Lantana Galu Beach: A Modish Swahili Paradise
Across the 22 km span of Diani Beach Road are assorted signs and high-sounding resorts popping-up one after another, to tally with the seller’s experience of Diani. And for what that is worth, few would have it any other way. An artful example is Lantana Galu Beach that reads on paper as a separate destination in South Coast, oft-times flimflamming many a writer to imagine it as a lonesome destination. In context, this is pleasantly located along Diani Beach near Baobab Beach Resort. It is acclaimed for its trim, award-winning through and through Swahili undertone. It offers a range of suites and villas with airy open plan living spaces flooded with natural light and natural cross ventilation that takes advantage of the warm breezy coastal climate. If you have the time, a drive across Diani Beach Road is a worth while experience. It is also navigable without too much extra trouble by simply hailing a hop-on hop-off “tuk-tuk” – a localized version of the rickshaw – at an affordable rate. Lantana Galu Beach is located just 8.1 km south of the Diani Mall.
Around Kenya, there is a collection of rare experiences, in amazing lodges, offering guests intimate encounters with parts of the world not many get to know – and the chance to slow down and truly discover them.
