Set on beautiful Diani Beach along Kenya’s southern coast, charming WaterLovers Beach Resort offers golden-sand beaches framed by a rainforest of colourful birds and the postcard-perfect turquoise waters of the Indian Ocean. The unspoilt coral reef just 500 metres offshore is home to a vast array of marine life that awaits your discovery on snorkelling and diving excursions.

A sanctuary for both water-based recreation and sand-between-your-toes relaxation, WaterLovers offers kite surfing, windsurfing and big-game fishing, not to mention mountain biking and golf nearby. Located just a short drive from Diani, the Shimba Hills National Reserve is a sanctuary for elephants and Kenya’s only population of sable antelope.

Your welcoming hosts are at your beck and call to ensure your stay is tailor-made to your preferences, while the staff feel much like an extension of the family. The rustic architectural design of WaterLovers uses locally sourced materials to create a laid-back atmosphere that exudes the kind of island-style feeling to make you take your shoes off right away and trade your watch in for the movement of the tides.

Facilities

If the warm Indian Ocean cannot tempt you, the sparkling pool invites afternoon swimming and you can while away hours reading and sunbathing as you lie comfortably on a lounger alongside the water.

Ocean Spirit – WaterLovers’ beach bar – serves tall cocktails and offers magnificent sea views and Swahili music. Aside from the activities offered at the resort itself, enjoy a round at the 18-hole golf course and yoga classes in a studio nearby.

The management team is also always happy to assist in organising airport transfers and excursions to any attractions you might like to visit in the area. Wi-Fi Internet access is available throughout the resort.

Dining

Set alongside the swimming pool overlooking the ocean, Tides is the resort’s elegant restaurant which offers a Mediterranean-meets-Italian culinary experience. Roasted pumpkin ravioli in fish ragout as well as crab fagottini with avocado and lime sauce are just some of the tempting dishes you can look forward to.
