Description :
Nomad is a return to basics on Diani Beach. You pass new shopping malls,
discos and highrise hotels and then turn down a long, winding dirt road
shaded by old trees: a staggering contrast. Guests have a choice of
staying in one of the three new large family cottages or in the older
small bandas. The setting is idyllic – only grass and tall palm trees
between you, the beach, and the ocean beyond.
Staying in the bandas at Nomad is like camping on the beach – except the
“tents” are made of sticks. The cottages, on the other hand are bright
and spacious with sliding glass doors on to private verandas and the
beach just steps away.
Nomad began as a restaurant 15 years ago, and is still a popular place
to eat. The food is simple and excellent. There are two restaurants. The
main restaurant (high thatch roof, sides open to views and breezes)
serves à la carte meals in the evenings with an emphasis on seafood. On
Sundays there is a curry and Jazz lunch.
The ultracasual “Nomad’s Beach Bar” is basically a Makuti roof supported
by a tree trunk with sand underfoot. Customers are often in swimwear,
and the ocean is only steps away. The menu ranges from sandwiches to
wonderfully fresh seafood platters. The Diani Boutique adds colour and
activity to the scene.
Nomad is popular with British Kenyans. It has a relaxed and friendly
atmosphere. The staff have been there a long time, there is a loyal
repeat groups of guests, and children are welcome. As the manager said,
“This is the exact opposite of a package tour place… there are no
jumping Masai for entertainment… here you can completely relax, you
don’t even have to talk to anyone else.” The only pool is the Indian
Ocean. Deep sea fishing is available, and there is a diving school.
the view
is stunning. Wide, sugar-white beaches, turquoise
water, great pool, good food in the restaurant
