On Diani Beach on Kenya’s south coast, The Sands at Nomad is a barefoot-luxury beachfront resort of 29 rooms and suites, with several restaurants, a spa, a pool and a dive centre, part of the wider Sands Kenya collection.

Swahili-inspired ease by the Indian Ocean

The Sands at Nomad sits beachfront on Diani Beach on Kenya’s south coast, surrounded by tropical forest and turquoise sea, the flagship Nomad Beach Resort within the wider Sands Kenya barefoot-luxury collection. It has 29 rooms, from traditional beachfront bandas to ocean-view suites and garden rooms, in Swahili-inspired decor with authentic art. Dining runs across three restaurants, including the poolside Rivas with barbecue and teppanyaki menus and the Nomad Beach Bar & Restaurant on the sand, with farm-to-table sourcing from the collection’s own sustainable farm.

There is the tranquil Nomad Maisha Poa Spa, a fitness centre, a swimming pool with a pool bar and an on-site dive centre and marine-conservation hub. With a strong eco and sustainability focus, it offers diving, deep-sea fishing, mangrove tours, snorkelling and dhow sunset rides. Part of the Sands Kenya collection, it suits couples, families and ocean lovers who want a relaxed, eco-conscious barefoot-luxury Diani beach stay, ideal as a post-safari extension.
