Familia House, Private Pool, Tranquil Diani Beach
We loved staying at Familia House! Everyone was very welcoming and nice! The place was also incredible for our family of four! This was our first time in Diani and we couldn’t have chosen a better place to stay! Beach is less than 10 min walk away. They also have amazing dogs Mikki and Lala!😭❤️❤️ The chef was also amazing!! 10/10 experience, can’t wait to come back again in future!

Waterside Luxury Villa Tiwi Beach Kenya
Great place to stay. Secluded, private and wonderfully located. Kitchen staff superlative. Pool great for all the family. Very roomy.

Villa Shaanti
We had wonderful days at Villa Shaanti, the house is as beautiful as in the pictures. Ibrahim, Faradi and Seth who work at the villa went out of their way to make sure we had a good time during our stay. We couldn't ask for better service. It has been a pleasure to visit Villa Shaanti and we would love to come again.

Beautiful Sandarusi Beach House, Tiwi Beach, Diani
Sandarusi is a beautiful house, set on our favourite stretch of beach - we'll be back! Thanks to Anthony and Rodgers for looking after us so well

African time
African house is beautiful with a well kept large garden and pool. It Is very clean with diffent animal themed bed rooms. located in a central location that makes it easy to access the beach, shops and restaurants. Dog friendly too meaning we took our pet with us. The staff are really friendly and very proactive. The host is very responsive and helpful. I have already recommended it to my family and Friends for their Christmas holidays.

Basilica Beach House
Beautiful and large house, garden, and beach. Staff was extremely helpful and friendly, in-house chef made delicious food, the beach was basically private and the owners communicated well with us. The location is fairly remote but even without our own transport, we were able to take a taxi to diani without a problem. The beach itself is fairly shallow so massive swims are not really an option but snorkeling works and it is still very beautiful. Would come here again any day. Thank you team!

Sukuma guest house
We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Elodie's place! From the moment we arrived, everything was seamless. The check-in process was easy, and the space was exactly as described—clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully decorated. The location was perfect, close to everything we needed but still quiet and peaceful. I’d highly recommend staying here if you’re looking for a relaxing and enjoyable experience in Diani. Would definitely come back!

beautiful cottage near the beach
We had a relaxing, pleasant stay at Pili Pili Villa. The place is comfy in a rustic way and we liked it for that. The kitchen appliances have seen better days and are rusty - but that is to be expected due to the corrosive sea air. It was perfectly fine for making sandwiches, tea and smoothies. William, the caretaker, was very friendly.

Shalom cottages Diani Unit 3
Shalom Cottages is an awesome place to be in. The owner is quite understanding and can accommodate any small changes in the timelines. The environment is clean. The swimming pool area is clean. It is a second home to people with a family. The staff, Gibran, is always ready to help. Amazing experience. Would highly recommend.

Mzuri Beach House - Diani - Kenya
The house is beautifully presented with 4 enormous double bedrooms, two with equally enormous balconies. The pictures do not do the property justice. Mzuri House is part of a well run little complex. Security is ever present and you feel perfectly at ease at all times. The house feels very private and is 20M from the quieter Galu Beach, an extension of Diani beach. Sails and Salty Squid restaurants are excellent and only 100M. However the main attractions at Mzuri House are Liz the housekeeper and Shee the chef. Both were amazing hosts. Liz will communicate with before you arrive. She will arrange everything for you from airport pick-ups to restaurant bookings as well as keep the house spotless. Shee the chef prepares delicious breakfasts and lunch and / or dinner. All meals were extraordinary local dishes that our usually difficult to please 3 kids devoured! We can not recommend Mzuri House enough and in particular Liz and Shee.

White House, beach cottage
We lived our stay at the White House cottage. It exceeded our expectations and we would love to return. We are a family of four and it was perfect. The staff was so warm and helpful. Definitely hire the local chef recommendation. We had delicious food in the convenience of our own veranda looking at the ocean. The location right on the beach with the private, expansive grounds was perfect. The house has incredible views and is extremely comfortable. I highly recommend. If you have a big group, try to rent the White House next door and have an amazing holiday with family or friends.

Diani Marine_Garden Villa_on beach front property
We spend 6 nights at the beautiful garden villa and we had a great time. It was amazing to be so close to nature - and everything that goes with it. We had some incidents where monkeys came in and stole our groceries from the fridge. We solved the problem by putting a chair in front, and then there was no more steeling. We could only laugh at it, and it just made our visit more authentic. But a quick fix could be to put some simple children locks on the fridge. The villa is located a 10 minute walk from Chandarana (grocery store) and it had direct access to the beach, where sun-beds were provided so beach sellers would not disturb you. The staff were amazing and very kind. So a big thank you to Sylvia, Freda, mama Hawa Abdahllah, David, Daniel, Hassan, and everybody else for making us feel welcome, save, and looked after.

Tiwani Sunset. Tiwi Beach. A Secret Oasis.
Overall amazing experience all around. Margaret the cook and cleaning lady was amazing. We really enjoyed the food and service. If you are looking for a secluded place - this is a great one. A couple of things to note: 1) The printed instructions are outdated. None of the beach guides were working there. But it wasn't a problem - we met Amos who did an amazing job. You meet him on the beach. 2) The location is a bit distant from the shops / supermarkets. It is possible to deliver things there but you should think about it beforehand. 3) In one shower there was only hot water and in another shower there was only cold water. Overall, the houses could use a bit of renovation. 4) There was some music coming from the neighborhood that disturbed our sleep on one of the nights. None of the above were major points - overall, the experience was amazing, highly recommended.

Beautiful decorated housing in the heart of Diani
Very nice host, who is around. 24/7 the entrance is staffed with personnel - feels very safe and convenient if you need something. The accommodation is just nice. Even if you travel with multiple friends/family. It is spacious. Cleaning (incl. dishwashing done every day). Beach, supermarket, Restaurants all in walking distance. Next time I come to diani, this is the place to go. I fully recommend.

Unique Villa ~ Pool/Barbecue/Air Con $
Silvio’s villa was a fantastic place to stay! The house was large and well maintained, giving us plenty of space to relax. His team was attentive and welcoming, and Silvio himself was quick to respond and very helpful throughout. We had a really enjoyable experience and would absolutely stay here again. Highly recommended!
