Nomad Beach Resort

Beautiful location in the heart of an isolated space which makes you feel like you are in a different world. The food was absolutely delicious, the staff very professional and friendly, the kids could wander around freely and we had an amazing time relaxing there. Can't wait to go back for a stay at the hotel.

We stayed at the Nomad in late October 2025 in a family beach villa. We were a bit unlucky with the weather (lots of rain) but the resort is beautiful and highly recommended. The beach is as stunning as it looks on photos, with sand that almost feels like play-dough and shallow warm seas which are ideal for kids. ||The menu in the main restaurant (we were on "3/4s board") was great - loads of choice and went down really well with the kids. Special mention to waitress Yvonne who looked after us and was smiley and lovely throughout. We also really enjoyed the Teppanyaki restaurant and especially the BBQ restaurant so would definitely recommend booking those.||The villa was great with lovely balcony and patio and right on the beach. It got a bit wet with the rain but not surprising as it was pretty intense. Showers were a little bit weak and not that hot if we wanted to nit-pick but otherwise the villa was very comfortable and everyone slept really well. ||Overall really positive - the resort felt spacious and friendly, with great food and drinks and an amazing beach (plus diving, SUPs, kayaks etc all at your fingertips). A great chill-out after a week of safari beforehand.

We have stayed here a few times but since the last visit there have been lots of improvements, not that it needed any! |The rooms are now really bright and the bathrooms have all been updated .|The staff go above and beyond to make sure guests enjoy themselves.|Especially Nelly at Rivas bar, also Hamidi and Jamila at the beach bar where anything is possible even if not on the menu.|We also took part in the wine and cheese evening, which was organised by Eric the Somelier. Very informative and relaxed, would definitely do this again.|The extra touches like the afternoon tea which is available to all guests is a nice touch and helps meet other guests .|Also the advantage of being able to use non motorised water sports.|We will definitely be back

A big improvement - food service & experience on point We visited Nomad beach and restaurant this december and were genuinely impressed by how much things have improved compared to our visit last year. The new menu is well thought out and diverse. We especially enjoyed the sea food platter, the grilled catch of the day and the prawn curry, all of which were fresh, flavourful and beautifully represented.The wood fire pizza was perfectly done and the sushi selection was perfectly done and we'll balanced. Every dish showed clear attention to taste and quality. Service made the experience even more better. Mr.Suleiman our service man was professional , friendly and very attentive , ensuring smooth service throughout the meal. A special mention to the manager James Brown - much like the legendary soul artist, he truly kept the good times rolling . His visible leadership,warm engagement with guests and attention to detail clearly contributed to the improved standards and relaxed atmosphere. With the stunning beachfront location, improved service and a noticeably elevated menu, this visit completely changed our perception of Nomad. We will definitely be back and confidently recommend it.

We stayed in a beach cottage. The room was very nice and having private lounge chairs was a nice touch. Would have been great to have some kind of food/beverage service in this area. Even if it was once every half hour. They have the staff but it wasn't a huge deal to have to walk to the bar are but would have been a nice touch. The kabob place was good but was way too much food but it was a fixed menu. The main restaurant was great and the food was good. The menu had a ton of options to cover a lot of cuisines. Table service is really slow but we weren't in a hurry. But, it is noticeable. The biggest issue is something they can't do anything about. The resort sits upon the most beautiful beach you can't use. The vendors are impossible. If you stand on the beach, they will stand next to you. If you sit on the beach, they will sit down next to you. If you walk on the beach, they will follow you. I actually like having local vendors but they will literally not take "no" for an answer. If you sit too long they will start trying to put things physically on you. You literally need to run to the water from the resort. Once they know you are staying there, they will wait at the bottom of the stairs for you (all day). You will see their heads bobbing up and down trying to see if you are coming down to the beach. It's tiresome. it's not the resorts fault but if you are traveling here you need to know this.

Average food. There are better restaurants in Diani which are more reasonably priced. The service was good but otherwise we were quite disappointed by this restaurant as we expected more based on other reviews.

Nomad Beach Resort was really something special. What started as a holiday from hell was very quickly resolved with the manager Lara taking full accountability and providing a truly special experience. The staff at the villa were exceptional and the chefs dishes were incredible with so much variety and flavours. Being vegeterian the chef tailored the menu to provide some truly authentic dishes. He was always smiling and helpful. All the staff were fantastic. Definitely recommend.

We stayed at this resort at the end of our trip to Kenya after visiting the Masai Mara.||We picked this hotel for its location on the beachfront compared to some other hotels in Diani without direct access. ||Rooms were rustic in style but clean. A mosquito net was included - we didn’t see any mosquitoes at the resort but we were grateful for this. ||The beach it is located on is truly stunning. It is a public beach so you are likely to be approached by beach sellers multiple times if going into the sea. All are very friendly but it was be a little uncomfortable at times. ||We booked a boat/ snorkelling trip through the hotel which was a great afternoon out. ||We would have liked a little more variation in the food options that were available - it became a little repetitive after 5 nights. ||Hotel seemed to have good security measures in place, with guards patrolling the beachfront at night and checks on all vehicles entering the property. ||Overall a lovely stay!
