Located directly on Diani Beach Road, Bahari Dhow Beach Villas comprises 24 fully furnished, self-contained double-storey villas, each with three large en-suite bedrooms, a fully equipped kitchen, and separate dining and living rooms — a genuine “home away from home” for families and groups of friends. Guests can choose to self-cater or hire a private cook to prepare breakfast, lunch and dinner to their own schedule and taste.

The property features three spacious outdoor pools spread across the grounds, along with a restaurant, bar and free live music, making it easy to relax without leaving the property. Its beachfront position and proximity to Diani’s shopping centre and Ukunda Airstrip (around 10 minutes away) add to the convenience. Reviews are mixed: many guests highlight the excellent beach access, spacious villas and friendly on-site team, while others have flagged slower-than-expected customer service and booking communication at busier times — worth factoring in when planning your dates and confirming details in advance.

Bahari Dhow Beach Villas suits families, honeymooners and groups of friends wanting private, self-contained beachfront accommodation with the flexibility to cook for themselves or be looked after by a private chef.
