Butter House at Kivulini Paradise Beach.
The apartment had everything i needed for a comfortable stay and the staff were very friendly and helpful. The grounds are absolutely beautiful with 2 pools to choose from, and great views looking over ocean. The swing seats near the bar area were my favourite. The location is great, it's located in the quieter end of diani beach but close to amenities. I'd definitely stay here again!

Kite Villa Colobus
Matthias was an incredibly communicative and kind host. His place is beachfront, in a great location for Diani. I loved having a view of the garden and sand from the couches on the outside patio. We had a couple small issues, but Matthias was quick to communicate and handle those with us. Very grateful for the wonderful stay

Modern cottage in green surroundings
We had a wonderful stay at Kate’s Cottage! The property was absolutely beautiful, just like the photos, if not better in person. Irene, Renson, and Hasina, the staff at the cottage, were incredibly kind, attentive, and always ready to help, which made our experience even more enjoyable. The cottage offered a great level of privacy, which was especially appreciated by us as a Muslim family. It felt peaceful, safe, and secluded in the best way. While the beach is about a 20 minute walk away, tuk-tuks are readily available and made getting there quick and easy. This was only a very minor consideration in what was otherwise a fantastic stay. Overall, we highly recommend this place, especially for the value it offers. We would definitely love to come back!

Diani Beach Villa Holiday Stay Sea Breeze
The place was wonderful,Lena was a great host. Connected us to a chef ,Tera Delights whose meals were incredible. Good place in general but the swimming pool needs to be cleaned.

Malaika Villas in Diani Beach
We had a lovely stay here, so peaceful and in a great location so close to the beach. Plenty of restaurants to eat at, we enjoyed The Salty Squid & Kokko. Juliana the house manager was great and really responsive and helpful with all requests. Will be staying here again when we return to Kenya. Thank you ☺️

Warm Sea Sand
This place gives a feeling you won't get anywhere else. me and my friends had an amazing time in the company of Rose and Halima. Thanks to amazing Scarlett who helped with literally everything.

Villa Maisha Mazuri with large pool and terrace
Great week in Diani with our two daughters! Manager Suleyman is great! Very helpful, always smiling while Ayshe prepares like a chef what you ask him! Beautiful pool in an eden garden and super nice house! Very good relationship with the owners Oxana and Mathias! We hope to be able to come back;)

Villa Sultanas Diani
Enjoyed our stay at the Villa Sultanas with our large family. Very responsive host. Staff was great and the recommended Chef (Micah) was exceptional. Will book again if available.

Sky Villa - Luxury Pool Retreat
The villa is large and beautifully built and decorated. Looks exactly like the pictures. Thomas was extremely accommodating of us - a larger than average group and we had the most wonderful time. Thank you for accommodating some of our more particular requirements. It made the space that much more enjoyable. The chef’s team Duncan, Brighton and Morgan were amazing - every meal was delicious. Grace and the housekeeping team kept the place meticulous. Overall one of my favourite holiday spaces so far!

Luxury 7 Bedroom Self-Catered Beachfront Villa
Absolutely beautiful! Location is perfect. The house is stunning, with plenty of space for large groups, a lovely pool and breathtaking view. The staff were amazing and took great care of us. An unforgettable holiday!

K. NIRO BEACH HOUSE
Wonderful place to stay right on the beach. There are 2 separate houses in one compound. Connected by a private drive that is patroled and manned by security. Full house staff included minus the chef. Jacinda was able to set us up with a chef and staff to help prepare meals for our large group of 16. We rented both homes which worked great for our large family. The beach is pristine and has plenty to do with camel rides and kiteboarding right in front of the house. I would highly recommend this property.

Diani Beach | 3 Bedroom Villa - Lantana Galu Beach
Magical spot in Galu, incredible ocean access and swimming pool. Facilities are all high quality and the staff very friendly and proactive. Especially great if you have kids as there is a "baby pool" for them and lots of shaded green areas to run around. But still nice, quiet, romantic and good neighbouring activities for singles and couples. Thank you to the whole staff!

Majestic 5Bdr Villa in Diani with Private Pool. 4
The place was amazing, lovely people working with us everything was spot on loved every minute off it

Large Family Villa close to the beach
We stayed in Diani over New Years Eve (5 days) and it was fantastic. Joris is a great host, always helpful, replies very quickly and has lots of helpful recommendations for logistics (organized and pick-up from Mombasa airport) and Diani itself! The house was great as well, we were a group of nine adults and it was comfortable enough that everyone had their own space. The staff (chef, maid and house manager) are all extremely kind and considerate. We had a few food allergies in our group and the chef made sure to cook according to our needs. I can really recommend to ask him to cook local food, as it allows you to dive into Kenian cuisine. Overall we had a great stay and would come back in a heartbeat. Thank you very much to the host and staff!

Shani House, hidden Paradise close to Diani, Kenya
A haven of peace and a taste of paradise. Extraordinary luxurious Villa with all possible amenities you would dream off on the coast. We spent 5 days on a family trip : 4 adults and 3 teens. The experience has been unique to each of us and far above all expectations. The house manager Juma(J) is an exceptional leader native of Tiwi. Everything has a way forward with him. He knows what matters in Diani, has the right contact for the right answer,can book tables in the best restaurants and can negotiate the best safaris or islands visit. At the house you can book for yoga courses or massage. J is a highly trustable person. The chef we affectively called Baba was serving the finest Italian and Swahili cuisine. We took the opportunity of being at the coast to eat seafood freshly delivered by the fisherman (lobster, crabs, calamari, red snappers, octopus, jumbo prawns,...) The pool is certainly the best and largest private pool I've seen in the region and the sun is on the pool side the whole day. We were having some late night's swim and the water was still warm. Direct view to the river and the ocean but it will take you 5-10mn walk to the beach as you have to go around the house and along the river (tiwi side). For sure Shani is one of the best house for a Diani stay and by far the best value you can get for a 5 star service. A real hidden paradise I'm happy we've discovered. We will definitely come back. Thanks Njogu and Juma.

Kimbi's 3BR Coastal Villa - 4 Mins To The Beach
Perfect spot, best location ever! This place has it all just minutes from the beach, close to shops and restaurants, and the house itself is stunning! Super clean, tastefully furnished and spacious, perfect for our group. The pool was huge and sparkling clean we spent hours there! Big thanks to the hosts, Erick and Lilian, who made everything so easy for us. From organizing a pick up from the station to welcoming us with snacks and drinks, they truly went above and beyond. There was also plenty of things to do nearby, and affordable as well. So much fun packed into a few days we didn’t want to leave! We shall definitely be back soon!

The Shore House - 2 Bedroom Villa with a pool
Great little villa located 60 meters from the stupendous beach of Diani, yet hidden in the relaxing shade of the forest. You get to choose between swiming in the sea or under the shade of the small swimming pool. Walking distance from a series of beach restaurant. Very clean and well decorated place and very helpful and responsive host. We'll come back!

Luxurious 4 bdrm villa by the beach in Diani Beach
Great big place, with tasteful furnishings and beautiful stained glass windows. Joseph is a great cook, and Rebecca friendly and helpful. It's a little closer to the house next door than we were expecting from the photos. The beach is stunning, and the shared pool on the beach side is great for kids. Recommended!

Beautifully designed villa close to beach
We had a great time at George's villa. It's spacious and has everything you would need for a comfortable stay. The housekeeper was very efficient and respectful of our space which we appreciated. She kept the place very clean. The house is well decorated and airy. AC's and fans work perfectly. The patio area receives a very nice breeze and has a nice shade making it very comfortable even during the day. The neighbourhood is notably quiet and peaceful. The shared pool area is great, but could do with just a few improvements to make it even nicer and more welcoming. The hosts were very communicative and cooperative and eager to meet our expectations. We highly recommend especially for travellers looking for a homely experience.

Marabi Luxury Villa
We really enjoyed our time at this property. Everything was clean and well maintained. Biggy was a great help and made sure we were right at home. The pool was marvelous! Overall the apartment was great and we really enjoyed our time here. Would recommend this to anyone!

Villa Massai with private pool and Wi-Fi
This place was absolute paradise! I was absolutely blown away with the beauty of the villa and the hospitality of everyone. I will be staying here every time I'm in Diani!!

Tiwi House
Perfect location, directly at the beach! Huge house, super nice staff, all you need for a perfect holiday. Thank you so much! We spent a wonderful week in the house and my family and friends all agree we would love to come back!

Nature's Villa: Spacious Villa.
We had a great stay at nature’s villa! The villa is a bit far off the main road down dirt roads but we had hired a car so it wasn’t a problem and when we used taxis and tuk tuks they had no problem finding the villa. As it’s further off the main road it does mean it’s much more peaceful when you’re there! House is great, pool and outdoor space is great and we especially loved having Max the very friendly German shepherd there, my kids wanted to take him home!!! James the house caretaker is very friendly and helpful and always smiling!
