Mango Opinion

Waterlovers Beach Resort on the Kenya Coast at Diani Beach is a small boutique resort that has upmarket style and gorgeous white sands. It is owner operated which only adds to the charm.

WaterLovers is a quaint beach resort on the tropical shores of the Indian Ocean. Set on Diani Beach, on Kenya's South Coast, which is known for its white sands, groves of coconut palms and turquoise warm waters - it is a perfect setting for a holiday in paradise. The hotel accommodation is six very spacious cottages, a fantastic villa and a swimming pool. Each cottage is outfitted with a private ocean view veranda. They are constructed using natural materials and have bursts of bright colors to reflect the vivid colors found in this coastal paradise.

The centerpiece of our beach restaurant is the turtle-shaped infinity pool, where we are happy to serve our guests a bespoke cuisine combining Mediterranean recipes with local ingredients, while they can enjoy the quiet surf of the Indian Ocean just a shell throw away.

The beach is bordered by lush green rainforest full of colorful birds and the rare breed of Colobus, an almost extinct black and white monkey, unique to this area of East Africa. The sprawling dimensions of the Shimba Hills natural reserve, a sanctuary for elephants, buffalos, antelopes and other wildlife, is located a little further inland and just a short drive from Diani. The coral reef is home to sea turtles, dolphins, and numerous tropical fish. Activities include kitesurfing, windsurfing, diving, fishing, golf and safaris.
