Location
On the south coast, seven minutes from the runway.
Sea La Vie sits on Galu Beach, the southern stretch of Diani — a quiet, broad arc of white sand at the lower end of Kenya's south coast. Ukunda Airstrip (UKA) is a seven-minute drive away; Moi International, Mombasa (MBA), is forty-five.

Our Story
Set moments from the Indian Ocean.
Sea La Vie was created as a quiet coastal retreat designed around privacy, space, and a slower rhythm of living. Hidden within Diani's lush coastline, the residences bring together contemporary coastal design with the textures, materials, and craftsmanship of the Swahili coast — lime-washed walls, hand-carved details, natural timber, soft linen.
Every element has been intentionally considered to create an experience that feels calm, discreet, and deeply connected to place. More than a place to stay, Sea La Vie is designed to feel private, effortless, and removed from the pace of everyday life.
