Diani Beach
|
|
The villa is in a private and secure location on Galu beach, away from crowded Diani beach and the hotels. It is surrounded by gardens and set on the front part of a 2.5 acre plot the back part is tropical forest. The beach is very wide with stunning white, soft sand and turquoise island waters. Perfect for relaxing on the sunbeds, kite surfing, windsurfing, fishing, diving and snorkelling. Diani is also a convenient distance to wildlife parks such as Tsavo (2nd largest in the world) and Amboseli. There is a light aircraft runway nearby with direct flights to the must-see Masai Mara. It is replete with bird life, rare breeds of monkeys, Bush babies and vibrant tropical forest. 5 mins from the shops and banks etc and 40 mins drive to Mombasa. The beach experience here is more exclusive than the likes of crowded, rocky Mombasa beaches and is secluded from the all-inclusive hotels of Diani. It is run by a family who have been here 40 years and are extremely well informed in this area.
