Location: The Kenyan Coast
Set amidst the tropical gardens and leaning palms of Diani’s Galu Beach lies a collection of six private villas.
Each of the three bedroom villas is decorated with locally crafted furniture and artwork, and contains an open-plan dining and living area and private rooftop terrace. With no set menu or schedule, guests have the freedom to dine as they please, creating a truly bespoke experience.
The six villas are situated around a communal central swimming pool area where guests can also enjoy the Jacuzzi and pool bar.
Alternatively, head down to the beach and enjoy the 100 yard wide white sands of Diani Beach. You can enjoy boat trips out to the near by reef for a spot of snorkeling or to one of the nearby sand banks just to simply relax during low tide. There is a nearby water sports centre where they can arrange kite and windsurfing, diving, deep sea fishing and also golf and tennis.
