The house is furnished with art and has an old-world Swahili ambiance. There is a shared pool with lounge chairs right on the beach, featuring both a deep and a shallow children's pool.
Tamani is a quiet, family-friendly complex, located just past the luxury Almanara Resort. No loud parties allowed. Diani Airport is only 10 minutes from the house, with several daily flights to Nairobi and nearby game parks. Tsavo National Parks are just a four-hour drive away and can also be accessed via the SGR train.
You can walk to several fantastic beachfront restaurants, including the famous Sails and Salty Squid. We are located between two excellent kitesurfing schools. The Marine Park is just a short drive away, where you can take a traditional dhow boat for incredible snorkeling and, if you're lucky, swim with dolphins.
Please note: This is a private family home that we rent out when we are away. It is not a full-time rental, meaning it is not completely empty but remains very welcoming. Guests are expected to take care of the home and its belongings. Some personal items are locked away in an extra room that is not accessible to guests.
Due to the construction of a new house next door, Tulua offers a 30% discount to travelers.

Excellent home with beautiful furnishings, as described. The chef recommended was excellent, flexible and accommodated different diets exquisitely. Ilya was pretty responsive during the stay but Margaret is the house lady who is there for your needs and is very friendly and knowledgeable about the area. It was very hot the week we were there but the fans in the living room helped, definitely appreciated the A/C in rooms which worked well. I would certainly recommend this place to friends and family!
