Set in Msambweni, a few steps from Msambweni Beach, Sawa Sawa Beach House offers accommodation with an outdoor swimming pool, free private parking, a garden and a private beach area. Offering a terrace, the property is located within 16 km of Kaya Kinondo Sacred Forest. Guests can enjoy African and local dishes at the restaurant or have a cocktail at the bar. This was the BEST stay I have had in Diani! Stacey was an amazing host, who took care of all of our needs from late check-in and dinner to decorating the rooms for our friends' birthdays. The rooms had spacious bathrooms with hot water, fans, smart mosquito netting, and comfy beds. The place is gorgeous - all one floor with picturesque coastal architecture - the rooms surround a courtyard that opens out to the the pool, which was clean, the perfect size and depth, and surrounded with lounge chairs. At the other end of the pool is the beach, where they have a covered beach patio with coaches and tables and other private, cozy beach sitting area right on the beach (they have chairs, a swing and couches). The beach was quiet and there were far less sea urchins than in other areas of Diani, which made exploring the ocean much easier and I would say also would be ideal if you had children with you too! The chef, Rashid, makes delicious versions of all local coast dishes, we barely felt the need to leave the hotel. We felt like we were in paradise and our whole group of 5 had only wonderful things to say - we can't wait to go back!

Boasting a patio with pool views, a private beach area and pool with a view, Sea la Blue can be found in Ukunda, close to Diani Beach and 1.9 km from Leisure Lodge Golf Club. This beachfront property offers access to a terrace, free private parking and free WiFi. The property is non-smoking and is situated 9.2 km from Colobus Conservation. The host (Mike) was pleasant and responsive. He drove me to buy dinner at night cause I arrived around 8pm-ish, for my safety. His colleague (Donald) was also super helpful, promptly responding to my requests - I had to mention this! I was there for a wedding, so I didn't really stay long enough within the Apartment to enjoy the serenity of the place - like the spacious room, Netflix, the beach, etc. I was always out for wedding activities. Wish I stayed longer.

Boasting a balcony with garden views, pool with a view and a garden, Baali Diani Apartments can be found in Ukunda, close to Diani Beach and 2.3 km from Leisure Lodge Golf Club. With city views, this accommodation provides a patio. The apartment features rooms with air conditioning, free private parking and free WiFi. A Delightful & Relaxing Stay at Baali Diani Apartments I spent three nights at Baali Diani Apartments with my partner, and it was a wonderful stay. From arrival to check-out, the staff were warm, attentive and genuinely eager to help — special mention to Dan (night watcher) and chef Clara, both of whom went above and beyond. The apartment was spotless, nicely furnished, with good air-conditioning (a must in the warm evenings), and the kitchen well-stocked for basic use. Breakfast was fresh and nicely presented, giving a good start to the day. The garden and pool area offer a peaceful escape, perfect for relaxing after beach time. While it’s not right on the sand, the beach is still easily walkable, and the location feels safe and calm. A few minor notes: more kitchen utensils (chopping board, additional pots) might help for guests who cook more. Also, hot water wasn’t always consistent in the shower, but not enough to spoil the experience. Overall, great value — I’d happily stay here again and recommend it to anyone wanting a comfortable, friendly, peaceful base at Diani without paying resort prices.
