Notes from Galu Beach01 / Slow mornings

LalaGalu · Diani, Kenya

Nowhere
else to be.

A day off for the always on.

A timber cabin, a minute from the sand.
And a day that belongs entirely to you.

Stay curious.
Stay a little longer.

Chapter02

Let breakfast take its time

Sunny by name.
Sunny by nature.

Sunnyside Up, our beachfront restaurant and bar.
Good food. Good mood.

Open on three sides to the beach, with a welcome as wide as the view. Come for breakfast, stay for seafood or pasta, wander back for cocktails and dinner.

Hotel guests and the public, all welcome. There’s no secret handshake.

Chapter03

Leave a little room for possibility

Follow the breeze.
Or your own nose.

A plan if you want one.
A pool if you don’t.

For the sea-curious

A different kind of blue.

Kitesurf right off the beach, or take a dhow sailing trip and let someone else set the pace.

For the wanderers

Take a little detour.

Cycle in Kaya Kinondo forest. Ride a camel or horse along the beach. Find your new party trick in a cocktail class.
