Leopard Beach Resort & Spa

Leopard Beach Resort & Spa occupies 28 acres of tropical gardens on Diani Beach, with the Indian Ocean at one edge and an indigenous forest at the other. With 198 rooms — from garden-level terraces to three private villas perched on coral outcrops overlooking the sea — it covers a wide range of budgets and travel styles. The resort holds a Travellife Gold sustainability certificate, and its Uzuri Spa has been voted a leading spa resort in Africa.

The Spa & Grounds

The Uzuri Spa — uzuri means 'goodness' in Swahili — is set within six acres of indigenous forest on the resort grounds. Five treatment rooms, including two for couples, offer TheraNaka massage therapies, Theravine anti-ageing facials, hydrotherapy, and body wraps that blend African products with European techniques. A sauna, steam bath, outdoor pool with integrated Jacuzzi, and yoga classes from beginner to advanced complete the wellness offering. The Afya Gym provides cardiovascular equipment for those who prefer a more active approach. Beyond the spa, the grounds include an 18-hole golf course and a full water sports facility on the beach.

Rooms & Dining

Rooms range from 60 Deluxe Terrace rooms with garden patios to 78 Superior Balcony rooms on upper floors with ocean views, nine Seaview Chui Class Cottages with private gardens and premium service, seven suites with Jacuzzis and living areas, and three exclusive seaview villas on coral outcrops. Chui Class — chui means leopard in Swahili — includes 24-hour room service, valet, and laundry. All rooms have air conditioning, rain showers, satellite TV, Wi-Fi, and mini-bars. Dining runs across five restaurants — Saffron for fine dining, Lemongrass for Asian flavours, Pizza and Pasta Tornati for wood-fired Italian, Pool Bistro for casual lunches, and Coco Mchana for outdoor dining — with four bars and three lounges including the Kalani Coffee Lounge.
