The place and staff were truly wonderful. We have no complaints and will definitely be referring this place to all our friends

It was all fantastic

The room was absolutely beautiful. Crisp aircon, beautiful views of the beach from 2 bifold doors. Staff were so attentive and friendly. Managers were always thinking of you. We got sunburnt on the first night and they cut a piece of Aloe Vera for us. Nothing is too much trouble. Not to mention it's right on the beach. 24/7 security. Groundskeeper. Free coconut! Food was so impressive. We only stayed 2 nights but felt like we'd stayed weeks with how everyone treated us.

Nothing to fault, it really was a perfect stay. Only very minor suggestions would maybe be to add more loungers for hotel guests and maybe a bit more clarity on where to obtain beach towels.

Fantastic boutique hotel set in a tranquil part of Diani Beach. Modern and clean rooms, very spacious and we even had a beautiful sea view. We were on a full board plan and for foodies with an appetite, this was amazing. Great variety of food and the quality was fantastic. Lovely cocktails as well. The hotel is literally steps away from the sea and in a private compound, so felt safe at all times, means you don't get hassled by any people trying to sell you stuff whilst relaxing. Even then, this part of Diani Beach is definitely more peaceful than further south where there are more large resorts (so the sellers tend to focus their efforts there). Finally I must mention the excellent service from everyone here. Jas and Selma welcomed us to the hotel very warmly and were on hand to assist with any of our queries throughout our stay. Whenever we wanted to arrange to do any activities eg water sports, massage, etc - this could be done via Mercy at reception! And not to forget all the friendly and fun restaurant staff (special shoutout to Jason). Thank you all again!

we have no complaints

Great experience! It is nice to find such an oasis of peace and excellent service in Africa. Those who write that this is not a hotel, but a home, are right. The waiter will ask when you would like dinner and let you know when your meal is ready. They will bring you a towel if they see you swimming in the pool. Yes, the pool is not big, but you can swim in it alone. Or as a couple :) We suggested to the host to classify the villa as "Adults Only" because it is obvious that couples like this place. So - if you are looking for silence, peace and comfort on Diani beach - choose Searenity beach villa. Or at least visit their excellent restaurant for lunch or dinner - you will be pleasantly surprised.

Need to learn how to make real cocktails. Maybe also a bigger selection of wine and champagne.

Wow, wow, wow…. “What an absolutely fantastic place to truly relax. It starts with the warm welcome from the owner, Mr. Jas. He explained everything wonderfully, and when we asked about breakfast-time he simply replied: whenever you like. You are on vacation here, not in a camp. The food is absolutely fantastic, and I can highly recommend it. Overall, it’s a great little boutique hotel. We will definitely come back.”

Its amazing place. We had the room with a fantastic view on the ocean. Maximum score to the hotel staff. Everyone is very polite and always ready to help. We truly enjoyed staying in this place. Delicious food, once we waited quite a long time for the main course for dinner, but it didn’t spoil our stay. I will recommend this hotel to everyone and will definitely return myself the next time I visit Kenya.

Extraordinary small hotel directly at the beach....very much a heavenly place!. The facilities are great and the service outstanding, Additionally, the restaurant of the place (Anchor) is totally delicious. I will come back as soon as possible!

Sometimes there was a longer waiting time for the food while the restaurant was not crowded. It was no problem for us as we spent the entire day there but the prolonged waiting times may be an issue for those who have some scheduled program.

We have stayed for 6 days at Searenity Beach Villa. Jas and Selma and the staff did an exceptional work to make our stay as relaxing and enjoyable as possible. They took care of all our personal requests and handled our stay very proactively. The communication went really smoothly with them. There are only a couple of apartments, so the atmosphere is very intimate which makes it the perfect place to enjoy the sound of the ocean and just to relax. The food was great and we also had a massage there which also leveled up our stay and highly recommended to try out during your stay.

Great hospitality, felt very personal, tranquil, great location and beautiful setting. Great staff, food, and happy to help organize local activities. A tranquil home away from home.

Our room looked better than it does in the pictures. It was very spacious and comfy, with all facilities - large bed, two closets, large bathroom and a nice little terrace. I especially liked that there were windows all around instead of walls (no worries about privacy though). Room was cleaned two times a day, they stocked the water every time which is a small but appreciated detail. They have security on site at all times and we felt safe enough that we didn't even lock our rooms. Location is another plus - right in front of the beach. The staff were amazing, very attentive throughout our stay, the owners are there most of the time and it really makes a difference. The food was great, we got full board and it was well worth it, you can order from the a la carte menu which is a very big plus. Sometimes waiting times for the food to arrive were a bit long but it was so good that we weren't bothered. Also you can order in advance if you want to have the food at a certain time. Small details that make a difference - water, coffee and tea, ice creams were available all day for free. The place was quiet and cosy, honestly we felt like we were at home for the week.

Searenity was a little piece of Heaven on Earth. We loved our stay! Jas and the team went above and beyond to ensure we were happy and comfortable. Nothing was too much! We stayed for 4 nights in one of 6 (I think 6!) rooms on the resort. It is quiet and intimate without the chaos of a big resort. It is situated right on the beach - white sand and blue ocean as a backdrop for every meal. The swimming pool was a treat too! (and only open to residents). Our room was spacious, the bed super comfortable and we had a shower and very large tub to choose between. The aircon worked wonderfully. We loved that the rooms had solar power (yay for saving the Earth), but also had the option to switch over if needs be (if water was not heated enough early in the morning). There were a few nation-wide electricity cuts while we were there, but the solar power helped, and generators kicked in immediately. The WiFi was speedy and we managed to do some work while we were on holiday. We opted for the breakfast and dinner inclusive for our stay, which was flexible if we decided to eat at another restaurant in the evening (we could have a lunch instead). Jas is also the chef, and we were treated to the MOST incredible food. I can't say it enough. The portion sizes were huge and every meal was delicious and fresh! We could have a sharing starter, a main and a dessert, (and endless home made ice-cream and sorbet to our hearts content). The restaurant is open to the public, but guests were always prioritised and guaranteed the best tables. Jas was able to recommend some wonderful activities and restaurants within the area and arranged taxis and tuk tuks for us. The staff were an absolute highlight for me. So friendly, accommodating, approachable and kind. Our rooms were made up every morning and turned down every evening. I can't recommend Searenity Beach Villa enough. We hope to be back one day soon!

Nothing is 100% perfect, but Searenity comes pretty darn close. Two things that suggest for them to improve: 1. The road to get to the property from the main road should eventually be paved. 2. Central air. Again, these are just two long term fixes. Also, maybe they could expand the size of the hotel so we can bring our whole extended family cos the place and the beach should be shared 😊.

Highlights: the reviews are accurate: boutique 5 star hotel with an amazing restaurant right next to the beach. Top notch attention to detail, security, food, caring owner and staff. The hotel, food, proximity to beach, the management, and the team are simply the best. First, Searenity and the expert was the best. The best boutique hotel I’ve ever stayed in the world, the best restaurant in Africa I’ve visited, and the best service my wife and I have received. Second, we are rebooking for our next stay already before we left and told our friends and family.

The best Tiramisu outside of Italy! The management worked hart on avoiding defects of big hotels: Example -> no timeline for breakfast and a lot more. The kitchen is extraordinary good. Every of our wishes were fulfilled. A really quite and relaxing oasis with a nice beach view. Coming back for sure. Thanks to Selma and Jas for this beautifull place.

The place is amazing. Well located directly on Diani beach, you have instant access to white sand beach and azure ocean. The food is really great, on the same level as Nairobi's top restaurants. The staff tries to accommodate your every wish so you feel very pampered. I can't recommend this place enough.
