Nomad Diani is excellent.

Had a great experience at Nomad resort. Facility was clean, friendly staff and excellent dining options. Highly recommend this hotel.
Suleiman, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Very nice boutique hotel in a very private area of Diani Beach. Has a private sunbathing area overlooking the beach and also a great private pool. The staff are extremely friendly and there are great dining options on the hotel grounds.

8/10 Very good

A nice quiet small hotel with generally very friendly staff right on the wonderful Diani beach. Learner divers in the only pool could upset some people and there is a fair walk to the main restaurant.

Diani stay was a dream

I Loved my room. It was a sanctuary. I loved the beach and the set up of how the hotel was on the beach. Pristine, beautiful and like a dream spot. I do wish the front desk service was more professional and attentive. My arrival was fantastic. But any calls or interactions with them, was un educated about the hotel on the whole and barely helpful. The room attendees are magnificent. The wait staff were lovely. Restaurant manager was exemplary.
Robert, 5-night trip

6/10 Good

Great but there is always a room for improvement.

Sands at Nomads is great overall, but there are little things that could be improved. One big one for improvement is the restaurant - both the food and service.The menu is hit-and-miss, there are some great dishes but many far from great. The restaurant service could also be improved. During our 4 days stay, our orders were confused more than once or twice or the restaurant staff did not actually know what the dishes are.

Stunning resort. We had beach rooms with direct access to the beach. I am literally on the beach. The hotel staff were all amazing, some of which I will mention by name. Jamila, Lilly - I think, Rashid, and because I don’t remember all the names, everyone went above and beyond to make our stay memorable. Thank you, hotel management and staff, for living up to our expectations and much more. If we are ever in Diani Beach, this is where we will stay
Khaled, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Stayed 3 nights in the beach cottage…the view is stunning and the cottage is very cozy…the first night suffered a bit from mosquito bites but the reception staff ensured the following nights mosquitos free. The beach is beautiful with soft white sand and falling asleep with the backdrop of the ocean waves was such a blessing.

The Sands at Nomad is magical. The location is perfect. We had an ocean view room with a gorgeous view just steps from the beach. The property is more of a boutique so it never felt crowded. The staff was simply phenomenal. They were so kind and nice, and assisted us with whatever we needed. The onsite dining was wonderful. The pool area was lovely (just the right size for us). And, we loved the monkeys and bush babies that frequented the property. We were a family of four (two adults and two teens), and we loved staying here.

This place is amazing!

The hotel is set in the most wonderful location, you can expect to have the Indian Ocean lapping your feet, the wind in your hair and the sun on your face. The staff will cater for your every need, be sure to do the 7am yoga sessions with Sam, it’ll set you up for the day, follow that with an ice cold madafu with breakfast at the Nomad bar. You must also indulge in the Sands Signature massage; 2 hours of pure bliss (as if you needed anymore!) a body scrub with followed by a massage, you will float out of the spa! The food is delicious both for lunch and dinner, we were lucky enough to be there for the full moon in March and captured some amazing photos. We are looking to return in January 2023…something tells me this could be my ‘go to place’ for some R&R and to escape the UK winter. Thank you to all the team at Sands at Nomad. You made our break so special and we can’t wait to return.
