Impeccable! This resort is beautiful and the architecture is so unique and intriguing. The rooms are beautiful and spacious. I've never stayed at a resort with so much character.
The amenities are great. The breakfast options are tasty. The pool is beautiful and big so you can get your own private space. The floating bean bags in the water are so comfortable. I actually feel asleep on one.
The only thing I'd like to point out is... the beach on the resort isn't as nice as others. You may want to walk down to other beaches if you want white sand and blue water. But this is not a deal breaker at all. Gives an excuse to walk and see other neighboring beaches.

The resort is beautiful. The buildings; the gardens; the pools; the food - all spectacular.
Very peaceful. Delicious food in all the restaurants!! World class buffet breakfast and dinners.
The staff - some were excellent and some weren't very friendly. The gardeners, in particular, were so knowledgeable about the flowers and trees - we really enjoyed learning from them.

🌴 A Destination in Itself – Beautiful Design, Great AC, a True “Wow” Hotel
Arrival & First Impressions
On arrival, we were greeted with a refreshing welcome drink called Dawa Sawa (lime juice, honey, and soda – 550 KES). It was so good I ordered it several times during our stay. We also received a helpful briefing and tour of the property, which immediately set the tone for a special experience.
Architecture & Atmosphere
Swahili Beach Resort is truly a destination in itself. Designed in the 1970s by Polish-born architect Zbigniew Trzebinski and Slovakian Tibor Gaal, the property is a stunning showcase of coastal design and remains one of the most impressive resorts on the Kenyan coast. Photos and videos simply don’t do it justice – this is a genuine “wow” hotel.
Rooms & Rates
I paid $2,390 through Expedia for three nights in two king rooms (#115 & #116). Rooms are spacious, with mosquito netting, strong Wi-Fi, and excellent air conditioning. Views are limited due to lush mature vegetation, but that greenery adds to the tropical setting (and keeps mischievous monkeys nearby – keep balcony doors closed!).
Bathrooms feature powerful rain showers with strong water pressure (caution: hot water runs very hot). Tuk-tuks are available right outside the resort, and there’s a complimentary shuttle to Diani Airport.
Dining
Food here was the best we had during our 10 days in Kenya. The resort offers both half-board and full-board options across four restaurants.

We had a wonderful stay at Swahili Beach Resort! The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming from the moment we arrived. The rooms were spotless and well-maintained, making our stay very comfortable.
A special thank you to Edna, who was especially helpful during check-in. She made sure our family of four was assigned to rooms next to each other, which made things so much easier for us. She also kindly arranged a late check-out to accommodate our late flight—something we really appreciated.
Overall, excellent service, clean rooms, and a warm, relaxing atmosphere. Highly recommend!

Property and decor were beautiful.Rooms were very spacious. Food was excellent. Only issue was that you were charged for water at the restaurants. You received two bottles of water a day in the room but any additional water bottles you were charged for.

Beautiful property and rooms, friendly and helpful staff. Overall, the food could do with improvement, for example nachos were literally Doritos or something similar, with nothing on them, and everything else mixed into a cup to dip into. Saying that, food at Zanzibar, spice route and some of the breakfast options were very good.
Lots of quirks though! Only one restaurant was open for lunch, and even being low season, food took up to 1 hr 45 minutes to arrive, with no real explanation. Same when their system showed us checking out a day sooner than actual, no real reason was provided as to why.
Lots of cats, many are strays or kittens, and all should be spayed or neutered.
