About this villa rental

The villa, 300 sq.m in size, boasts a lovely pool, while both the villa and guesthouse have been recently constructed and are situated less than 300 m from the white-sand beach on the Indian Ocean, Diani Beach. They are also 35 km from the wildlife preserve in the Shimba Hills. This is an exclusive, gated, private estate, which will only be rented to a single person, a couple, a group, or a family. The property is a tropical dream come true, surrounded by colourful bougainvillea. Bananas, papayas, and coconuts are just some of the trees growing in the garden with its singing birds. Everything is wonderfully equipped in an African artistic style that is paired with European luxury. Every bedroom has an en-suite bathroom. On the upper floor, there is an oversized living area (100 sq.m) with two balconies and a gallery that is open to the sky. There is a large terrace on the lower floor that enjoys a view of the garden and pool. All bedrooms have ceiling fans, mosquito nets, and a safe. ***Property with great swimming pool, Garden of Eden property, property with the terrace of your dreams***
Diving in Kenya: On Galu Beach with its fine, white sand, you can do more than just relax, you can also go snorkelling or scuba diving to explore the underwater world of the Indian Ocean. There are several lovely places where you can observe every imaginable species of corals and fishes in colours you've only imagined until now. Dive into the wonderful underwater world, it's unbelievably beautiful. Fantastic diving spots, large fishes (whale sharks seen almost daily), numerous schools of fish, intact coral reefs with beautiful coral, shipwrecks, tropical water temperatures year-round and, of course, gorgeous international diving stations. For example: At Diani Marine, there's a professional crew with first-class Mares gear. From beginner courses to diving instructor training, everything is offered. Open-sea fishing in Kenya: Off of Diani Beach, there's one of the best deep-sea fisheries in the world: Marlin (blue, striped and black), sailfish, sharks, wahoos, swordfish, barracuda, kingfish, tuna, and many more species of fish. Kenya is, without a doubt, a paradise for open-sea fishing. The fisheries on Pemba Channel or Watamu have become world-famous. Even Hemingway was inspired by Malandi to write his book 'The Old Man and the Sea'. Boat rentals are exceptionally cheap in comparison to other destinations like the Caribbean or Mauritius. Safari in Kenya, 'The Cradle of Humanity': In Kenya there are more than 50 national parks and reserves that are different both in terms of landscape and animal species. The species richness of their animals and plants has made Kenya famous around the world. Even though all the parks are different, they also have something in common: they're all unique and they all offer something special. All the different habitats are present, from the jungle and mountains to the marine protected areas of the Indian Ocean. Safaris, though, don't mean that you have to compromise on comfort! Most of the lodges and tent camps are luxury establishments where you will want for nothing. We're happy to advise you as needed. Last, but not least: Diani Beach is one of the top 5 kite-surfing spots in the world. The best season for wind is from December to March, with a somewhat lower season from June to September. Yours, Bernd Trompell

We arrived Wed. evening before Christmas. At 6pm the power went out. The lights worked but the A/C & frig did not. The staff was unconcerned & left for the night. It was very uncomfortable overnight at 80 degrees F & 90% humidity without A/C. The next morning the manager called an electrician. He was there several hours but couldn't fix the power, another night without A/C. The upstairs bathroom had no running water. The staff left buckets of water to flush the toilet. Around midnight, all power was lost -no lights or running water. We moved to a hotel early that morning. That afternoon the owner notified us the power was on & we could return. We had no confidence the power would remain. The staff had told us that the house power regularly stops working. We were concerned we would have no remedy over the holiday weekend. With water, refrigeration & electrical concerns (surging power, burning electrical smell & the frig had a grounding issue -would shock if touched) we decided not to return for the last 4 days of our reservation. We never felt a sense of concern or urgency for our situation, or that our stay was well below expectations. We were not offered any compensation for our discomfort for two days, loss of spoiled food or costs for moving/staying at the hotel. The villa is spacious & comfortable. We enjoyed the location close to the beach & the private pool. The staff were pleasant & the chef made delicious meals. But we picked this villa for 3 bedrooms with A/C.

Enjoy afternoons in the pool that is shaded by palm trees and a beautiful garden. The main house offers 3 large air conditioned bedrooms and a large place upstairs to hang out as a large group. There is even an office and massage space on the top floor. The guest house has another 3 bedrooms however the lack of air-conditioning in these rooms made them unusable for our group. Walkable to a wonderful casual beach bar with great seafood and drinks and tons of beach activities (snorkeling, boat rides, bike rentals, jet skis, fresh coconuts and so much more). Grab a Tuk Tuk and easily get to a wide variety of bars & restaurants. Our favorite was Nomads beach bar!

A lovely place
A lovely place
We (a family of 4 including 2 late teenagers) had a fantastic stay at this lovely villa. It is beautifully furnished but we seldom left the huge terrace. The staff are great and Ali is a super cook. There was only one simple beach bar within walking distance but there are several good restaurants and bars within a short taxi or tuk-tuk ride away. The local beach is delightful although the beach boys are a pain but generally they are not too persistent.

Impressive! Can't wait to stay again!
Impressive! Can't wait to stay again!
The pictures of this exquisite home are spot on! We couldn't have chosen a better place to have a women's retreat. The accommodations were wonderfully laid out with a variety of beds and bathrooms in both the main house and adjacent additional guest house. The available staff tipped it over the top for us. They were so lovely and took great care of us. Having a chef to prepare 3 meals a day was wonderful. We felt very nurtured and safe with wonderful James, the wonderful Maasai keeping watch all night. Having a pool to cool off in made the heat and humidity of Diani easy. It is so well laid out to have plenty of gathering space and private spaces alike. There is a lot of love in the architectural details of this stunning home. We are already looking at multiple dates for us to return. Asante Sana for an extraordinary experience.
