Unspoiled relaxation in a peaceful tropical setting

Situated on the peaceful Msambweni beachfront, 20km south of Diani, away from the crowds is this fantastic small yet intimate resort with just 14 private suites. Saruni Ocean is perfect for guests who want a calm and relaxing holiday, perhaps after a Safari, in a beautiful setting where the Indian Ocean rolls in over pristine white sand.

Whilst enjoying the location, guests can aid their relaxation by enjoying a treatment in the resorts very own spa, take part in a yoga or meditation class and swim in the 1,000m2 infinity pool. For those who want to be a little more active there is snorkelling, scuba diving through the colourful coral reefs or try deep sea fishing.

The resort is easily accessable from Diani airport via 30 minute return transfers and Diani airport is accessed via direct flights from Nairobi domestic airport. Transfers from Mombasa airport are also available and this takes 90 minutes but is a lovely drive. There are also links from Amboseli, Tsavo and the Masai Mara.

A relaxing way to finish a safari!

We spent three nights here and my whole family thoroughly enjoyed it. The staff is amazingly friendly and attentive and the cuisine is spectacular. The staff members learn your names and tastes and adapt accordingly. Rooms do have air conditioning if desired. Have some extra cash to spend at the “local shop” from the villagers that are allowed to sell local carvings, beadwork and other items. We were sad to leave.

Beautiful place to relax after safari

London, United Kingdom

We stayed at the Ocean Spa Lodge in January 2019. We had just come from 5 days of safari and were looking forward to relaxing by the ocean. The hotel is absolutely stunning, located right on a beautiful beach that (when we were there, at least) was practically empty and all to ourselves. The rooms and facilities are fantastic. The service is exemplary and the hosts - Luca and Giulia - are great; nothing is too much trouble. I would also add that the food is quite wonderful - lots of fresh fish. Overall, an amazing place to stay if you want relaxation without too much formality. Look forward to visiting again.

The paradise to relax after safari

Berlin, Germany

A wonderful way to relax after safari. We ended our visit to Kenya with a stay at the Ocean Spa Lodge after three days on safari and could not have asked for a better place to relax and recharge before heading home. It was ideal, a small number of villa. First class accommodations relaxed atmosphere with large bedrooms beautiful decorated with lovely ambience, big luxurious bathrooms and large terraces, large pool offers stunning views of the Ocean. This is a new lodge managed by Luca and his wife Julia who are Italian. They are really attentive and are supported by a really friendly helpful group of staff. The resort sits on a soft sandy stretch of beach our suite overlooked the ocean. The gardens / grounds are perfectly cultivated and beautifully kept and everything in resort is incredibly clean. You can do a great beach walk, or be happy just within the resort grounds, which are beautiful. The spa has a range of treatments with a massage, facial and pedicure all of which were very enjoyable. The therapists, like all of the staff, are friendly and make you feel relaxed. The food is amazing and the wine plentiful. The chef came out to see us every evening to see if we had enjoyed her delicious food. One evening the staff asked us if we would like a BBQ on the beach. They organize everything perfectly. We enjoyed a feast of fresh fish, lobster and steak, it was a delightful evening. Fresh ingredients prepared with skill and imagination and a menu full of variety and everything absolutely delicious. All the staff delightful; every single person from the gardener to the head waiter utterly charming , helpful and courteous This is the perfect spot to just relax and restore your mind and spirit. While we were here we also enjoyed jogging and walking together and wading out looking at sea creatures in the warm shallow waters along this beautiful stretch of beach. This was literally the best place for us to unwind after our safari adventures. Very well recommend!!
