Located to the south of Mombasa town, Diani Beach is one of Kenya's oldest beach resort areas. Blessed with a long, white sand beach, this area has a number of delightful hotels, designed to suit all budgets.

Diani offers excellent water-sports, with windsurfing, sailing, snorkeling, water-skiing, parasailing and scuba diving all easily available from most of the hotels along the beach.

Diani offers small, private hotels as well as large resorts. Although there are many hotels in the area, most are designed with local materials and have extensive gardens, ensuring the area doesn't feel too crowded.

A large number of restaurants, nightclubs, discos and other nightly entertainment venues are available within and outside the hotels. For a family with children ranging from tiny tots to teenagers, Diani is a wonderful beach resort destination with activities for all ages!
