Diani Beach, Kenya

Nature Walks Beach Snorkelling Destination weddings Dolphin Watching

Laze away the days with a stay on Diani Beach, a long stretch of silky white sand lying on the shores of the Indian Ocean. Close to Mombasa in Kenya, Diani Beach is the perfect venue for relaxing holidays and romantic honeymoons.

Fun Activities on Diani Beach

Diani's white sand beach and the sparkling blue water are ideal for diving, windsurfing, sailing, skiing, snorkelling or sunbathing. Each hotel has its own diving school or colllaborating with a tour operator.

Kisite Mpunguti Marine Park is particularly interesting for divers and snorkellers. The marine ecosystem includes coral-reef and 4 small islands; the Mpunguti Islands. The underwater kingdom has remarkable colours of 252 species of fish, about 56 genera of hard corals, 2 popular species of sea grass and a good number of sponges.

Dolphin and Whale watching is another activity visitors to the marine park enjoy. Between July and December, humpback whales are spotted either as individuals or as pods.

Additionally, you can take a walk to the Colobus Conservation on the beach to see primates. The trust seeks to protect the Angolan Colobus monkey among other primates. Nature walks can also be organized for guests that wish to see wilder primates.

Visit Kongo Mosque is a 16th century building and the only remainingstructure in Diani of the Swahili culture. It is located at the end of the beach road in the north.

Where to Shop in Diani

From most Diani resorts, you can reach Bombolulu Workshops and Cultural Centre, which is perfect for shopping for crafts. Diani Shopping Mall is another good spot and it sells a vast range of clothes and cosmetics.

Getting to Diani Beach
