Diani Sea Resort, Kenya

The cool white hotel interior, with its high ceilings and understated colonial style, is a wonderfully relaxing retreat from year-round tropical sunshine. Bright spacious rooms have efficient air-conditioning and an excellent shower. Daytime activities include everything from archery and pool aerobics to scuba diving and windsurfing lessons. You can relax with a hotel massage or head off to a superb 18 hole golf course.
