During the summer of 2011 we spent 3 weeks as a family of four (two boys aged 9 and 11) at the Almanara Resort and its sister property, the Ol Seki camp. To make it short: this was the best vacation we ever had. The staff in both locations are unrivaled hosts. They make you feel at home from the... More

Dear Marko, Thank you for the kind words. It was a true pleasure meeting you, Cordula and boys. I am thrilled to here you had a wonderful time. Your three weeks was long enough for us to still be missing you all, as you became part of the Almanara furniture! We hope to welcome you back again soon. Best, Leo... More

My girlfriend and I stayed for five days at the Almanara in mid-April. My expectations before arrival were extremely high based on prior reviews, descriptions and the professional and courteous approach Leo had with helping us book our stay. I can summarize our experience by saying every expectation was fulfilled during our stay and the trip was lovely. As a... More

We went to Almanara for our honeymoon and I must say it did not disappoint! Everything about our stay from start to finish was first class. All the staff, not just those in our villa, were extremely attentive and professional. I cannot speak highly enough of our experience, it really was worth the money (you get what you pay for)...

Wow! I really don't know where to begin! There's certainly nothing negative to say about Almamara. From the very beginning of our two week stay to our last few hours, we knew we had found somewhere very special. We were met at Mombasa airport and the air conditioned transfer with chilled water and a great driver full of enthusiasm for... More

Spent a weekend at this resort with business colleagues. We shared a 3 room villa 5 minutes walk from the beach. Had our own chef and assistant the entire time. Great experience. Wonderful food and service. Beautiful appointed rooms. Wireless internet worked very well. First class all the way. Highly recommended! More

Despite my concerns of Africa I took the plane and had a two week holiday in Diani, at the Almanara resort. Many places can offer quality, luxury or excellent service, delicious food, comfort....
