Baobab Beach Resort & Spa

Package price from, per person sharing

Long beach days need not mean staying still throughout a trip: Diani offers time beside the Indian Ocean alongside opportunities to explore Kenya’s coastal culture and wildlife. Quintrip’s Kenya holiday package brings together return flights from South Africa, transfers, accommodation and selected meals, simplifying the practical arrangements. Travellers can build their stay around seaside relaxation, optional excursions or a balance of both, depending on how active they want their holiday to be.

Property Overview

Baobab Beach Resort & Spa spreads across extensive tropical gardens on Kenya’s south coast, with accommodation arranged in the Baobab, Maridadi and Kole Kole wings. Mature trees and coastal vegetation surround the buildings, giving the resort a greener setting than a compact beachfront hotel. Guests share access to three swimming pools and several dining venues across the property. Its combination of organised activities, family facilities and ocean-facing spaces suits travellers who enjoy having plenty of choice within one resort.

How far is the nearest beach?

The resort stands directly beside Diani Beach, with its grounds extending along around 700 metres of ocean frontage. Guests can reach the sand from the property without arranging transport or crossing a public road. The setting combines a coral headland, broad beach views and shaded gardens above the shoreline. Beach walks are an easy part of the day, while loungers, umbrellas and beach towels provide practical comfort between time on the sand and visits to the pools.

Distance from Airport

Moi International Airport in Mombasa is the relevant international arrival point, with a road transfer to the resort taking approximately 90 minutes under normal conditions. Traffic can affect the journey, so the transfer should be treated as an estimate rather than a fixed arrival time. Airport transfers can be arranged in advance, taking guests onward to Diani Beach on the south coast. Ukunda’s nearby airstrip serves a different purpose and should not be confused with the international airport.

Rooms

Accommodation ranges from garden-facing and ocean-facing rooms to larger Superior and Deluxe options and suites, with a balcony or terrace adding outdoor space. Entry categories are approximately 31 square metres, while Superior Rooms offer substantially more room at around 63 square metres, including outdoor space. Selected accommodation supports two adults and two children, and interconnecting rooms can be requested subject to availability. Air conditioning, tea and coffee facilities, a safe and Wi-Fi provide the everyday essentials.

Food & Drink

Three buffet restaurants form the core of the all-inclusive dining, with international dishes and changing themes bringing variety to daily meals. Karibu adds live cooking and ocean views, while Jodari looks towards the beach. For a separate à la carte experience, Tangezi focuses on seafood and Maharaja offers Pan-Asian fusion cuisine; these meals sit outside the standard all-inclusive offering. Pool bars and relaxation lounges give guests different places for drinks, afternoon tea and a break between activities.

Experiences & Activities

Days can move between tennis, archery, volleyball and organised pool activities, with the Rafiki Kids Club providing a dedicated option for younger guests. A nature trail through the grounds offers opportunities to spot birds and monkeys in the coastal vegetation. Through external providers, guests can arrange diving, snorkelling trips by glass-bottomed boat, watersports and excursions beyond the resort. Evening entertainment includes shows, acrobatics and traditional dancers, adding a cultural element alongside the more familiar holiday activities.

SPA & Wellness

Afya Bora Spa brings a dedicated wellness setting into the resort’s coastal gardens, with treatment rooms looking towards natural surroundings and the Indian Ocean. Its treatment range includes massages, body wraps, exfoliation treatments and baths, offering more than a simple massage service beside the pool. A steam bath, Jacuzzi and hydro bath complement the treatment facilities, while a fitness centre supports guests who want to keep exercising. Yoga and stretching activities provide further ways to include gentle movement during the stay.
