Southern Palms Beach Resort

Destination

Mombasa

Southern Palms Beach Resort is a beautiful 4star Hotel situated on the white beaches of Kenya's Diani, approximately 35km South of Mombasa The main feature of Southern Palms is its two massive swimming pools. These must be the largest pools we’ve ever seen! The pools loosely twist around the Southern Palms Beach Resort's two ‘swim-up bars’ and are surrounded by rows of palms. Southern Palms Beach Resort reminded us of an oasis with its blue waters and green vegetation. One of the pools, the one closest to the entrance, is a salt water pool. The other, which is slightly larger is a freshwater pool and seems to be the favourite. Southern Palms Beach Resort opened in 1992 and is more like a little village than a hotel, with its great restaurants, bars and 4-storey accommodation blocks. Southern Palms Beach Resort has a fun kiddie’s centre as well as babysitting facilities. Southern Palms Beach Resort is very majestic and caters for all tastes, while still remaining quite classy. Apart from the great swimming pool there are loads of exciting activities at Southern Palms Beach Resort to take part in. The Southern Palms Beach Resort is a sports fan’s dream with a floodlit tennis court, 2 air-conditioned squash courts, pool tables, bowls, table tennis, beach volleyball as well as great live entertainment at night, including African song and dance, acrobats and local folklore.
