We are Sea La Vie Residences ("Sea La Vie", "we", "us"), a private hospitality estate operating on Galu Beach, Diani. This policy explains how we handle personal information collected through our website, reservations, and on-property.
When you contact us, make a reservation, or stay with us, we may collect:
We do not sell your data, share it with third-party advertisers, or use it to retarget you. Ever.
Your information is accessed only by:
Reservation and financial records are kept for seven years, as required by Kenyan tax law. Marketing-list subscribers can unsubscribe at any time, after which the record is deleted within thirty days. Form messages are kept for two years from the last interaction.
Under the Kenya Data Protection Act 2019 (and the GDPR for European residents), you have the right to:
To exercise any of these rights, write to {CONTACT.email}. We will respond within thirty days.
Our website is served over HTTPS. Reservation data is stored on Hostinger's encrypted hosting in Europe. Payment information is never stored on our servers. We review our security practices annually.
Sea La Vie is a family-friendly property, but our website is not directed at children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under thirteen.
If we materially change how we handle personal data, we will update this page and post the new date below. The current version applies to all data collected from that date forward.
When you confirm a reservation, you enter a contract with Sea La Vie Residences Ltd., a company incorporated in Kenya, with its registered address at Galu Beach Road, Ukunda 80400, Kwale County. These terms govern the booking, your stay, and any experiences arranged through us.
Date changes are accommodated where possible and at no charge if requested more than 60 days before arrival, subject to availability. Travel insurance covering trip cancellation, medical evacuation and personal effects is strongly recommended.
Experiences listed on our website (skydiving, kitesurfing, dhow trips, restaurants and so on) are operated by independent third parties. Sea La Vie arranges these as a concierge service and is not liable for the conduct, safety practices or performance of those operators. All such experiences are taken at the guest's own risk.
To the maximum extent permitted by Kenyan law, Sea La Vie's liability for any loss arising from your stay is limited to the amount paid for the reservation. We are not liable for indirect or consequential losses, or for events beyond our reasonable control (force majeure — including weather, civil unrest, government action, or pandemic).
Nothing in these terms excludes liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, or for fraud.
If your stay cannot proceed because of force majeure, we will offer a credit valid for twenty-four months or, where required by law, a refund proportional to the unused portion of the stay.
These terms are governed by Kenyan law. Any dispute will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Kenya. We will always try to resolve concerns amicably first — please write to {CONTACT.email}.
