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.

A
Andrew
From

The Sands at Nomad is an exceptional, world-class resort located on a prime site on Diani Beach, Kenya. The resort is surrounded by tropical forest which ensures that there is no outside noise pollution. The forest is home to a variety of creatures, including at least 2 types of monkeys (Black and white Colobus and Syke's or Samango monkeys) Dik-dik, Bush babies (Grester Galago) and numerous species of birds. The accommodations are spacious and comfortable, ranging from standard Sea Breeze rooms to private villas. I had a Beach bungalow - ideal for single travelers or couples, whilst my friend had a standard Sea Breeze room. The Beach bungalow had the advantage of being right on the beach (literally about 15 m from the pure white sand) and benefitted from the sea breeze, whereas the Sea Breeze room, despite its name, did not get much benefit from the breeze due to tall trees which blocked the view of the beach, but had a great ambience. Both rooms were air conditioned, so the breeze was not essential. There are a wide range of watersports and activities on offer.

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!

Our room was right on the beach and the white sand was incredible. The sea was very clean and warm. We had plenty of seating both inside and outside of the room and sunbeds under a shade, under a palm tree on the beach. I celebrated my 75th birthday here and a cake arrived along with singing from the kitchen staff!!! It was lovely. The staff could not be more helpful and friendly. The food was of good quality and always plenty of it.

The people were very friendly and the rooms were comfortable, clean and there was enough space! the resort had two pools and had a great location next to the beach (the beach was accessible via the resort). The food and drinks were very good and the resort plans a lot of fun activities throughout the week. Also, you can plan trips through the reception. There is also security at the beach, so you’ll feel very safe. 10/10 recommend.

The spirit at Kaya Kwetu is one of love and tranquility and, together with the constant sounds of the waves and the birds, feels a bit paradise-ish. Lindsay and her team are very attentive and helpful from first contact, special food requirements, transport options and late checkout. The creativity and vibe of the unique rooms has one transported into another world and it's all relaxation and connecting with nature. From the "jungle pool" to the beach walks and healthy meal options, a stay at Kaya feels like rejuvenation therapy :-)

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.

Powdery white sand that is very easy to walk on.

Powdery white sand that is very easy to walk on. The reef about 500-600m offshore breaks the outer waves so inside the reef is moderately calm. Water shoes recommended due to sea urchins in some areas. A nice beach for walking, but you will be approached by vendors. A polite 'no' is usually sufficient. Several excellent places to eat along the stretch of beach where we stayed - Nomad's, Faulty's at the Flamboyant, Ali Barbour's Cave (reservation required), and Asha Boutique (Friday night beach buffet).
