The Sands at Nomad Hotel is a sparkling example of the beachy bliss of the Kenya South Coast. Situated behind the bright-white sands of Diani Beach (one of the best beaches in Kenya), this luxury boutique hotel answers all the prayers of those craving some time to switch off.

The Sands at Nomad's Positive Impact

Nestled in a serene indigenous forest, The Sands at Nomad offers luxury amid Diani's beauty, prioritising sustainability. With organic farming, upcycling, marine conservation, and community support at its core, Nomad immerses guests in eco-conscious luxury. Home to the Diani Turtle Watch, it safeguards turtles affected by tourism, relocating eggs to safe nesting sites in the hotel’s grounds. Its 5-acre organic permaculture farm provides fresh produce for the hotel’s restaurant, fostering community empowerment through farming initiatives and training. Through upcycling, old hotel amenities like hot tubs and sinks are repurposed into growing beds for harvesting tomatoes, guavas, spinach and more, symbolising Nomad's commitment to sustainability and community development.
