As well as an unmatchable location on the south coast, just a short hop from Ukundu airstrip, where untouched beaches fan out from the villas. Dining is completely personalised, mostly on a Mediterranean theme, with all meals and drinks included in the stay, served in your private villa or al fresco as the mood takes you.

For getting out and active a driver on demand can take you to go snorkelling, diving, deep sea fishing, kit surfing or even sky diving. There golf nearby, or visit a neaby village and carefully selected community project. Or many guests just relax in their villa for the duration of their stay.  

The Cliff Villa offers an unforgettable panorama above a coral cliff. Bright and open, it’s the epitome of barefoot luxury, with a large veranda and pool stretching towards the beach. There are four spacious bedrooms accommodating from 2 to 9 guests.  It’s all exposed beams and whitewashed walls encapsulating a certain seafaring and adventurers tradition, an Indian Ocean bolthole, the centrepiece being the wonderful  turret suite.

The Garden Villa features four suites and up to eight guests, naturally all with en-suite facilities which are richly appointed. Each suite, which are all the same size, are individually decorated. It’s an ideal villa for a group of friends or extended family.  As the name suggests, the Garden Villa is set around a lush landscaped veranda which leads down to the wide expanse of Diani beach. With large wooden beams, a makuti roof and okra floor, the architecture invites the natural colours of the coast, and the attention to detail in the décor is a distinctive feature.

The Beach Villa is located just a few steps from the talcum sands of Diani Beach. The private swimming pool sits in front of the veranda, merging into the ocean and horizon. Constructed from hard woods and open to the environment, guests feel those cooling sea breezes and smell those tropical fragrances. There four rooms, with three double and a twin idea for up to four adults and four teenagers or children and plenty of space. Alternatively the villa is a wonderful private space for a couple.

‘Kingdom of the giraffe’

The Giraffe Manor is a firm favourite for those visiting Nairobi, offering the chance to feed and photograph these beautiful creatures over the breakfast table or even at the front door. These tame animals form part of the fabric of the hotel gracing the lawns and a trip here is a great way to get up close and personal with them. The manor is an elegant place to stay with fine home cooking and tastefully presented bedrooms.  Rates at the hotel include all meals (on full board basis, breakfast and evening meal included on half board) and wine with lunch and dinner as well as entrance to the giraffe centre and a sightseeing vehicle during your stay.
