- Southern Palms Beach Resort
Southern Palms Beach Resort is a large beachfront resort located directly on Diani Beach, one of Kenya’s best known Indian Ocean destinations. The resort has around 298 rooms and is designed for travellers who want easy beach access, plenty of facilities and a relaxed coastal stay after a safari. Its position along the white sand beach makes it especially convenient for guests who want to spend most of their time close to the ocean.
The resort offers spacious accommodation surrounded by tropical gardens and palm trees, with rooms designed for couples, families and groups. Superior Rooms start from around USD 145 per person per night during the low season, although the final price depends on your travel dates, room arrangement, number of guests and selected meal plan. Rates can change considerably during peak holiday periods, so we always confirm the exact price and availability for your dates before booking.
One of the main reasons we recommend Southern Palms Beach Resort is the number of facilities available within the property. Guests can enjoy swimming pools, restaurants, bars, beach areas and a variety of water based activities without needing to leave the resort each day. This makes it suitable for travellers who want a convenient beach holiday where dining, relaxation and activities are available in one place.
Southern Palms also works well as a beach extension after a Kenya safari. After several days of game drives in destinations such as the Masai Mara, Amboseli, Lake Nakuru or Tsavo, Diani Beach provides a very different experience with time to relax beside the Indian Ocean. Depending on your itinerary, we can arrange transfers or flights to connect your safari with your stay on the Kenyan coast.
We recommend Southern Palms Beach Resort for couples, families and groups who prefer a larger full service beach resort with direct access to Diani Beach. It may not be the right choice for travellers looking for a very small or private boutique property, but for guests who value beach access, multiple facilities, swimming pools, dining options and convenience, it is a strong option for finishing a Kenya holiday by the coast.

Everything You Need to Know About Your Safari Accommodation
Every great safari includes a comfortable place to rest after a day of adventure. Whether you are staying in a luxury lodge, tented camp, or budget-friendly accommodation, it is natural to have questions about comfort, location, meals, and facilities. Here, we have answered the most common questions travelers ask about safari accommodation, so you can plan with confidence and enjoy a relaxing stay in the heart of Tanzania’s wilderness.
Superior Rooms start from around USD 145 per person per night during the low season. This should be treated as a starting price rather than a fixed rate throughout the year.
The final price depends on your travel dates, room arrangement, number of guests and selected meal plan. Rates can also change during busier periods such as Christmas, New Year and other peak travel dates. When we include Southern Palms Beach Resort in your Kenya itinerary, we check current availability and confirm the exact rate for your specific dates before you book.
Yes. Southern Palms Beach Resort is a good choice for travellers who want a large beachfront resort with direct access to Diani Beach, extensive facilities and plenty of space to relax. The resort has around 298 rooms and is particularly suitable for couples, families and groups who prefer having restaurants, swimming pools, beach access and activities within the same property.
We especially recommend it for travellers finishing a Kenya safari who want a comfortable coastal stay without needing to organise activities every day. It offers more of a full resort experience than a small boutique hotel, so guests who value convenience and facilities generally find it a practical choice.
Southern Palms Beach Resort is located directly on Diani Beach on Kenya’s Indian Ocean coast. The property sits beside the beach, allowing guests to move easily between the resort gardens, swimming pools and the ocean.
Its location makes it convenient for travellers who want a dedicated beach stay after visiting Kenya’s safari destinations. Diani is also one of the most established coastal areas in Kenya, with restaurants, activities and other tourism services available throughout the area.
Yes. Southern Palms Beach Resort is located directly on Diani Beach, giving guests immediate access to the sand and Indian Ocean.
This is one of the strongest reasons to choose the resort. You do not need a vehicle or separate transfer to reach the beach. Guests can spend the morning by the ocean, return to the resort for lunch or the swimming pool and then go back to the beach later in the day.
Yes. We particularly recommend Southern Palms Beach Resort as a beach extension after a Kenya safari. Safari itineraries often involve early mornings, long game drives and several days moving between national parks, so spending time at Diani Beach afterwards gives you a completely different pace.
The resort can be combined with safari destinations such as the Masai Mara, Amboseli, Lake Naivasha, Lake Nakuru and Tsavo. Depending on the route, we can arrange domestic flights or road transfers so that the safari and beach sections work together smoothly.
Southern Palms Beach Resort has approximately 298 rooms, making it a relatively large resort.
This means guests have access to more facilities and communal areas than they would normally find at a small beach hotel. The atmosphere can also be more active, particularly during busy travel periods.
Travellers looking for a very small and private property may prefer a boutique hotel, but those who want restaurants, pools, activities and a full resort environment may find Southern Palms more suitable.
The resort offers comfortable rooms designed for different types of travellers, including couples, families and groups. Superior Rooms start from around USD 145 per person per night during the low season, subject to travel dates and booking conditions.
Room availability and occupancy arrangements can vary, particularly for families or guests requiring additional beds. We recommend confirming the exact room configuration before booking so that the accommodation properly matches the number of adults and children travelling.
Yes. Southern Palms Beach Resort is a good option for families because it provides large grounds, swimming pools, beach access, restaurants and a range of activities within the property.
Families often appreciate not having to travel elsewhere every day for meals or entertainment. Children can enjoy the pool and beach while parents have access to restaurants and other resort facilities nearby.
Because the property is large, we recommend choosing the room arrangement carefully when travelling with younger children so that the family can stay comfortably together.
Yes. Couples who want a relaxed beach stay with plenty of facilities can enjoy Southern Palms Beach Resort. The beachfront location allows couples to spend time by the Indian Ocean while still having restaurants, pools and other services close to their room.
It works particularly well for couples who have already completed an active safari and want several quieter days before returning home.
Yes. Southern Palms can work well as part of a Kenya safari and beach honeymoon, particularly for couples who prefer a larger resort with many facilities.
A common honeymoon combination is to spend several days on safari and then continue to Diani Beach for a more relaxed coastal stay. Southern Palms provides an easy transition from safari travel to beach time.
However, couples looking for a very small, highly private or adults focused property may prefer a more intimate hotel.
Yes. Southern Palms Beach Resort has large swimming pool areas, giving guests plenty of space to relax when they are not on the beach.
The pools are one of the property’s main advantages, particularly for families and travellers who enjoy spending part of the day beside the water without going into the ocean.
Having both direct beach access and swimming pools also gives guests more flexibility depending on the weather, tides and how they want to spend the day.
Guests can spend their time swimming, relaxing on Diani Beach, enjoying the resort facilities or taking part in selected recreational and water activities.
Depending on your interests, your stay can also be combined with excursions around the wider Diani area. The exact activities available can depend on weather conditions, local operators and the length of your stay.
For most safari travellers, we recommend keeping at least some days completely free rather than scheduling an excursion every day. The main value of adding Diani after a safari is having time to relax.
