Some destinations are timeless; others are often well kept secrets. Lying south of Mombasa, Kenya, on one of the most beautiful beaches in the world, Afrochic Diani is the perfect getaway for the discerning traveller who wants to simply ‘flop and drop’ and enjoy the spectacular views of exotic and ancient dhows in full sail.

This exclusively intimate hotel - with only 10 guest rooms each with their own en suite bathroom, balcony and sun-loungers - is singularly personable and highly individual. In these days of large inventory beach hotels, Afrochic’s unique and eclectic style of interiors and designs makes a refreshing change from the standard alternatives.

All rooms, with large double beds, have a balcony and magnificent view to the Indian Ocean except the “Queen of Sheeba Room” that overlooks the lush garden and the fish pond. All en-suite bathrooms have a bidet and a shower with two rooms having also a bath tub. The bathrooms of the two Suites feature “Whirlpool baths with a view”. Each room is equipped with satellite television, DVD player, safe, mini-bar and tea & coffee facilities. Some rooms contain a comfortable extra bed used as sofa.

The “Zanzibar Junior Suite” has two such extra beds, while the “Punda Milia” Executive Suite has an extra bed and an adjoining single room that can double as a study room.

AFROCHIC beautifully landscaped furnished garden, situated between the crystal waters of the pool and the white sand of the adjacent beach, features a two level gazebo ideal for candlelight dining or for a professional massage caressed by the constant ocean breeze, as well as facilities for garden and beach breakfast service and barbeque dining.

Afrochic operates on a Full Board “Free style” system (drinks excluded). There are no Hotel rules; the rules are set by the guest himself as he would do in his own villa.
