Asha Boutique Hotel: picture gallery


Diani Blue manages to combine atmosphere, personal service and a central location on Diani Beach.
You arrive via a luxuriant garden packed with tropical plants and a fishpond…
…which you cross to reach the house. There are some quiter relaxation corners…
…and then a shady path…
…to the main lounge and reception area.
Looking out east towards the beach, the lounge is shaded from the morning sun.
Nearby, the billiards room…
…library and darts area…
…also includes Diani Blue's bar.
From here, a covered dining terrace…
…stretches towards the beach, alongside the pool.
Daily specials are chalked up in the lounge…
…and are hearty and dependable.
The beers are good and cold, too.
In the centre of the property, the pool…
…is better than you might expect…
…in such a small hotel…
…and there are plenty of shady recliners scattered around.
Unlike larger properties, you're never more than a few steps from your room…
…or the bar.
Diani Blue's rooms are modestly sized…
…but comfortably furnished, and several open straight onto the pool terrace.
Bathrooms are modern and smartly furnished…
…with good showers.
One room, Alq'amr, has its own, somewhat private, sandy patio area, close to the beach.
Along the seaward edge of Diani Blue is a sandy terrace known as The Edge.
It's a delightful area to eat…
…or just sit with a drink and gaze up the beach.
Even here, in the middle of Diani Beach, it can be surprisingly quiet…
…and the no-nonsense wall at the edge of the property makes pestering beach boys unproblematic.
