Amazing location, directly at the beach with great views of the Indian Ocean and a small, though beautiful and well-maintained garden where you can hear the birds. Rooms are spacious and clean. You can choose breakfast from a menu and it is cooked fresh. On Friday evenings there's a barbecue, with lots of choices. Highly recommended. An ideal place to relax. Staff is very welcoming.

Nomad Beach Resort

Hotel in Diani Beach

Nestled along the pristine shores of Diani Beach, Nomad Beach Resort offers the perfect blend of luxury, relaxation, and adventure on Kenya’s stunning Southern Coast.

The Sands at Nomad is an exceptional, world-class resort located on a prime site on Diani Beach, Kenya. The resort is surrounded by tropical forest which ensures that there is no outside noise pollution. The forest is home to a variety of creatures, including at least 2 types of monkeys (Black and white Colobus and Syke's or Samango monkeys) Dik-dik, Bush babies (Grester Galago) and numerous species of birds. The accommodations are spacious and comfortable, ranging from standard Sea Breeze rooms to private villas. I had a Beach bungalow - ideal for single travelers or couples, whilst my friend had a standard Sea Breeze room. The Beach bungalow had the advantage of being right on the beach (literally about 15 m from the pure white sand) and benefitted from the sea breeze, whereas the Sea Breeze room, despite its name, did not get much benefit from the breeze due to tall trees which blocked the view of the beach, but had a great ambience. Both rooms were air conditioned, so the breeze was not essential. There are a wide range of watersports and activities on offer.

Fiona the host is a very nice, friendly and welcoming lady. She picked us up from the airport and dropped us off on our way back. The staff was very nice as well and they have a chef who's very good at what he does. We enjoyed his food so much. The place is very nice , clean , in a quiet environment and has a small private pool if you just want to chill at home, or the beach which is only a few meters walk. There is different restaurants around and the shopping center is not very far away.. 100% recommend this place.

Amazing villas by Hugh the owner. Chef Hussein prepared all three meals and helped out to get great quality ingredients from local stores. Dishes tried were wide ranging (beef stew, grilled steak, fish curry, seafood pasta, all kinds of breakfast food & fresh juices). Milkah the housekeeper also kept the house super clean, not only making up the bedrooms but also kind enough to allow us to do our own laundry. Additionally, Hugh have amazing local tips and contacts from drivers to local spots to check out. If I come back to Diani beach, I’m sure to stay here again.

    Fantastic small hotel on a wonderful location. Best beach of Diani with pure white sand and super clean. Wonderful restaurant that gives a feeling that you are dining on the beach. The food served took sometimes a while but was always delicious. The room was very spacious and very clean. Staff was always correct and at your service. On top of this all there a super professional Kite surf and surf school run by a top team.

    Everything was absolutely PERFECT. Ceri and her team did a great job to make us feel like home. It's not often you find people so committed to bring hospitality to the next level. To top it all up, our room was right ON the beach and we couldn't have dreamed of a more perfect location. This was the most amazing finale of our Kenyan holidays and this resort deserves more than a perfect 10.
