Kenya Coast Holiday

Diani Beach is widely regarded as Kenya's most beautiful beach - a sweeping stretch of powdery white sand lined with coconut palms and lapped by the warm, gem-turquoise waters of the Indian Ocean. It has earned a reputation as one of Africa's finest coastal destinations.

Beyond the beach, Diani sits beside the Kisite-Mpunguti Marine National Park and the Shimba Hills, offering world-class snorkelling and diving among vibrant coral reefs, as well as the chance to see dolphins, sea turtles and a wealth of tropical fish.
