Dusk at the LalaGalu pool, guests at the edge as the lights come on

Sunset Socials · Fridays and Saturdays

Do less. Dance a little.

The sun goes down, the pool fills up. A DJ under the umbrellas, sundowners at the Boat Bar, and the whole of Galu Beach dropping by. Hotel guests are already on the list.

How it works

Same beach. A different beat.

When
Fridays and Saturdays from late afternoon. The DJ starts as the light turns and plays until it ends. Check @discover.lala for this weekend's line-up; days and hours can shift with the season.
Where
The pool deck and the Boat Bar at LalaGalu, Galu Beach. Sand at your back, sea in front.
Who
Hotel guests, neighbours, Diani regulars, the odd kitesurfer still in a harness. No cover, no list; just turn up.
What to drink
Sundowners from the Boat Bar: dawa, coconut and lime, cold beer, a short wine list. Sunnyside Up keeps the kitchen open.
Staying over
Cabins are a one-minute walk from the pool, which is the whole point. See the cabins.

Beyond the weekend

Art on the walls, music in the air.

Sunnyside Up doubles as a gallery. Artists from Nairobi and further afield have shown work here since we opened, from miniature sculpture to augmented-reality yoga. Private events on the deck are possible too; write to us with dates and we'll tell you what's possible.
