Location
The resort is two hours south of the much busier Mombasa area, and only 15 minutes’ drive from Ukunda Airport.
Accommodation
Situated amongst towering palms and tropical gardens, six three-bedroom villas and a private boutique hotel provide a spectacular and relaxing beach-front experience away from the crowds. Each of the six Garden Villas has three double bedrooms, all with en-suite bathrooms, all fully air-conditioned and an ideal choice for families. Decorated with local artwork and custom-built furniture, the villas are the height of comfort and luxury.
There are large open-plan living and dining areas, a spacious veranda and secluded rooftop terrace, and a large swimming pool complete with sunken cocktail bar and jacuzzi (the pool is shared between occupants of all six villas). A team of personal chef, maid and waiter will be on hand at all times to meet all your requests and ensure your days are as stress-free and enjoyable as possible.

The Boutique Hotel is effectively a huge converted private house, and has just five spacious rooms with a maximum capacity of only ten guests. (It is ideal for couples or honeymooners as children under the age of 12 are not permitted.) Decorated with neutral tones and finished with crisp white linens, there are three Deluxe Rooms and two Deluxe Suites, each fully air-conditioned with en-suite bathrooms, seating area, and balcony or veranda, all offering stunning views across the resort and out to the Indian Ocean.
Experiences
- Dining is entirely bespoke for each guest, with your meals discussed and planned daily with the chef and taking place in the dining area overlooking the pool, privately in your room or even in a secluded part of the resort. Be sure to try the fresh seafood - the resort’s speciality!
- For active guests kite-surfing, windsurfing, stand-up paddleboarding, snorkelling and Scuba diving are a selection of the activities available - conditions in the Diani area ideal for kite-surfing in particular.
- Relaxing days of island-hopping by dhow or dolphin spotting can be arranged and the Leisure Lodge Golf Club is located just twenty minutes away.
- On-site you can indulge in some treatments at the Cloud Nine Spa or try out the resort’s gym. Yoga, pilates, personal training and other fitness classes can be arranged.
- Head to nearby resorts to enjoy tennis, golf and horse-riding.
