Mzima Beach Residences - Diani Beach

HUGE amenity filled resorts are a dime a dozen. BUT if you want a private home experience at Diani Beach with a full time staff included this is the place for you! Three retired couples were thrilled to relax in our lovely, well appointed 3 BR 3 Bath villa complete with private swimming pool post our 2 week African safari. Jacqueline answered my million questions patiently and always with quick response as I planned our visit. The villa is positioned in front of a building with hotel like rooms and it's own pool. We had the privacy of our house, patio, swimming pool and decking, spacious grounds and views to the beach. Charles, the general manager oversaw our stay with his staff of Chefs David and Anthony, room stewards and service staff - James, Jacqueline (not the same one I booked with), Edgar, Felix and Faith. We planned our meals with Chef David, they purchased everything (very reasonable), prepared and served every meal and pampered us our entire stay! Coffee was served early poolside followed by breakfast under the trees close to the beach, lunch and dinner also outside and one night a seafood extravaganza cooked and served grillside. There was an open air gym and tented spa facilities complete with the sound of the sea - FANTASTIC massages. Walks on the beach, a swim in the sea and a boat visit to the coral reef with snorkeling (arranged by Charles) completed our relaxing visit to Diani as we reminisced about our African adventures.

The resort is nicely built at the Galu beach and has access to the sea. Nice buildings with good standards, air condition, spacious sleeping and living rooms and various pools. We also had a chief and various other people to cook for us and take care of the cleaning, laundry, well being in general. Overall it was a great experience with very friendly and helpful staff.

I enjoy using the Mulberry Spa at Mzima. The treatment area is outdoors. You can see the sea while getting a pedicure. The staff is professional, knowledgeable and friendly. I usually get the pedicure and manicure with gel and the value for money is there.

The resort facilities are amazing, comfortable, new and very well located (on the Galu beach side). Excellent hosting services, including the SPA one. We got a nice breakfast on the pool side prepared on our specific request. The Chef is fully available to meet any request. Really recommended for vacation and any relaxing time!

Great stay. We very much enjoyed it. Staff were very helpful, especially Charles at the reception. Recommended.

#AmapianoTourKe Diani Beach Edition for me got it right with; 1. Amazing event location, planning and coordination. 2. Great security. 3. Good ground marshalls. 4. Great sound. 5. Great lineup. It is a crescent moon night in Diani Beach and I am surrounded by smiling faces. We are about to be immersed into the spirit of UBUNTU through music and art. Brittle whistles and thumping percussion are the order of the day on this one! From the streets of Joburg to the sandy beach of Diani, This is Amapiano! Beyond a mere mixture of genres, Amapiano is a feeling. The sound represents Soweto township’s heart and soul and extends South African music’s legacy into the modern era.
