Workation in Diani Beach: the essentials
Roughly 30 km south of Mombasa, Diani Beach runs as a long strip of white sand behind a coral reef on the Indian Ocean, with hotels, villas and kite schools along one parallel road. Ukunda, just inland, is the working town with markets and matatus, and Ukunda Airport, about 3 km away, has scheduled flights to Nairobi that spare you the Likoni ferry. Colobus monkeys cross the road on rope bridges built for them, and the strip also has coworking spaces. Many businesses wind down in the long rains from April to June, and seaweed can pile up on the sand in some months.
