Explore the Kenyan Coast

Powder-white sand and a turquoise playground for the sea

Diani is the Kenyan coast at its most relaxed, with kilometres of white sand, warm turquoise water, and a laid-back rhythm built around the beach itself.

Centuries of coastal history along a working port city

Mombasa is Kenya's second city and its historic coastal heart, where Swahili, Arab, Portuguese and British influences layer into one dense old town.

Rainforest reserves and waterfalls just inland from the beach

Kwale County stretches from the Diani coastline inland to the forested hills that give the region its wilder, greener side.

Coral gardens, ancient ruins and a laid-back marine-park town

Watamu pairs one of the coast's richest marine parks with the atmospheric ruins of Gede next door, all wrapped in a quieter, slower-paced town than Diani or Mombasa.

Portuguese landmarks, an old town and a dramatic inland gorge

Malindi's history reaches back to its days as a 15th-century trading port, visible today in landmarks like the Vasco da Gama Pillar and the Portuguese Chapel.
