About This Lodge

Almanara Luxury Villas offers a high-end, all-inclusive experience on the shores of Diani Beach, combining the privacy of a personal villa with the amenities of a premium resort. The property is known for its understated elegance and consistent focus on quality, offering a stable, sophisticated environment for its guests. 

The atmosphere is one of quiet luxury, with seamless service and meticulously maintained surroundings. It promises a complete coastal immersion, serving as a flagship for those who want a worry-free stay where everything is taken care of with care and precision. The style is classic and timeless, reflecting a deep respect for both Swahili heritage and modern comfort.

Location & Setting

The villas are positioned directly on the beachfront, tucked between towering palms and the white sands of Diani. The location is central yet feels private due to the clever layout of the property. The geography is dominated by the proximity to the Indian Ocean, with the sound of the waves and the salty breeze being constant companions. 

The reef-protected waters in front of the property are ideal for swimming and exploring. Access is easy via Ukunda Airstrip, which is just a short drive away. The setting combines the convenience of being close to Diani’s amenities with the tranquility of a private beach estate, offering a balanced and premium coastal experience.

Accommodation

Almanara consists of six executive villas and a spectacular five-bedroom boutique hotel, Sails. Each villa is a two-story structure featuring three en-suite bedrooms, a large lounge, and a dining area. The design incorporates traditional Swahili elements like carved doors and plasterwork, paired with contemporary furniture and art. 

Large verandas offer views of the gardens or the sea, providing a private space for outdoor dining or relaxation. The sensory focus is on the textures of fine linens, the coolness of the stone floors, and the bright, open spaces that define each room. It is a place where comfort and style are perfectly aligned for a restful stay.

Facilities & Experiences

The center of social life at Almanara is the stunning Sails Beach Bar & Restaurant, known for its unique architectural design and fresh seafood. Guests have access to a central swimming pool, a fully equipped gym, and a spa that offers a range of treatments. 

The all-inclusive service includes a personal chef and maid for each villa, ensuring that dining and housekeeping are entirely tailored to individual needs. This level of service creates a relaxed and pampered atmosphere, where guests can truly unwind. Whether it’s a private dinner on the villa veranda or a cocktail at the beach bar, the experience is always personal and refined.
