Getting to Diani Beach from Mombasa Airport

Diani Beach is 35 km south of Mombasa Airport, on the other side of the Mombasa channel. Your transfer crosses via the Likoni Floating Bridge — a quick crossing that adds around 5 minutes. The total journey takes 45–55 minutes in normal traffic; peak-hour Likoni crossings can occasionally add 10–15 minutes.

About Southern Palms Beach Resort

Southern Palms Beach Resort occupies a wide stretch at the quieter, more secluded southern end of Diani Beach — further from the busier central strip, the atmosphere here is noticeably calmer. The resort offers five swimming pools, a kids’ water park, and a dedicated PADI dive centre.

The all-inclusive package includes three daily buffet meals at multiple restaurants, unlimited drinks at the beach and pool bars, and a comprehensive watersports programme. The kids’ club runs from 9am to 5pm with supervised activities for children aged 4–12, making it one of Diani’s most family-oriented resorts.

Families with strollers, car seats, sports equipment, or large amounts of luggage should book a 7-seater or minibus from Mombasa Airport. The 52-minute transfer travels south across the Likoni Bridge to the quieter southern end of Diani.

What to Do Near Diani Beach

From Diani you can arrange snorkelling trips to the Kisite-Mpunguti Marine Park, sunset dhow cruises along the coast, kite surfing lessons on the wide beach, skydiving with Diani Skydivers, and quad biking through the coastal forest. The beach itself stretches 17 km of white sand — one of the finest stretches of coastline in East Africa.
