Diani

Diani

Diani is Kenya’s best-known beach destination. Its 15-kilometre stretch of white sand is lined with cafés, restaurants and bars, yet the town has still managed to keep its relaxed, barefoot atmosphere. Getting around is easy, with tuk-tuks readily available throughout the area.

On weekends, Diani attracts a lively mix of Nairobi residents, expats, travellers, digital nomads and watersports enthusiasts. Nearby Galu Beach is particularly popular for kitesurfing, thanks to its steady afternoon winds, warm waters and reliable sunshine.
