Asha Cottage, Socially Responsible Eco-tourism, Family-run Boutique Hotel in Diani Beach, Mombasa, Kenya

The beach is one of Asha Cottage's main natural attractions. White sands and crystal clear water year round. The Ledge is Asha Cottage's beach front sand terrace where guests can have meals, drinks and cocktails, take sun, read or simply watch the waves and people as they stroll by.

We have a small local boat (ngalawa) with which guests can go snorkelling or simply meander on the reef (exposed at low tide only) which is about 1.5 kms from the high tide mark. Some snorkelling equipment is available for rent or on sale in the Asha Boutique. Other water sports and deep-sea fishing are also easily available through neighbouring hotels and diving clubs (kitesurfing, diving, canoeing, etc).

Asha Cottage has a beautiful fresh water swimming pool that is very close to the beach, but remains private and discreet. In full view of all rooms and designed around 50 to 70-year old coconut palm trees, the pool is one of the centre-pieces of Asha Cottage. Chlorine and pH are controlled daily.

Asha Cottage has a separate air conditioned (one of the few in Diani Beach) Snooker Room equipped with a half-size snooker table, a lovely card table for bridge and card games, chess or back gammon and a dart board. It has a lovely outside deck overlooking the ocean. With a lovely bookshelf and a selection of books for guests to enjoy (in English and Italian) the Snooker Room is also a lovely place to sit and enjoy the before or after dinner hours in a relaxed company. All drinks and cocktails are served from this bar which also services The Ledge, right on the sea front, where cocktails and, wind permitting, lunch or dinner can be served under the palm trees with the ocean lapping up against the sea wall.
