Overview
About Baobab Beach Resort & Spa
Baobab Beach Resort & Spa sits on Kenya's South Coast, bordered by both Diani and Galu beaches, with turquoise Indian Ocean waters and 80 acres of tropical gardens featuring 50 baobab trees. Guestrooms are spread across three wings—The Baobab, Maridadi, and Kole Kole—each with its own character, and all fitted with modern amenities including private terraces or balconies with ocean, pool, or garden views. Guests have access to three swimming pools, five dining venues, a signature spa inspired by African–Swahili architecture, and a wide range of included and optional activities. The resort has been repeatedly recognised as Africa's Leading Family Resort.
“Family-focused resort suits multi-generational groups on Kenya's coast with pools, activities, and recognized family credentials across 80 acres.”
