Waterlovers Hotel

WaterLovers is a quaint beach resort, a mere 35 km South of Mombasa on a 10km stretch of white sand: Diani Beach. The beach is bordered by lush green rain-forest 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.

The hotel accommodates eight very spacious suites, a self-contained villa, a swimming pool, a restaurant, a beach bar, a shop with African art,a reception, and a beach house with a kite centre. Each suite is outfitted with a private ocean view veranda. The Arab word “Swahili” means “of the shore” and is the traditional language of East Africa. But Swahili is more than a language. It is also the true culture of Africa’s Indian Ocean coastline, a trader’s culture that blends cultural elements of Africa and Arabia with the East and the West – the result is a truly breathtaking cultural fusion, which can be felt in every nook and cranny of WaterLovers’ interior design.

Activities here include kite surfing, windsurfing, diving, golf, big game fishing, tennis, big game safaris or snorkelling by the coral reef. The coral reef is home to sea turtles, dolphins, and numerous tropical fish.
