Kenya’s premier south coast beach, Diani Beach, was graced in November 2005 with the coast’s
first ‘Boutique’ hotel, The Sands, at Nomad.
Set on 225 meters of pristine greensward with uninterrupted vistas over one of the most beautiful
stretches of this legendary beach, The Sands is the inspiration of the celebrated local artist,
Mario Scianna, who is already renowned for his work in creating two of the south coast’s most
stylish bars, Marco’s and Mario’s, at the adjacent Leopard Beach Hotel.
A unique fusion of hand-carved polished mahogany, soaring sail-work, classic Venetian
‘stucco’ and traditional Swahili architecture, The Sands nestles in 25 acres of indigenous
coastal forest, where silken-coated colobus monkeys swing. Centered upon a 5 meterdeep
futuristic pool with central gazebo, the sinuously curved central reception area
features an atmospheric lounge with a shaded al fresco Jacuzzi terrace, a Romanesque
bar, an al fresco restaurant offering excellent a la carte dishes, a boutique and global
connectivity centre. Deep in the forest shade is a professional massage and nature
treatments salon.
In keeping with the world-class style and innovative panache of the hotel’s conception, the
accommodation comprises an individualistic selection of 18 comfortable rooms, 7 exclusive
beach cottages and 12 luxurious suites, many with private Jacuzzis, panoramic terraces and
spacious sitting rooms. All the rooms enjoy air-conditioning, integrated music and entertainment
systems, private bars and 24-hour service, and all are individually interior designed and furnished
with an inspired combination of Swahili objects d’art furniture and Mario’s finest mahogany
woodwork (www.handmadeboats.com)
The resort offers also a delightful wave-lapped beach bar and restaurant incorporating and an
international dive school offering luxury launches, action sports and game fishing.
Unrivalled in terms of its idyllic situation, exclusivity and tranquility, The Sands is the first
Kenyan coastal hotel to excel in the creation of the ‘Boutique’ concept. Unparalleled in
terms of the discretion of its service, the excellence of its cuisine and the range of its
leisure options, The Sands offers the ultimate Indian Ocean retreat .
