Description

The Sands at Nomad epitomises laidback luxury in an atmosphere imbued with discretion, tranquility, warmth and exclusivity.Situated on the glistening white shores of the stunning Diani Beach, The Sands at Nomad provides an idyllic beach getaway.

The hotel is nestled within 26 acres of indigenous coastal forest, which catches the cool sea breeze. Our rooms are awash with white walls, vivid ocean blues and Swahili architecture with a contemporary twist.

We offer a range of services and facilities including a relaxing spa retreat, swimming in our galena stone pool, a gym, yoga and fitness sessions on a dedicated yoga platform and an onsite watersports center. Activities include kayaking to a sand island and snorkeling through pristine waters.

The Sands’ prime location on Diani Beach is the perfect way to spend a day building sandcastles, camel riding and enjoying delicious homemade ice-cream.

Our a la carte menu in our main restaurant overlooking the beach offers guests a superb choice of international cuisine using the finest, freshest ingredients. Our restaurant also offers a special children’s menu. Riva’s Bar and Restaurant, located next to our swimming pool, is exclusive to our guests. It is the ideal spot to lunch without venturing far from the pool and provides an intimate, candle-lit dining experience by night.

    This restaurant is worth visiting - ambience is good and there’s lots of space. It’s great that it’s right on the beach so you get a stunning view to enjoy while you’re eating. There are many tables which is very handy since if you don’t book at various other restaurants during high season, you can be disappointed. We were a party of 7 and were glad they had a table for us. Food is fine - wouldn’t say extraordinary - but also not at all bad either. Come here for a relaxing lunch with a stunning view. That’s what you pay for.

    The downside of a busy restaurant is the service - we were left waiting for quite a while.

    We stayed at the sands at nomads multiple times no wonder I loved every single stay! The staff are super friendly and great with kids. The rooms are outstanding - they offer amazing facilities and awesome views. The beds are like sleeping on clouds! The food and the pool are also key charms in the crown. We absolutely love it!

    After a great welcome you will experience a 24-7 service. Relax enjoy the magic of The Sands. The restaurant was far better than you can expect from an all-inclusive and with no WIFI so you had to talk and relax - that is vacation Romantic, calm, peaceful

    Only problem you have to go back home

    The service was good, some of the personnel were hilarious. The restaurant has an Italian chef, so all the meals were tasty.

    The hotel is overpriced, you would get the same experience with the twice cheaper hotels in Watamu.
