Mawimbi Cottage Shamsa collection Beachfront Galu

Escape to our enchanting beachfront cottage, nestled in the heart of Galu, Diani. With a private pool, an ample veranda, and a stunning terrace, our tranquil haven promises a restful stay in paradise. Immerse yourself in the coastal breeze, marvel at the spectacle of humpback whales leaping outside the reef during their migration, and partake in world class water sports while enjoying access to a giant pool just step from your private oasis.
The space
Step into this Swahili-inspired cottage, where modern comfort meets coastal charm. You'll find everything you need for a memorable stay.

Bedroom: Rest peacefully in the spacious master bedroom, equipped with a king-size bed and a traditional Swahili casted bed, perfect for couples and families with kids. Wake up to the sound of the waves and the rustling of leaves in the indigenous trees.

Bathroom: Freshen up in the en-suite bathroom, complete with a shower and all necessary amenities.

Living Area: The open-concept living area invites you to relax and unwind. Curl up with a book on the sofa or connect to the world with our high-speed Wi-Fi.

Kitchen: Our fully equipped kitchen provides all the essentials for cooking up a delicious meal by one of our chefs or by yourself. Or, if you prefer, you can dine out at the best restaurants in Diani, just a short beach walk away.

Outdoor Paradise: Soak in the African sun on the ample veranda or take in breathtaking sunsets from the terrace. The private pool offers a refreshing dip, and the outdoor shower allows you to rinse off after a day at the beach.

The Property:
Our cottage is located in a park-like development under the pristine canopy of indigenous giant trees, providing a natural oasis where you may even spot some local wildlife.

Location:
Situated in the best stretch of the beach in Galu, you're just a few steps away from the warm, turquoise waters of the Indian Ocean. Stroll along the powdery white sands, explore the coral reefs, or simply bask in the sun.

Neighbourhood:
Galu, Diani is a vibrant and welcoming community with a range of attractions. You'll find the best restaurants within walking distance, serving up a diverse array of cuisines to satisfy your taste buds.
Guest access
The cottage, its pool, its terrace and a large garden ending at the beach will be dedicated to you. You will have access to a large shared pool, just steps from the cottage.
Other things to note
Currently Mawimbi Cottage is a BARGAIN due to some construction works in nearby compounds. The works barely affect the cottage and the actual noise is minimal.
The cottage features a kitchen and a balcony, and there's space to spread out with a separate bedroom. The cottage also includes a private pool.
