OVERVIEW
Do you ever wish you could have a villa on the beach with its own pool and enough space for everyone to hang out? It’s possible at Alfajiri, which has four large villas on expansive grounds along the Swahili Coast near Diani Beach. The Cliff Villa is built on the water’s edge so you can always see what the tide is up to. The Garden Villa is perfect for children who want to have rough-and-tumble play out on the lawn while the Beach Villa is smaller and more secluded, set in denser coastal forest.
Each has its own big swimming pool with a giraffe-patterned bottom and a ngalawa (traditional boat) is always ready to take you out to the reef for snorkelling.
