Amazing stay
I write this in the middle of our stay. We have had a mediocre experience with hospitality in Kenya, but water lovers is AMAZING. The small boutique is just stunning. The staff are very kind and helpful. And it probably has the best location; right on the beach but also walking distance from shops and restaurants. The beach boys are not as annoying as you may have read. Rooms are fantastic. Best stay in Africa thus far and the only hotel you should consider in Diani
A great place to stay
A beautiful property boutique style Rooms are individual villas beautifully appointed in African style. Large space and extremely comfortable. If you are downstairs you have outside space or the first floor a balcony. The staff are amazing they truly are. The area around the pool has sand and is comfortable with water sports equipment anvailable and a nice vibe. Bar is cool and great choice. I didn’t love all the men walking on the beach trying to sell you stuff but they were harmless. Food was good and the added touch of afternoon tea and snacks at the bar in evening was a nice touch. The massages were fantastic at the spa! There are monkeys at the property and amazing watching them swing in the trees. 6 nights was perfect
Paradise
Wow – what a beautiful place – this really is paradise. We spent 5 nights here in July 2026 for our 10-year wedding anniversary and had the most amazing time. The resort is stunning, with white sand everywhere. The pool is great and our daughter spent hours playing on the inflatables provided. They made a great effort for our anniversary, and we had the most amazing meal on the private beach area watching the moon rise. The sea views are beautiful and direct access to the white sand beach is great. OK people will try and sell you stuff – but worth engaging with the guy selling wooden gifts – he showed us the workshop right next to the resort and there is some lovely hand made products. I took a glass bottomed boat out to the sandbank and there was superb snorkelling. The restaurant at the resort does amazing food and made efforts to cater for our gluten free daughter. The staff were super helpful and the place was spotless – although look out for the naughty monkeys who will steal any food you leave lying around in an instant! We were super sad to leave and want to return to this piece of paradise again!
Amazing
The most beautiful, relaxing resort I have ever stayed in. The staff were all amazing and maintained a relaxed yet attentive vibe. The food was delicious- especially the bbq on the beach- which was amazing and the Columbus monkeys were fab to watch. Thank you everyone at Waterlovers.

Relaxing by the ocean
I now understand why people sometimes want a holiday where they don't have to go anywhere or do anything .... Waterlovers provided just that! When you walk in, you are greeted with white sand, palm trees and the blue ocean and your shoulders drop! It is exactly as the picture shows. The room was comfortable, very clean, good mosquito nets and a good shower. You stepped out on to sand and were shaded by a 500 year old baobab tree! Bar & restaurant on site provided good food/drink options but you could also go into Diani Beach for other options. Good pool for swimming but also safe swimming in the ocean. Team friendly & helpful too.
