Spectacular Manola House – Beach 2 Min Walk

4.93 out of 5 average rating, 58 reviews1 month ago

Amazing experience, we loved staying in Mikhail's house! You can feel and see the care put in every detail, both in the house and in the garden. The surrounding is peaceful while still being in the heart of Diani town with access to all main shops and restaurants. The compound has also a direct private access to the beach, well secured. The swimming pools are clean and great when travelling with children, sunbeds are comfortable and practical, and in the garden there are external showers and a bar space. The terrace is very cosy and perfect to spend quality time all together. The house is beautiful, with very spacious rooms, all with en-suite bathrooms, very clean and with all the necessary space for your things. Esther, the lady managing the day-by-day stay, is very responsive and helpful in case of anything. We enjoyed our stay, we will definitely return. Totally recommended!

Fiorella Tatu-Pool & Beach Access, Diani Beach

5 out of 5 average rating, 21 reviews3 months ago

I had an amazing stay at this property! Everything was exactly as depicted in the pictures, which was such a relief. The property itself was quiet, well-maintained, had a groundsman, and was stocked with all the simple essentials needed for a comfortable stay. Its location is unbeatable—just a few minutes walk to the beach with private access, which felt like such a luxury. The community is secure with 24-hour security, providing great peace of mind, and it’s conveniently located just minutes from Ukunda Airport. Shopping centers and social activities are also close by, making it easy to explore and enjoy the area. There was a small misunderstanding about the guest policy during check-in, but it was resolved quickly and professionally. The host was incredibly pleasant and extremely communicative throughout the entire stay, ensuring everything went smoothly. He even provided a list of activities and suggested very helpful restaurants. I would stay here again!!

Doum Palm Villa Watamu

5 out of 5 average rating, 12 reviews1 week ago

We have fallen in love with Watamu, but most especially Doum Palm. We are truly so grateful to have found this beautiful house. We loved everything about it, our kids felt right at home, the walk to the beach was so easy which was great to go back and forth between the pool and sea everyday. A stunning spot, surrounded by beautiful trees, peaceful and quiet. Innocent, Maggie, Rehema & Dan are an absolute joy and made everything about our stay so easy. Innocents food was delicious, with small children, eating out isn’t always easy but we didn’t feel the need with the food that Innocent produced and always went out his way to find us the best fresh sea food! We would not hesitate to come back to Doum Palm and already planning a trip for next year! we look forward to recommending this quaint and peaceful spot to our friends and family. Thank you to the hosts for all the recommendations on places to go, taxis, Tuk Tuk etc. we made great use of it all. We can’t wait to come back!
