Kenya
A long white-sand beach on the south coast, with the reef close in and Shimba Hills behind. Diani is the easy one: beach days, time on the water, good tables — and safari within reach when you want it.
What Brava recommends and can arrange for you in Diani Beach. Tell us what you would like and we will come back with availability and a price.
A short list chosen for your group, not a catalogue.
Private villas on or near the beach, staffed where available. Tell us the group size and how you like to live; we shortlist a few rather than send a catalogue.
Smaller properties with character, for couples and travelers who prefer a hotel's ease to a house.
Full-service beach resorts, including family-friendly options with space and activities for children.
Houses and clusters of rooms that keep a party of eight, twelve or more together — with rooming coordinated by Brava when it is part of your proposal.
Tables worth the evening, and chefs who come to you.
A chef at your villa for a dinner or for the stay, cooking to your group's tastes and dietary needs. Groceries can be arranged ahead of arrival.
Tables by the water, reserved for you — from a relaxed lunch to dinner with your feet in the sand.
Coastal cooking worth going out for: grilled seafood, coconut curries, biryani and pilau, chosen by people who eat there.
A private table for two, set up for the occasion.
One reservation for the whole party, with menus and dietary requirements agreed in advance.
The more considered tables on the south coast, reserved through Brava.
Met at the airport and driven where you need to be.
A driver waiting at Ukunda (Diani) airstrip for your arrival, with the flight details you give us.
Transfer from Moi International Airport to Diani, timed to your flight. The route includes the Likoni crossing or the bypass, so we plan the time honestly.
A professional driver and vehicle at your disposal for a day of plans.
One vehicle for the group and its luggage, for transfers or days out.
A premium SUV with a professional driver, for up to four passengers.
Road transfer from the coast to Tsavo or Shimba Hills, or coordination of a domestic flight for parks further inland.
The days you came for, arranged around how you like to travel.
A day in the marine park off the south coast: snorkelling over the reef, with dolphins often seen on the way out.
Usually paired with Kisite: a seafood lunch on the island and time in the village and coral gardens.
A morning on the water in search of dolphins. Sightings are common but never promised.
A traditional dhow for your group alone — a sunset sail or a longer day on the water.
Reef snorkelling for everyone, and diving for certified divers or those who want to learn.
Lessons for beginners and equipment for those who already ride, in season.
Tandem jumps over the beach for those who want it, weather permitting.
A slow trip by boat or paddleboard where the river meets the sea, best at sunset.
A half or full day in the forested hills behind the coast: Sheldrick Falls, elephants and the rare sable antelope.
Shade, seating and service arranged on the sand for your group's day.
Drinks and something to eat at the right spot, at the right hour.
One Brava contact for requests, changes and occasions.
A named Brava contact in Diani for the days agreed in your proposal, coordinating your arrangements on the ground.
Birthdays, anniversaries and group occasions: the setting, the table, the cake, the surprise — planned to the brief you give us.
Tell us what you need. We check what is possible with our partners and come back with an answer and a price before anything is booked.
Plans move. Message your Brava contact and we rework the reservation or the pickup with the supplier, subject to availability.
Everything here is arranged through Brava and confirmed in a proposal before anything is booked. Availability depends on dates and on our partners in the destination.
