An icon of coastal elegance, Baobab Beach Resort & Spa occupies a stunning beachfront expanse along the azure shores of Diani Beach, just 10 km from Ukunda. Upon arrival, the sense of place is immediate and indisputable; the lobby welcomes guests with a harmonious blend of contemporary Kenyan design featuring warm earth tones, fetching geometric patterns, and vibrant local art. This first impression provides a visual feast; the thoughtfully curated artwork and spacious layout guide you seamlessly into one of the resort's three individual pools, each with panoramic ocean views. The atmosphere here is a fragrant bouquet of tropical flora and gentle ocean breezes, elevating every moment spent wandering through the lush 80 acres of gardens. Culinary experiences abound, from the delightful fusion of international and African cuisine to the crispy, freshly-caught seafood served in diverse dining venues-each meal accompanied by a carefully curated selection of fine wines. Not to be missed is the luxurious spa, where the Afya Bora Wellness Club provides a transformative approach to rejuvenation, enhancing relaxation like the ocean waves themselves.
