About this property
Situated right on the white sand beach of the Indian Ocean, Diani Sea Lodge is an all-inclusive resort surrounded by lush tropical gardens. Set on the most beautiful unspoiled crystal-white sandy beaches on Kenya’s south coast, the expansive compound is shaded by coconut palms and a myriad of exotic trees and flowers, offering an ultimate tropical paradise where various species of monkeys can regularly be seen around the grounds. The hotel features 168 rooms across an expansive tropical garden setting, with reviewers consistently praising the welcoming atmosphere: guests describe friendly, attentive staff who add personal touches, a beachfront location and scenic views as major highlights, and rooms that are frequently noted for being spacious, clean, and comfortable. It’s earned a Tripadvisor Travelers’ Choice award, ranking among the top 10% of properties globally based on consistently great reviews.

The hotel features 168 rooms across an expansive tropical garden setting, with reviewers consistently praising the welcoming atmosphere: guests describe friendly, attentive staff who add personal touches, a beachfront location and scenic views as major highlights, and rooms that are frequently noted for being spacious, clean, and comfortable. It’s earned a Tripadvisor Travelers’ Choice award, ranking among the top 10% of properties globally based on consistently great reviews.
This is a strong fit for families and groups in particular — the resort strikes a balance between intimate, personalised service and offering all essential amenities, maintaining an authentic coastal atmosphere unlike larger resort complexes. Sustainability is also a genuine differentiator here: every room is provided with reusable water bottles, and the hotel has phased out single-use plastic beverage bottles entirely.
