Days 6 - 12
After an early morning breakfast and connecting flight you will be transferred to Elewana Afrochic, the jewel in the Elewana collection of properties, situated on one of the most beautiful beaches in the world, Diani Beach, in Kenya. Being a small and intimate retreat of just ten rooms, this is a perfect option for a beach holiday without the crowds of the traditional, larger inventory beach hotels - and certainly one of the coast’s best kept secrets.
Friendly and attentive staff are on hand to provide those little but special details which will make your stay an unforgettable one. Spend the days swimming in the crystal clear sea or AfroChic’s free form pool, walking along miles of pure white sandy beach or simply ‘flop and drop’ and watch the Dhows sail by. Almost any kind of activity can be arranged for you here, whether it’s a morning of scuba diving, snorkelling, watersports, golfing, massage therapy or a Mombasa island tour, a visit to the Mwaluganje elephant sanctuary or the Shimba Hills National Reserve - there is definitely something to suit everyone.
On your final day you will be escorted to the airport, assisted in the airport and you will embark on your homeward flight.
