Waterlovers Beach Resort - Intimate luxury beachfront resort on Diani Beach with an elephant-shaped infinity pool

Suites & Villas

Waterlovers Diani offers ten accommodations blending Swahili design with Mediterranean touches, each with a private verandah overlooking the Indian Ocean. The private villa includes a fully equipped kitchen for longer stays, while all suites feature four-poster beds and local artworks. Guests also have access to an on-site art boutique selling handicrafts from the region.

Dining & Bars

Tides Restaurant serves Mediterranean cuisine using local ingredients, with tables set directly on the sand for evening meals. The Ocean Spirit beach bar offers cocktails and drinks with views of the reef-protected waters. Afternoon tea and evening bites are provided daily for half-board guests.

Wellness & Spa

Kola Spa provides full-body massages, facials, body scrubs, and wraps, along with manicures, pedicures, and waxing services. Yoga classes are available on-site, and the spa also offers foot baths and specialized head and neck massages. The outdoor infinity pool is shaped like an elephant and includes a shallow end and pool toys for children.

Activities & Experiences

The hotel provides free snorkeling gear and kayaks for exploring the calm, double-reef protected waters directly in front of the resort. Guests can arrange diving, kite surfing, and windsurfing through the concierge, or join guided bike tours and walking tours of local culture. The property is 30 minutes by car from Shimba Hills National Reserve and walking distance to Colobus Conservation.

Family & Sustainability

Waterlovers Beach Resort Diani includes a children's playground, board games, babysitting services, and a kids' menu at the restaurant. The resort operates under an ethos of environmental responsibility, using glass water bottles and supporting local artisans through its boutique. The 24-hour front desk and concierge help families arrange airport shuttles and express check-in or checkout.
