-Perched on the most pristine stretch of Kenya’s South Coast, Baobab Beach Resort & Spa is the only resort uniquely embraced by not one, but two of East Africa’s most stunning beaches—the silky-white sands of world-famous Diani and serene Galu. Here, turquoise Indian Ocean waters kiss miles of unspoiled coastline, while a lush tropical paradise, dotted with 50 majestic baobab trees and swaying palms, surrounds you at every turn. Each sunrise feels like a private invitation to paradise.

Designed with comfort and elegance in mind, our guestrooms are spread across three distinct wings—The Baobab, Maridadi, and Kole Kole—each offering its own unique character and décor that have welcomed families, solo travelers, and groups for generations.

Guests enjoy access to three swimming pools, five dining venues, and a signature spa inspired by African–Swahili architecture, where ocean panoramas set the stage for truly restorative experiences, alongside endless activities in tropical paradise.

Renowned as Africa’s Leading Family Resort, Baobab is more than a destination—it is a haven that embodies half a century of excellence and the unrivalled beauty of Africa’s most celebrated shoreline.
