WaterLovers Beach Resort

WaterLovers lies on a 1 and ¼ acre beachfront plot in the centre of Dian Beach (46 meters beachfront!). The hotel was designed and built in 2007 by an Italian couple who fell in love with Africa and Diani Beach, and the hotel was opened in August 2008.  The style they realize can be defined Afro-Med, being a combination of wonderful local material giving an ethnic touch with a Mediterranean influence.

WaterLovers Beach Resort is located in the center of Diani Beach, on Kenya’s south coast, which is known for its white sands and turquoise warm waters. The hotel overlooks a blue water lagoon, which reaches out 500 metres to the coral reef. 

Diani Beach is only 35 km from Mombasa where there is Moi International Airport connecting Kenya with major capitals of the world. Since Mombasa is an island, to reach Diani beach from Mombasa a ferry must be taken. A 24/7 ferry service is provided by the Kenyan Government.

Diani’s long white sandy beach stretches along a breathtaking 25 kilometres, that are framed by crystal waters and coconut palm groves. The coral reef is home to sea turtles, dolphins, and numerous tropical fish. The beach is bordered by lush green rainforest full of colourful birds and the rare breed of Colobus, an almost extinct black and white monkey, unique to this area of East Africa. The sprawling dimensions of the Shimba Hills natural reserve, a sanctuary for elephants, buffalos, antelopes and other wildlife, is located a little further inland and just a short drive from Diani (approx 35 minutes away). 

In Diani there are no problems of tsunami, cyclones, hurricanes or earthquakes. Also, business-wise, the working season is basically all year around; usually there is a low raining season during May and June, when most of the hotel close for maintenance. In the last years WaterLovers has closed from 2 to 4 weeks maximum per year, due to the many booking requests. 
Services such as banks, supermarkets, shops and European standard hospitals are ready at hand.
