Karibu — welcome

A garden by the ocean, where everything is included.

On the Kiwengwa shore, palms and bougainvillea frame a long white beach and a lagoon that draws far out with the tide. Diamonds Mapenzi Beach blends Swahili-inspired architecture with attentive, all-inclusive service — the dining, the drinks, the pool, the watersports — so all that is left to do is slow down.
