fireplace, or enjoy views of the pool and garden.

We had a wonderful time at Zarafa House! The host, Anne, and the whole crew were incredibly friendly and helpful. Our room was spacious and clean, and we loved the fresh fruit and diverse foods at breakfast each morning. The garden and pool were perfect for relaxation - we spent many afternoons lounging by the pool and reading books in the comfortable sun beds. Anne gave us so many great tips on places to visit in the area, from day trips and beaches to excellent restaurants. Her recommendations helped us make the most of our stay in Diani Beach. We thoroughly enjoyed our time at Zarafa House and would return if we visit again.

Situated in Diani Beach, Footprints House provides accommodation with a garden. The property is set 1.2 km from Ukunda Airstrip. The property features pool views and an outdoor pool.

At the guest house, every room comes with a patio. With a private bathroom, rooms at Footprints House also offer a garden view. All rooms feature a wardrobe.

It was a great time spent at Footprints. Feeling like home due to very hospital hosts, staff and incredible dogs and cats, who became our friends for these 6 days. Going to the beach or main road with cafes and shopping centre is very easy from Footprints. The territory is green and shady even with Baobab nearby. On the way to the beach you will meet lizards, monkeys and birds. The beach area here is quiet and not many people. NB. Try the food in Searenity hotel which is 50 meters down . The great service, food and ocean view costs even less than in cafes at the main road.

    The rooms were nice and very clean. The staff extraordinary: friendly, warm, resourceful, helpful…Food was very tasty and was beyond our expectations. Location of the villa is great: very close to the ocean. They were great with our daughter, and also with our grandma. Both of them (and, of course, everyone else) felt at home, taken care of and welcome. We felt safe and secure. Thanks for everything!

    Quiet location at 200m from the beach, beautifully decorated traditional villas in a well maintained garden, excellent personal cook, nice massage. The swimming pool is also very nice to spend time with the family. Lucia had arranged a taxi to pick us at Mombasa airport and a delicious dinner -Swahili prawns- was ready when we arrived. Nice selection of local crafts at reasonnable price in the small boutique. Thanks for everything, we loved our stay!

    Wonderful staff who are attentive and understand what good services means, and that clientele are looking to spend a peaceful holiday. This is a hotel that doesn't take its customers for granted, and delivers value for money (which is refreshing to see in Kenya). I recommend Ocean Village for the great location, clean and comfortable rooms. Both exteriors and interiors are beautifully designed. You could spend hours on the porch looking out on the garden and the ocean.
