What are the best beach destinations in Kenya?
Diani Beach
South of Mombasa, Diani Beach is 17 kilometers of white sand and turquoise water. The beach is protected by a coral reef which creates perfect conditions for swimming, water sports, snorkeling and diving. There are a number of stunning luxury beachfront hotels and resorts - ranging from larger hotels to small, intimate villas.

North of Mombasa, Watamu is a smaller and quieter alternative to Diani. With clear waters and corals, it’s great for snorkeling, diving, watersports, or boat trips to see dolphins. There is a marine park 1km off the coast which an abundance of fish and other marine life. There is a great selection of luxury beachfront hotels and villas.
