Nungari, Dec 2024
Pros (+) An idyllic private island with stunning views of the Indian Ocean and a gorgeous wide white sandy beach. The three restaurants were great! The hospitality was excellent and the room was very spacious and well designed with a large ocean facing balcony and good attention to detail. Super comfy!
Cons (-) The only thing we can say is the desserts and the Swahili breakfast options can be improved.

Pros (+) A beautifully crafted and decorated hotel - on an island in the Indian Ocean (17km south of Diani) - sister hotel Nomad where we previously stayed and we would say it was a more peaceful experience.

There’s a lovely gift shop and so many activities - kayaking, mangrove walks, yoga, diving etc or you can just ...
Cons (-) There weren’t many bugs around but a suggestion: maybe a can of Doom in the rooms?
