Nestled
in its own private cove among baobab trees lining
the beach, lies The Cove Retreat. The
Cove Retreat ensures this holiday brings you as
close to nature and paradise as you will ever get. Situated 12km south of the bustling, busy beach of Diani, the
Cove offers exclusivity, pampered service, and the peace and
quiet of a magical location away from hectic and harried lifestyles.
Here there is no noise pollution. The only sound you
will hear is the wishwash of the tide, the distant call of
a fish eagle, and the occasional leaf rustle of a Colobus monkey
roaming the baobabs trees on a family outing. Add to this to
the startling colour of a vivid green forest beneath the etched
blue of a tropical sky, the glazed white beach
and aquamarine slip of ocean before the crests of waves
on the coral reef. This is The Cove experience, a new life,
a truly magical holiday experience. There are three choices
of accommodations in this luxuriant environment. The
Cove Retreat Treehouses, the Villas comprising of Suites and
Executive rooms. :: The Cove
