About this experience
Diani is the beach the postcards are made of: 17 kilometres of white sand, palm-shaded and lapped by a warm, reef-protected Indian Ocean. We base you all-inclusive at the Baobab Beach Resort & Spa — a clifftop resort spread over three wings above the sand, with meals, local drinks and most activities included, so once you arrive there's nothing left to arrange. This is how you finish a Kenya trip: slow mornings, a dhow cruise at sunset, a boat out to the Kisite marine park to snorkel with turtles and dolphins, and as much or as little as you want in between. We handle the flights, the transfers and the extras.

Signature experiences
Optional extras we can add to this trip. Prices are per person and confirmed when you book.
Sail the reef lagoon on a traditional wooden dhow as the sun sets — often with fresh seafood and drinks aboard.
The marine park off Diani is warm, clear and full of life — a boat out to the coral gardens for snorkelling or a first dive.
A full day south to Wasini Island — dolphin-spotting in the Kisite marine park, snorkelling, and a Swahili seafood lunch.
Diani's steady trade winds and flat lagoon make it one of Africa's best places to learn — gear and instructor included.
Day by day
What each day looks like, from pickup in Nairobi to drop-off.
Short flight Nairobi → Diani (Ukunda) or Mombasa, met and transferred to the Baobab Beach Resort & Spa. Check in, and the rest of the day is yours — the pools, the spa, or straight onto the sand. All meals and local drinks are included from the moment you arrive.
Baobab Beach Resort & Spa · All-inclusive
A lazy beach morning, then an afternoon dhow cruise — sail the lagoon, snorkel the reef, and anchor at a sand bar for sundowners as the sky turns pink. Back to the resort for dinner.
Baobab Beach Resort & Spa · All-inclusive
Boat trip down to Kisite-Mpunguti Marine Park to snorkel coral gardens with turtles and dolphins, with a Swahili seafood lunch on Wasini Island. Evening back at the resort — a spa treatment or a quiet drink on the terrace.
Baobab Beach Resort & Spa · All-inclusive
A full day at leisure, nothing scheduled — sleep in, book a spa treatment, try the watersports off the beach, or do gloriously little between the pool and the ocean. All meals and local drinks included, as ever.
Baobab Beach Resort & Spa · All-inclusive
A final swim and breakfast on the beach, then transfer to the airport and the flight back to Nairobi.

Common questions
What does all-inclusive at the Baobab cover?+
All your meals across the resort's restaurants, local branded drinks (beers, spirits, soft drinks, wine), and most resort activities and entertainment. Premium imported drinks, specialty à-la-carte dining and off-site excursions (like the dhow and Kisite trips, which we include separately) sit outside it.
When is the best time for the coast?+
December to March is hot, dry and gorgeous; July to October is cooler and pleasant. Avoid the April–June long rains when the sea can be churned up and seaweed washes in. The reef keeps the swimming calm year-round.
Can I combine this with a safari?+
That's exactly what most guests do — a few nights in the Mara, Amboseli or Tsavo, then fly to Diani to unwind. Tell us your safari and we'll bolt the beach on seamlessly with the right connecting flight.
Is Diani good for families and non-swimmers?+
Very — the reef makes a calm, shallow lagoon that's safe for kids, and the Baobab has pools and a kids' club too. Snorkelling is gentle, and the dhow cruise suits all ages.
