We were very sad to find out that a resort that claims to represent holistic health, and charges its guests an arm and a leg, pays its staff the minimum wage (which is impossible to live on in Kenya), and doesn't even cover their transport or meals. Perhaps that explains why the food is just plain bad, and the yoga... More

This is now called Galu Beach Resort and is part of the Destination Adventures' offering of exclusive resorts along the Kenyan coast. The stay was a gift from my husband, and is ideal for an individual, a couple or a small group of friends. I would love to go again next year. Stephanie - the owner - is absolutely fabulous.... More

Looking forward to re-visiting as soon as the opportunity arises. our stay was over 7 days. The place is small in capacity hence great if you looking for peace and quiet, engaging enough to enjoy, reflect and re-energise to be ready for the world again. attention to service and detail managed perfectly by owner/ manager (Tas) . Its the people... More

I stayed at Shaanti for a few nights and it was incredible! The relaxing quiet environment was peaceful and the beach was divine. The majestic breath of the beautiful bright white sand beach and sparkling blue clear water simply took my breath away. It was clean and untouched land. The staff at Shaanti were friendly and knowledgeable. They always appeared... More

Dear Salim, Doris and all, Thank you for making our stay in Shaanti memorable. The hospitality was really special and unique. We felt at peace and relaxed just what we needed. Thank you all and God Bless SHAANTI. You will definitely see us more often and would not hesitate to recommend the place to our friends and collegues. Regards Suhaila

This place is really to be avoided: it's old, dire and doesn't deliver anything of what it promises except for the location. I've just returned from a week's holiday at the Shaanti Holistic Health Resort. I cannot express enough the utter disappointment and somewhat betrayal I feel towards Wellbeing Escapes for selling me (read: ripping me off)the holiday at Shaanti...... More

They charged $200 for a cottage with no hot water. Then moved us to another room for $250 USD, and after they had told us we could use the Jacuzzi (in their advert), then told us we could not, after an argument they relented but it did not work! The dinner was nice, as were the local staff. But the... More

Arriving after a very strenuous business trip my friend and I wanted a place to relax and revive ourselves. Shaanti did not disappoint. In fact it was so peaceful and low key it took a while for us to adjust. Once we did Shaanti began to work its magic on us - morning and afternoon meditation and yoga sessions, beautiful... More

sorry, but i really don't get why everybody raves about the place so much? there are far nicer places on the coast of kenya and in diani itself. it may have been all that when it first opened, must have been very different and delivered everything it promised but, frankly, the place needs a new coat of paint and is...
