“Peacfull, clean and friendly place to stay”

Lovely peacful place surrounded by nature and a small, clean swimming pool. Great local tips from the host and helpful and friendly people working there. Exellent cleanliness throughout and especially the bathroom.

Nice quite place. Staff are very helpful. We had a lovely stay at the Yoga Barn

“Awesome experience.”

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Incredible Experience at Yoga Barn Diane Yoga Barn Diane is truly a gem. From the moment you walk in, the space feels welcoming, calming, and beautifully designed. The atmosphere alone makes you want to slow down, breathe, and fully relax. The classes are outstanding — well structured, accessible for all levels, and deeply restorative. But what really made the experience exceptional was Katherine. She is an absolutely phenomenal instructor. Her energy, warmth, and clear guidance create a perfect balance of challenge and comfort. You can tell she genuinely cares about every student in the room. Katherine has that rare ability to make you feel both grounded and inspired. I left feeling physically refreshed, mentally clear, and genuinely happier. If you're anywhere near Diane, Yoga Barn is an absolute must-visit. And if you have the chance to take a class with Katherine — do not miss it. Highly, highly recommended.

We loved Diani Yoga Barn so much that we ended up extending our stay. The place is beautiful, clean and so peaceful. Just a 15 minutes walk to the beach. We ate a few times at Diani Yoga Barn and it was so good, really recommend to join a yoga class as well. Fikiri and Katherine were really nice and helpful!!

The ambiance is lovely and calm. The location is also perfect, quietly hidden among the trees.

Nice property,quiet,clean....

Cozy and very charming place, surrounded by green and beautiful baobab trees. Very friendly staff and owner. My room was very spacious and beautiful with avieuw The food was very healthy and tasty. I have a digestive problem and they even took it into account and tried to help me. So grateful for the days I spent in this place.

It is a special place to settle down and take a breath. Calm, quiet, comfortable. With few rooms available, it feels like being welcomed in the owners' home, who is present and works hard to make your stay enjoyable (as well as every member of the team). Good location, away from tourist areas, but still close to the beach (less than 15-min walk).

“Highly recommended”

Very cozy, clean and good vibes place. We had breakfast and other meals there and everything was super delicious. All staff members were very nice, friendly and helpful. Special shout out to Fikiri for even getting us comfortable and budget friendly transportation to Mombasa and Malindi. We would absolutely stay there again!

“If you just need to unwind, come stay!”

A real gem

“AVOID AVOID AVOID. IM FROM THE UK, WE HAVE STANDARDS! AVOID AVOID AVOID”

Oh, I were to start... Ok. The host Katherine/Catherine was really down to earth... OR SO I THOUGHT... The host. is a lonely old eastern European woman who literally does not stop talking at you the second you arrive. I arrived at the property after a long day of travelling on the road from the capital Nairobi. Over 550 kilometres in the heat of the day. (She could have considered that)... I introduced myself and immediately explained that I was extremely tired and just needed to rest. I was then told to sit and that things would be explained to me, and that's when I realised I had booked the wrong place to stay... It felt like I was checking into boot camp. I felt like I was receiving a lecture as a child. While the woman was welcoming, she started to try to convert me to her way of life from the get-go. She demands that you only take showers at either 12/1/2 or 3 pm after 3 pm is FORBIDDEN as she turns off the hotwater. She tells you the beach is 5 mins walks. But be very, very prepared for a 20 mins walk on dangerous paths filled with thugs waiting to rob you, or at very least, extrot you. The swimming pool is not maintained and full of bugs and bits of tree bark. The host also DEMANDS that you take part in her yoga, sound baths, and meditation classes, and demands u eat what she wants u to eat. DO NOT TAKE ALCOHOL HERE. She will judge your lifestyle if you're a MEAT EATER, you should avoid this place. you will be openly judged. Be expected to take part in all her yoga classes or be made to feel guilty if you respectfully. She said it was her husbands place, and after the experience i had. I truly pity him and her. The place and rooms are truly filthy dirty, and it's basically a cemented wall and some sticks attached to the structure. With some straww for the roof. It's very unstable when the wind blows. I considered it a HEALTH AND SAFETY HAZZARD.

“Try it Out! Mali Safi!”

Great Experience! Good job Fikiri and Team.

“Very kind and helpful staff. Overall great experience for some relaxing days in Diani.”

Very nice people and flexible check-in and check-out. You can get transportation which you need to go to the beach, restaurants etc. Delicious breakfast :-)

The feel of peace Katherine and the rest of the staff was fenomenal Yoga classes and the food The whole atmosfere was amazing

“The perfect place for solo travelers wanting a tranquil and nurturing stay”

This place is absolutely amazing - the hosts, the staff, the food, the environment and the room! As a solo traveler it felt like such a safe and nurturing place where I felt so well taken care of. The place is located walking distance to the beach but if you want to go somewhere else they can arrange safe transportation for you for a great price! The stay is located at such a peaceful spot away from all the hustle among all the trees! All the food is cooked in the house and it’s really delicious. The rooms and the house is so clean with a calm ambiance! I did yoga with Kathrine and it was amazing, and I already wish to come back and stay for longer!!

“A near perfect experience, off the main Diani tracks, peaceful, beautiful, relaxing ... splendid!!”

After an overpriced shuttle from Mombasa train station (I don't recall really, but beyond 5.000 KES, you can get it for 2.000 KES negotiating a bit) we arrived at this most beautiful and remote place in the middle of the night, being warmly welcomed by one of the two main hosts, Fikiri. We spent 7 nights at this most peaceful resort, and I can only state it was worth every minute. Although my girlfriend did not like the room, which is open to the ceiling and therefore privacy is not really given at least sound-wise, we were lucky as the neighbors left and we had the place (with as I believe 4 rooms) for ourselves. So to get some intimacy was easier the next days :-) The hosts will do whatever you ask them for. The ayurvedic breakfast was wonderful, as were the yoga sessions we ran on the spacious top floor (we did however not partake in the lessons as this costs extra). WiFi was very shaky, but we did not care as the beach (15 min walk) does not let you care about getting online. It is one of the most amazing spots on this earth for sure (and I have visited 65+ countries...) and the sandbank a km offshore that can be reached by local boat carriers (don't pay more than 1.500 KES, 2.000 KES if you need snorkeling gear) will stick in your brain FOREVER!' I can also warmly recommend Safari Beach where we spent our days and some dinners, 500 KES per person entry (plus 300 KES for a sun lounger) that are balanced out with your bill later. A really peaceful spot, and the (very few) beach boys that populate the beach here will not disturb. The guards will take care of your belongings so you can simply relax. 200 KES by TukTuk from the yoga barn, or 20 minutes by foot. The next shopping center with nice restaurants is in 45 minutes walking or 300 KES TukTuk distance (30 minutes if you have long legs like myself), there's a money changer too. The (small) pool is perfect.

“A real haven of peace. I would definitely recommend Diani Yoga Barn to everyone looking for a holiday of rest and relaxa”

Peaceful atmosphere. Caring and friendly staff. Catherine the hostess was attentive and knowledgable and arranged for transportation to shopping centres, the beach, and restaurants. The sabji breakfast was delicious. Our rooms were spacious and cool. The pool was perfect.

“Good”

The relaxing vibe of the place. It’s good if you’re looking to unwind and enjoy nature. The pool is warm. There are also yoga classes but I didn’t get to participate.

Enjoyed the yoga session

“A great place to relax”

It is a very peaceful and pleasant place. Good energy. I enjoyed the yoga, the chakra Meditationen and the delicious food. And of course the swim in the see, just about 10 minutes walk. Thank you Katerine for the beautiful place you created.
