The sophisticated rooms and suites with traditional Arab and Swahili decor feature Wi-Fi, private balconies and flat-screen TVs. All also offer mosquito nets, and 24/7 room service is available.

Breakfast is served. Dining options include a seafood eatery, as well as a buffet-style restaurant with international fare. There’s also an outdoor infinity pool with a bar. A spa features beauty treatments, an indoor pool and a Jacuzzi.

There are endless amenities and facilities, including seven infinity pools connected as a cascading pool, a Baobab pool bar, assorted watersports, a white sandy beach, a spa and fitness centre with its own cove and indoor pool, Jacuzzi and six treatment rooms.

Swahili Beach Resort is a very large resort in a central position on Diani Beach, built and designed more to combine luxury and modern decor, whilst ensuring it has a minimum ecological impact.
