Yes! We welcome digital nomads and remote workers.

Work desks, outdoor patio seating with power outlets, and power backup systems are provided.

Kenya is a global leader in mobile money. Upon arrival, purchase a local Safaricom SIM or eSIM with your passport. You can load cash onto M-Pesa or top up directly from foreign debit/credit cards using apps like Wise or Remitly. Major supermarkets (Naivas) and ATMs (KCB, NCBA, Absa) accept Visa and Mastercard.

Do not drink tap water in Diani. Tap water is non-potable and intended for showering and washing. Use bottled mineral water for drinking and brushing teeth (available at Naivas for <$1 USD per 5L jug). For medical peace of mind, Diani Beach Hospital is a top international-standard private hospital with a 24/7 ER on Beach Road.

Local beach operators selling tours or wood carvings are friendly and harmless, but persistent. The best response is a warm smile paired with Swahili phrases: "Asante, hapana" (Thank you, no) or "Niko sawa" (I'm all set). Once communicated firmly and respectfully, they will politely wish you a pleasant day.

We accommodate groups from 10 up to 150+ guests. At Beakim Apartments, groups booking 10+ units can take over an entire 10-unit block exclusively—giving your school, church, or corporate team private hallways, exclusive lawn access, and zero friction with third-party guests. Combined with Beakim Darad (2 resort pools), we tailor compound block takeovers to your exact group size.

We offer 3 flexible catering models:

1. Self-Catering: Prepare meals in fully equipped unit kitchens (Naivas supermarket next door for bulk groceries).

2. Resident Chef Services: Hire resident chefs for labor-only prep (saving 40-50% vs hotel buffets) or full-board catering.

3. Poolside Dining & Nyama Choma: Set up long buffet lines and evening Nyama Choma (BBQ) events on poolside lawns at Beakim Darad or Beakim Apartments.
