The Baobab Beach Resort & Spa has everything you might look for on your Kenyan beach vacation on the Indian Ocean but with minimal personalization due to its size (700+ guests can be accommodated) and its mass guest demographics as arrivals are mostly from European charter flights.

Accessible with from the island of Mombasa via the south coast Likoni Ferry, this huge 323 room estate, laid out in 80 acres of lush coastal gardens teeming with stately trees, pretty flowers, colorful butterflies and birds singing, is like a sanctuary of harmony on the Diani Beach in Kenya. Cheeky monkeys and notorious baboons abound in the trees and are quick to take off with an unattended edible treat or even attempt a face to face challenge. Never feed them as they are daring and will come back for more.



The widespread accommodation consists of three wings – The Baobab, he Baobab, Kole Kole and The Maridadi. The latter two wings are detailed separately as they all operate independently; though guests can use facilities of either of the wings and can eat in any of the all-inclusive restaurants in all three wings.
