Diani beach
There’s an old saying you used to get on T-shirts – Life’s a beach. Well, if you’ve got one hidden away, dig it out if you’re planning a trip to Baobab Beach. Here’s a place on prime Diani Beach real estate, with the powdery sands and turquoise waters just seconds away. On top of that, you’ve got a huge three-tiered pool and a list of things to do that’d last a year. There’s everything from endless watersports to live entertainment and quiz nights. And if you really want to hit the pause button, you’ve got a spa with a huge list of treatments for that A-list glow.
