Where to Stay

Afrochic

from $300 per person per night for 2026/27

An intimate and peaceful lodge sat on the white-sand coast

Contrasting against the larger beach hotels and resorts along the Diani beach coast, Afrochic is the jewel of the crown, offering an intimate experience with exceptional service and attention to detail. As part of the Elewana Collection, the boutique hotel occupies a large, modern house and is the perfect retreat for couples, families or guests really looking to just wind down.

Array of amenities and staff will go out of their way to help!

Some may find it too secluded

Sitting on the much-loved Diani Beach, Afrochic is in the perfect position for white sands, crystal turquoise reefs and a hot African sun. Recliner sunloungers, chairs, tables and shaded seating is positioned on the ground’s gardens to ensure guests are left in peace by any passing beach boys. Do see Parks & Regions on this page.
