The Pavilion

The heart of
the house.

Breakfast together, a long lunch in the shade, one more conversation at the bar. The Pavilion brings dining and lounging into the open air, with the pool just steps away.

Move from the shaded dining table to the bar, then down to the sunken poolside lounge. There is always another place to settle in.

Diani Beach, Kenya

Garden privacy.
The ocean within reach.

A short stroll along the compound’s private access path brings you to Diani’s white sand. There are no roads to cross between your villa and the beach.

The villa’s outlook is over its own pool and gardens. The beach is close enough for a morning walk, a swim or a change of pace.

Diani Beach was named Africa’s Leading Beach Destination at the World Travel Awards 2024.
