At Beyond Kenya Safaris, we specialize in crafting these seamless safari-and-beach itineraries, ensuring you experience the very best of Kenya. Let us introduce you to a destination where the tranquility of the Indian Ocean meets the pinnacle of luxury.
Discover Paradise on Diani Beach
Almanara is an exclusive, family-owned retreat nestled on a quiet, pristine stretch of Diani Beach, often hailed as one of Africa’s most beautiful coastlines. Located south of Mombasa, this private estate is a sanctuary of Swahili-inspired architecture, Italian marble, and handcrafted African décor, offering a level of privacy and personal service that is simply unmatched.
Almanara offers two distinct but equally luxurious accommodation options, each designed to cater to different travel styles.
The Boutique Hotel: “Casa Bella”
For couples or small groups, Casa Bella is a stunning five-bedroom boutique hotel built directly above the beach.
- Accommodation: Features 3 Ocean View Rooms and 2 Ocean View Suites, all finished with Italian marble and mosaic detailing.
- Amenities: Guests have access to a grand infinity pool and Jacuzzi with breathtaking ocean views, a modern gym, and a games room.
- The Experience: Wake up to the sight of the turquoise ocean from your private veranda and enjoy the intimate atmosphere of a luxury hotel.
The Private Villas: Exclusive Independence
For families or groups of friends seeking the ultimate in privacy and space, the six Garden Villas offer an unrivaled experience.
- Accommodation: Each villa is a spacious, three-bedroom home featuring open-plan living and dining areas, a private veranda, and a fully furnished rooftop terrace.
- Your Personal Staff: The true luxury of the villas lies in the dedicated team that comes with them. You will have your own private chef, butler, and maid to cater to your every whim, preparing bespoke meals and ensuring your stay is perfectly tailored to your desires.
- Amenities: While each villa offers a private retreat, guests also have access to the shared central pool with a sunken bar.
A Culinary Journey
Dining at Almanara is an experience in itself. The focal point is Sails Beach Bar and Restaurant, an architectural masterpiece of canvas and steel offering uninterrupted ocean views. Executive Chef Anthony Huth and his team curate a weekly-changing menu that highlights the freshest seafood, delivered daily by local fishermen, and locally sourced organic produce.
Guests staying in the villas can also choose to have their private chef prepare a custom menu, often served in the privacy of their villa, on the veranda, or even on the beach.

The beauty of Almanara is its ability to offer both adventure and complete relaxation.
