Review

Swahili Beach Resort is a very large resort in a central position on Diani Beach, built and designed more than ten years ago to combine luxury and modern decor, whilst ensuring it has a minimum ecological impact. Its Arabic architecture and local Swahili-influenced finish has created 140 rooms and stylish suites with breathtaking views across the gardens, cascading pools or the Indian Ocean.

Location

Along the stretch of beach in Diani, Southern Kenya, Swahili Beach Resort sits in a central and attractive area. Diani offers a range of watersports, kite surfing, sky diving, dhow trips, sundowner safaris, beach bars and many more. The only downside is that the beach at the front of the property is one of the narrower sections which is often covered at high tide.

Layout

As a resort of 140 rooms, the hotel grounds are very expansive! There are endless amenities and facilities, including seven infinity pools connected as a cascading pool, a Baobab pool bar, assorted watersports, a white sandy beach, a spa and fitness centre with its own cove and indoor pool, Jacuzzi and six treatment rooms. And when it comes to dining, there are no limits at Swahili Beach, as the five restaurants specialise in spice, seafood, Kenyan and Swahili delicacies.

Rooms

Standard, superior and suites make up the 140 rooms which all sit in two-storey buildings around the grounds of the resort. The architecture, with its high ceilings and beautiful carved arches, have made the rooms light and airy, which gives guests an open and welcoming feel as soon as you walk in. Superior and suites have terraces, with spacious lounge areas and cushioned benches.

Wide-ranging facilities and dining choices

Not to everyone's taste as it is a large resort
