Kenya is home to some of the most beautiful beaches and with the world on pause, now is the best time to dream up the trip of a lifetime and get inspired by your next destination. We present to you crashing waves, jaw-dropping landscapes and palm-lined stretches of white-sand beaches, all spread across Kenya.
This shore is found on Chale Island – A 10,000 square meter private beach located ten kilometres south of Diani, Kwale County. A destination for solitude seekers looking for some serious R&R. With not another human being in sight, guests can enjoy and relax in an over-water villa with endless turquoise views of the Indian ocean.
Stretching along Kenya’s Indian Ocean coastline, Diani is filled with a brilliant white sandy beach, clear blue waters, lush greenery and many outdoor sporting activities. Diani is deservedly popular for its laid back culture, active night life and incredible resorts. A perfect place to relax and enjoy the ultimate surf. We enjoyed this magical coastline while staying at the Sands at Nomad.
This charming piece of coastline is located 105 kilometres north of Mombasa and 15 kilometres south of Malindi on the Indian Ocean. Watamu has its own national park, a magnificent dining scene, Gede ruins, forest reserve, the waterways of Mida creek and a wide range of tourist amenities. We enjoyed this magical coastline while staying at Hemingways. Here’s a full guide on what to do while in Watamu.
4. Lamu Archipeago
A stunning rugged coastline with a glorious and peaceful beach, located off the coast of Northern Kenya.

Lamu is a bucket list destination where tourists can settle into a quiet world run by dhows and prestigious hotels and villas.
5. Malindi
A glitzy popular beach destination located 120 kilometres north of Mombasa. Malindi is a wonderful mix of old and new- from historic sites like the Malindi museum, Vasco Da Gama pillar to a buzzing nightlife with Casinos, nightclubs and fine restaurants.
