The Sands at Nomad is an excellent hotel, with great food, friendly and efficient staff and a fantastic management team. We were married at the hotel, staying 4 nights at the Sands, then away for a safari, then back to the Sands. This is a long review, so I’ve put the wedding bit at the end so you can ignore... more

My wife and I stayed at the Sands at Nomad a couple of weeks ago. The great thing about this place is the feeling that you're in your own private beach. It's the best. The ocean views are absolutely phenomenal; walking into the hotel and the architecture isn't imposing as it almost feels carved out of the natural environment. We... more

My husband and 2 sons 16 and 22 have just returned from the most lovely stay at Nomads on Diani Beach. We had a beautiful beach cottage with the loveliest views over the Indian Ocean.

Scratched dirty glass in the windows. Insects in the bath and sink. Air conditioning either hanging off the wall or not working properly. Restaurant toilets too filthy... more

We booked directly with Sands having looked at their website as we were looking for a boutique hotel and it was just like their website, no different, the views, rooms and Susan handled all my enquires, she was very professional all through. Richard and Claudia are perfect hosts, we felt we knew them personally and a hearty thanks to Claudia... more

We have spent nearly 6 months looking for a beach wedding location around the World & one day we came across Sands @ Nomad hotel on Diani beach in Kenya.
