Galu Holidays

Galu Beach sits on the East Kenyan coastline, just south of Mombasa, and offers a tranquil base for a relaxing beach holiday. The resort is located just south of the busy and more popular resort of Diani Beach, and is known as one of the best beaches in Kenya. Boasting white powder sands, swaying palm trees and the warm waters of the Indian Ocean, Galu Beach also has a coral reef and natural lagoon along its coast, making it an ideal location for scuba-diving.

 

Suiting visitors looking for a peaceful holiday on a stunning tropical beach, Galu Beach offers a quiet yet exotic destination with plenty of attractions nearby. The beach is often deserted and runs for almost 5km along the coast, and is a favourite spot for birdwatchers and nature-lovers. The area is one of the last places in Kenya to view the endangered species, the Colobus monkey, as well as a variety of other baboons and monkeys. There are a range of accommodation options in Galu Beach, with hotels enjoying stunning locations amongst lush gardens and tropical vegetation, and choices ranging from traditional thatched cottages to luxury boutique hotels.

 

The bustling resort of Diani Beach is just 15 minutes along the coast and a short hop for visitors looking for lively shops, bars, restaurants and entertainment options, whilst the vibrant centre of Mombasa is just 40km away, and offers a taste of authentic Kenyan life in its colourful Old Town, full of markets and bazaars with distinct Arab and Indian influences. Many visitors to Galu Beach make the most of their exotic location and combine a stay at the beach with a memorable safari in one of the famous nature reserves close by.
