A quaint beach resort on the tropical shores of the Indian Ocean, a mere 35 km south of Mombasa, Waterlovers is located in Diani Beach, on Kenya’s south coast. Known for its 25 km of white sand beach and turquoise warm waters, it is a perfect setting for a holiday in paradise. The location is unique as you enjoy soft sand and calm waters, which reach out 500 metres to the coral reef.
The resort accommodates eight very spacious Suites, a Penthouse Apartment and a self-contained Villa, all oceanfront and luxury equipped. Waterlovers offers a sea view restaurant, a beach bar, a wonderful turtle-shaped infinity pool, a spa, and an art boutique. Enjoy the laid-back luxury with the unique combination of comfort, service, and cuisine.
Waterlovers is a blend of Swahili culture and Mediterranean style.
The Arab word ‘Swahili’, meaning ‘of the shore’, is the traditional language of East Africa. But Swahili is more than a language, it is the traditional culture of the African Indian Ocean coastline — a trader’s culture that blends elements of Africa and Arabia with the East and the West.
The result is a breathtaking cultural fusion, which can be felt in every detail of Waterlovers’ design.
Types of accommodations
SUITES
All eight Suites have a spacious private veranda overlooking the ocean and an interior design combining Swahili culture and Mediterranean style. All are equipped with air conditioning, fan, mosquito net, security box, blue-tooth speaker, complimentary wi-fi, and a mobile phone with Kenyan SIM card to use during your stay. Double and triple suites are available.
VILLA
For those who wish to get a taste of Kenya while enjoying the privacy and comfort of a home, we offer our private villa with a fully equipped kitchen.
The villa offers two spacious double bedrooms on the ground floor, both with air conditioning, fans, mosquito nets, an adjoining door, and private bathrooms. On the upper floor, in the open gallery, you will find another two king size beds and a third bathroom complete with shower.
All beds on this upper floor have mosquito nets but no AC, as the design is open to the natural elements surrounding the villa. There is a lovely porch area with sofas, pillows, and a beautifully carved, wooden dining table with enough room for everyone.
Daily housekeeping is included, and for the ultimate luxury, we can cater your meals directly at the villa, or you can choose to join us in our beach restaurant.
