On the beach.A stay at this Galu Beach apartment places you steps from Colobus Conservation and within a 5-minute walk of Galu Kinondo Beach. Also, Diani Beach is within 2 miles (3 km) and BoraBora Wildlife Park is within 6 miles (10 km).
For the laid-back beachcomber who counts tides more than time.
Steps from the beach but tucked into the forest canopy, this is your barefoot luxury basecamp. Great for a small family or duo that wants to wake up to ocean breezes and cook fresh meals in a quiet, independent space. Ideal for early-morning shell hunters, paddleboarders, or anyone who appreciates a constant ocean soundtrack and slow living—without the need for a pool.

Fantastic first impression of the property as you drive through the gate down the tree-lined lane, but it really gets good as you step into the apartment and turn toward the beach to see a panoramic view of the beach and water through wall-to-wall sliding windows. Luxury feel on the inside and arguably one the best private residence locations in the Gulu Kinondo/Diani Beach area. The apartments sit closer to the beach than any private residence we saw, and is situated at the north end of Gulu Beach, almost as close as you can get to the more conjested Diana Beach without being there. On-site staff were very gracious, accommodating all our needs with friendly smiles. In terms of the area, we loved walking the beach but the one-to-one marketing of local goods and services can get tiresome, especially on Diani Beach, but you can usually reclaim your privacy by simply being direct, polite, and respectful.
Don't hesitate to book if this place is available.
