Wow, wow, wow…. “What an absolutely fantastic place to truly relax. It starts with the warm welcome from the owner, Mr. Jas. He explained everything wonderfully, and when we asked about breakfast-time he simply replied: whenever you like. You are on vacation here, not in a camp. The food is absolutely fantastic, and I can highly recommend it. Overall, it’s a great little boutique hotel. We will definitely come back.”

Nomad Beach Resort

Hotel in Diani Beach

Nestled along the pristine shores of Diani Beach, Nomad Beach Resort offers the perfect blend of luxury, relaxation, and adventure on Kenya’s stunning Southern Coast.

The Nomad is a really lovely place. The food was very good, the staff at reception very friendly and professional. The whole set up with the swimming pool surrounded by greenery is lovely. Also nice to watch the different monkeys climbing in the trees. The beach is truly stunning, and while before booking I had feared the beach would be too busy, this was not the case. Of course when you go for a walk you are approached by beach sellers, but they accept a no. We had a standalone bungalow, with our own reclining chairs and lots of space around, very pleasant (that probably explains the high price, but for us that privacy and peacefulness was what we had been looking for), beach sellers walk past, but they leave you in peace when you say no. We also appreciated their environmental efforts.

Babylon gardens is one reason to tell to people that are reviewing accommodation to be aware of the best, the good and the bad. Markus has everything calculated here. There is nothing which makes this place take less than 10. Perfectly organised, clean, perfect food, fabulous environment and most of all that Markus is there to solve anything you need. Feel blessed to stay here, I wish every place and every owner give this attention to guests.

Very friendly and hospitable staff, clean rooms and facilities, amazing views of the ocean, serene and private. Antonia (host) was always on hand to assist in case of any issues and easily reachable and went out of her way to make sure we had a pleasant stay. Small extra touches such as daily change of flowers in the rooms, new fruits placed in the fridge every day was so thoughtful and much appreciated. The food was always freshly made and the candlelit night dinner by the pool was so romantic and enjoyable.

    The resort is huge, luxurious and offers a great variety of pools, restaurants and activities. The renovated rooms are very nice. The staff were fantastic, always cheery, welcoming, and the Jambo activities team were great fun with the water polo, volleyball and shuffle board games. Bar staff, cleaners, waiting teams will all make it feel like home as they greet you throughout the day. Small requests of ours were always met with help whether it be with food or hair conditioner. As vegans, we had a good choice of foods for each meal. The chefs even did vegan crepes each breakfast when we asked. Soya milk was also readily available, which was nice, and there were even milk and egg free cakes in the afternoons. The resort has a good variety of water sports at very reasonable prices. The spa and massage area is brilliant, so relaxing and well priced for all the treatments. We really enjoyed ours.

The room was cleaned daily and the towels changed regularly. The meals served in the restaurant was varied and delicious, everybody can find something to eat according to their tast. The pool area is kept very clean. There are sufficient sunbeds and additional towels for all the guests.

    We stayed for three days at Leopard Beach Resort and had an absolutely amazing time. The highlight was the free upgrade to a beautiful cliffside cottage with a breathtaking view of the sea—it truly made our stay extra special. The staff was incredibly polite, warm, and helpful, making us feel welcome at every step. The property is stunning, and we thoroughly enjoyed every moment of our stay here. Highly recommended for a peaceful and scenic getaway!

The electricity bill for 6 nights was very low, reasonable and below 10 dollars. Very kind staff. Clean pool. We rented a kayak nearby and went snorkeling by ourselves with low tide, which was amazing. Thank you!!

    Its a nice place with a beautiful beach with clear blue water. Water in the apartments are however salty, I assume its because of the beach surrounding the area. Food and activities are expensive around this area.

    Perfect.

    Perfect. I wrote a previous outstanding review but Booking.com only posted my two comments from “suggested improvements”, which were inconsequential but gave a negative impression. The property was lovely, steps from an amazing white sandy beach fringed with coconut palms. I loved lolling on the comfy cushions on the roof terrace in the evenings. Cecilia who looked after us was amazing and a great cook. Her fish curries were to die for. The bed was comfy and the mosquito nets a great asset. The community pool was well maintained with a fabulous on site masseuse, Habiba. Amazing relaxing vacation would highly recommend.

    Diani is a must see while visiting Kenya.

    Diani is a must see while visiting Kenya. Just make sure you pick your dates well. We visited Diani in April which was the start of the raining season but it was hot. The dry season runs from August to December and I can only imagine how hot it can get. Many resorts don't have A/C but portable fans in rooms. It helps but the rooms are still hot. Bring insect repellent sprays as insects and mosquitoes are around. Plenty of activities to do. Wasani day trip is a must do, camel/horse rides along the beach, sunset in Congo river, glassboat rides, jet ski, kite surfing etc. Be ready to negotiate anything you buy as the locals have the tendency to overcharge foreigners. Also there is a small splash place for kids. It is not as big and elaborate as the big theme parks but it helps keep the kids busy and distracted.

    Ukunda itself is full of different kind of problems, but if we specifically talk about Diani, situation is different. Seaview access hotels are in general above average except, Flamboyant, Safari Beach and Seabreeze of which have many issues. Pricing 80$ to 500$ US. Then in Galu beach lies horrible trap places like this ghastly Coconut Village with incompetent teenagers left as managers. The second strip hotels are passable with pricing 35$ to 120$, but usually lack service ability and professional staff. The beach is very beautiful, but people around hotels hustling bring the experience down even bad.
