 Baobab Beach Resort and Spa 

Beach fun for all of the family

One of the best all-inclusive resorts on the coast, with excellent facilities and great service.

The resort’s location – on a coral headland overlooking vast stretches of world-famous Diani Beach – is idyllic. Stretching along 700 metres of beachfront, the resort is surrounded by indigenous coastal forest.

If you’re looking to be active on holiday there is plenty to keep you entertained, from three swimming pools to archery and volleyball. For more sedate travellers, there's also the beautiful Afya Bora Spa and Wellness Centre, ideal for some rest and relaxation. The Kole Kole Wing largely operates as a separate hotel, with its own reception area, dining room, lounges, bar and pool. Some facilities are shared with the main hotel, including the gym, wellness centre, amphitheatre and watersports.
