"So, at the end of another gorgeous day of sunbeams, all you will have left to do is to stretch out lazily over your balcony of wooden decking and gaze over far horizons."

The Cove, Kenya 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.
