Why Stay at Diamonds Leisure Beach & Golf Resort?
Diamonds Leisure Beach & Golf Resort is the only major Diani property to pair a full beachfront resort with championship golf, making it a natural pick for travellers who want fairways and flippers in the same holiday. The four-star package spans multiple restaurants, a spa and direct access to Diani's celebrated white sand.
Where Is Diamonds Leisure Beach & Golf Resort & What Wildlife Can You See?
The resort sits on Diani Beach on Kenya's south coast, approximately ten minutes from Ukunda Airstrip, which receives daily scheduled flights from Nairobi's Wilson Airport. The reef offshore invites snorkelling and scuba diving, colobus monkeys inhabit the coastal forest canopy, and dolphin-spotting dhow trips run from nearby Wasini. Day trips into the Tsavo ecosystem add a safari dimension.
Rooms & Style
The 239 rooms range from Bustani junior suites to the four- and six-bedroom Oasis Villas with shared terraces and private or semi-private pool areas, ideal for families and groups. Interiors are breezy and contemporary-coastal, with the golf course and gardens lending the grounds an unusually spacious feel. Board options run from bed and breakfast through to all-inclusive, and the spa provides a quieter counterpoint to the resort's sporting energy.
Who Is It Ideal For?
- Golfers wanting a beachfront base with a course on the doorstep
- Multi-generational families suited to the large villas
- Divers and snorkellers exploring the south coast reefs
- Mid-range travellers seeking full resort facilities at fair value

When Is the Best Time to Visit Diamonds Leisure Beach and Golf Resort?
Diani works in every season, but the character of your holiday shifts through the year. January to March is hot and reliably sunny — prime time for water sports and full beach days. June to October brings cooler air and low humidity, which golfers tend to prefer for the course, and excursion days feel easier on families. November and December stay warm with occasional showers, suiting festive-season escapes, while April and May turn the gardens lush, thin out the crowds and bring the year's most attractive accommodation offers.
Arrival logistics are simpler than at most Kenyan coast resorts. Ukunda Airstrip sits roughly ten minutes away with daily scheduled flights from Nairobi's Wilson Airport, while Moi International Airport in Mombasa is about 42 km distant — allow extra time for the Likoni Ferry crossing if you come by road from the north.
- Book January-to-March and festive dates well ahead; they are the coast's busiest windows.
- Groups should ask about the four- and six-bedroom Oasis Villas early, as inventory is limited.
- Compare board bases before travel — bed and breakfast through all-inclusive are all available.
- Travelling in the green season, pack a light rain layer for brief afternoon showers.
Golfers should reserve tee times alongside the room during peak months.
