Alfajiri Garden Villa

Hidden among palm trees and a large garden that opens directly onto Diani Beach, Garden Villa offers families, small groups and couples a luxurious coastal stay in Kenya. Just a five-minute drive from Ukunda Airstrip, this exclusive-use villa promises the privacy of a private home with the amenities of a top-tier resort. Privacy is guaranteed – even if you're a couple, you'll have the villa to yourselves – and the setting feels both secluded and secure, with sweeping views of the Indian Ocean from nearly every angle.

Almost everything at Garden Villa comes complimentary, including meals and drinks, wellness treatments, a private driver and a child-minder. Each day can be as relaxed or active as you like. There's snorkelling and watersports just off the beach, an expansive garden, cultural visits to local villages and curated in-villa experiences like private dining or a day safari in Shimba Hills National Reserve. If you're travelling with children, you'll appreciate the kid-friendly menu, lawn for play and staff on hand to help at every turn.

The villa is spacious and thoughtfully styled with natural materials, high ceilings and handpicked local décor. The en-suite bedrooms are fitted with mosquito nets as well as air-conditioning and there's Wi-Fi throughout. Outside, a private infinity pool looks out over the sea, with plenty of shaded spots for lounging or al fresco dining. A private driver, butler and housekeeping team are always available. Your stay also includes access to the nearby Uzuri Spa. Extend your journey with a safari in the Maasai Mara or a cultural experience in Lamu for the ultimate East African holiday.
