Swahili Beach Resort!
The moment we entered Swahili Beach Resort, we were welcomed with a refreshing cocktail that lifted our mood. The peaceful and serene atmosphere was so inviting, and we couldn't wait to explore more. The resort is stunning, with beautiful vegetation, pools that reflect the sunlight, and elegant villas. It's a perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of city life and is especially ideal for couples and families.
Ali Barbour's Cave
After settling in, we had to experience the highlight of our trip, the Ali Barbours Cave. The historic cave restaurant is an enchanting eatery that boasts of mouth-watering seafood. To book a reservation, you have to choose either a 5-8 or 8-11 pm slot. We chose the latter as it suited our timeline. The cave, naturally made from coral rock, was magnificent and had a romantic ambiance that was hard not to notice. Although it was sprinkling when we arrived, they had covered the open cave, making it the perfect spot to enjoy a cozy dinner while listening to the sound of the rain. When the sky cleared up, the staff took off the tarps covering the cave opening, allowing us to witness the moonlit sky. We indulged in a seafood platter for two, which was a perfect combination of all their seafood specialties. The food was cooked to perfection and tasted divine.
After dinner, we headed back to the resort to enjoy some drinks and music at the beachfront bar. The vibrant atmosphere was the perfect way to end the night. We couldn't help but marvel at the breathtaking pools glowing at night.
Wake up for Sunrise
Overall, our stay at Swahili Beach Resort and experience at Ali Barbours Cave in Diani made for an unforgettable trip. If you're planning a visit to Kenya, I cannot recommend Swahili Beach Resort enough. From the exceptional service to the stunning scenery, this place has everything you need for a perfect vacation. And, if you're up for it, waking up for an amazing sunrise off of the beach is an absolute must! I'm a sucker for a good sunrise.
