At
the site of the 16th century Kongo mosque, situated 40km south
of Kenya's old Arab seaport of Mombasa, lies The Indian Ocean
Beach Club overlooking the powder white sands of Diani Beach and
the Tiwi river estuary. Spaciously set amongst more than 25
secluded acres of swaying Coconut Palm groves and magnificent
old stoic Baobabs this exclusive resort hideaway recreates the
by gone opulence of the rich Sultans of Zanzibar, who once ruled
Kenya's Swahili coastline. The Indian Ocean Beach Club opened
its doors in 1992. Surrounding the grand Moorish style arches of
the main buildings are scattered smaller, white washed, `makuti'
roofed structures of 100 air Deluxe Clubrooms. The rooms all
face the half-kilometer dazzling beach bordering the warm
turquoise-blue waters of the Indian Ocean.
All clubrooms are tastefully appointed with local
hand-carved furnishings and are filled with luxurious amenities.
For those who want something else to do other than soak up the rays, Nyali provides
a wide variety of activities. The animation team provides a range
of daily activities including water aerobics, water polo and
beach volley ball. There are also several ways available to
enjoy the attractions of the Indian Ocean.
