Diamonds Malindi ⧫⧫⧫⧫+

From winter 2024/25 as ananea

Welcome to Kenya! Look forward to an unforgettable stay at ananea Diamonds Malindi, which opens in winter 24/25 as a new ananea hotel and is located directly on the palm-fringed sandy beach. Here, where the mesmerising power of nature merges with the typical African style of the resort to offer you a hypnotic magic that is called 'bembeleza' in Swahili. Adventure a la ananea!

Discover Kenya: tropical beaches, exotic animals & safari

Whether it's a relaxing break or an exciting adventure - at ananea Diamonds Malindi you'll find both. Relax on Balinese armchairs on the terrace of your room while the sound of the sea provides a soothing backdrop. Here you can enjoy the tropical surroundings in peace and quiet.

Thanks to the hotel's location, you can explore lively Malindi on your own. A visit to the colourful market or the famous timber factory provides an authentic insight into the local culture and the warm hospitality of Kenya.

An absolute highlight is an excursion to the impressive Marafa Canyon - also known as "Hell's Kitchen" - and of course a safari. Guests who stay at least seven nights enjoy a special experience: one free overnight stay in the "Kudu Camp". Additional safari packages can be booked on site, giving you unforgettable encounters with red elephants, giraffes, gazelles, lions and cheetahs. An experience that culminates in spectacular sunsets in the middle of the wilderness. An absolute highlight of your holiday in Kenya.
