description
An exciting holiday home development on the most prestigious coastline along Kenya offering exceptional options including the following:
Holiday home. Annual/bi-annual residency away from European winters. Exceptional return on investment.
So why is this development in Kenya the right place to invest in a holiday home?
Kenya is one of the most stable political and growth countries in Africa where its diverse population work and live together in harmony. Kenya’s main language is English, from media, banking, legal to land laws.
Its coastal weather is 12 months sun and the rainy season does not include cyclones and the like. Kenya is witnessing a decade of boom including becoming the number one tourist destination in sub-Sahara Africa. It is fast catching up with first world infrastructure, including telecommunications, medical facilities and the availability of luxury items. Kenyans are dynamic, friendly people and the Kenyan Government is actively seeking investors.
The villas:
This exceptional and innovative resort design was born from the idea that something should be created that keeps at the forefront the ideology of conservancy. The resort must co-habit and work with the environment and the community. This will set the tone of keeping the resort exclusive, private and protect all that it sets out to be… a haven from mass tourism where nature remains just that. Situated in its private 30-acre cove, the resort was procured to offer luxury upmarket Tree Houses on the beach for international tourists seeking a holiday away from mass tourism. Adding to this, it was felt that within this vast cove, 20 villas should be sold to like-minded people, offering an international standard but keeping within the conservancy concept.
So what does the resort offer:
Away from heavily populated beaches, the resort is tucked away in its own private cove where the sea still offers marine life and coral and where plastic is not the norm whether swimming in the sea or on the beach. Located in a 30 acre cove on the Kinondo stretch of beach, this area is unspoilt and isolated from tourism. The area remains fully forested with baobab trees on the beach. Wildlife including Dik Dik's and Colobus Monkeys roam and bird life including Walnut Vultures and Fish Eagles are in abundance.
As the Villas are within our resort and form part of our tourism concept, we offer full management and marketing back-up. This includes all areas owners would normally worry about, such as electricity, water, gardening, restaurant and bar facilities, security, maintenance, broadband for internet, satellite TV including Sky and BBC, and much more. All this falls under our business as the managing agents and partners.
In addition, we will market your house as a tourism destination. The design of each villa means they can be sold as a short stay tourist destination, as a 4 star plus unit. This will ensure you gain the maximum benefit of your house by bringing a return when you are not enjoying this very special place.
There are a limited number of villas for sale, phase 1 is sold and opened in Augst 2006, next phase projected to open 2009. Contact us for a sales brochure or take up our offer; come to Kenya and stay at our Diani beach accommodation your holiday will be refunded should you purchase a villa while with us.
By air: Direct flights both into Nairobi (with a connection down to Mombasa 1 hour flight) or into Mombasa from the UK are available.
By road: From Mombasa or Mombasa International airport the drive is 1 hour and 30 minutes with the resort being located 6 kms south of Diani.

how this holiday makes a difference

We have undertaken the following steps to protect the environment:
1. The villas are located within a fully forested 30 acre plot with indigenous trees and shrubs. While constructing the resort, buildings were positioned to ensure no major trees were removed. 2. By doing this, we have allowed indigenous flora and fauna species to maintain their habitat and presence in the land we share. 3. The beaches remain unspoilt, clean of debris and buildings thus preventing pollution taking place and allowing turtles to continue breeding. 4. The sea in front of resort leading up to the reef maintains some of the best coral in Kenya, as well as sea life such as whale sharks, tropical fish and clams. By working with the local fishing community through job creation and education, this area is in the process of being set aside for protection. 5. Visiting the resort is by invitation only, thus prohibiting day visitors and strollers, as well as onlookers. This will lessen the traffic on the dirt road leading to the resort. 6. All further development of the resort's neighbouring land has been reserved for a protected forest. 7. The resort has utilised as little of the land as possible to lessen overall impact. The resort in conjunction with its community partners have undertaken to: 1. Protect and assist the local fishing businesses that enjoy access via the resort to the fish markets in Diani. As the first point of call for the fishermen, we will not only be able to buy fresh seafood at fair retail prices, but will also ensure the fishermen are fishing correctly, which includes correct size of nets, and caught fish, crab and lobster. 2. On the southern tip of its land, the resort has provided a building suitable for storage and canoe repairs as well as the sale of fish to guests. 3. The labour pool for the building of the resort has been sourced from the community providing much needed employment. 4. It is expected that the resort will employ 70% of its staff from the community and offer training and career development. Previously, this community had one source of employment; subsistence fishing and small scale agriculture. 5. Provisions have been made for the local village to have easy access to fresh water. It currently takes village women half a day to procure water for their families. 6. We will, together with sponsors and partners, look at building a dispensary clinic . Currently local health needs are at the moment served by walks of up to 10 km to the nearest one, and use of wheelbarrows to transport the ill is still seen. 7. It is also our aim to provide the opportunity for guests to experience life as it really is in an African village, not as it is usually painted up to be for tourists. The resort will assist in marketing and bookings as well as ensuring some creature comforts for overseas guests. |
Tourism can be good and bad for destinations & local people. We carefully screen every holiday against our criteria for responsible travel. 'Look behind the brochure' to find how each holiday makes a difference (see left). We don't claim to be perfect - there is no global accreditation - but we've led the way since 2001 and screened 1000's of holidays. We invite every traveller to write a review about their experiences and responsible tourism. This valuable feedback is sent to the people who run the holidays. We keep a very close eye on it and take off holidays that don't live up to our standards. |
