Getting to Diani Beach from Mombasa Airport
Diani Beach is 35 km south of Mombasa Airport, on the other side of the Mombasa channel. Your transfer crosses via the Likoni Floating Bridge — a quick crossing that adds around 5 minutes. The total journey takes 45–55 minutes in normal traffic; peak-hour Likoni crossings can occasionally add 10–15 minutes.
About Pinewood Beach Resort
Pinewood Beach Resort is a small, eco-conscious property built within a coastal forest clearing above Diani Beach. The accommodation is in individual timber chalets and cottages set among indigenous trees, offering a quiet and natural atmosphere very different from Diani’s larger all-inclusive resorts.
The property is a base for serious divers and snorkellers — the house reef is accessible directly from the beach and the resident PADI instructors offer courses for all levels. Bird life in the surrounding coastal forest is exceptional, with species including the Amani sunbird and Fischer’s turaco regularly spotted.
A saloon or SUV suits this transfer well — the property caters to smaller groups and independent travellers. The 50-minute journey from MBA follows the south coast road after the Likoni crossing.
What to Do Near Diani Beach
From Diani you can arrange snorkelling trips to the Kisite-Mpunguti Marine Park, sunset dhow cruises along the coast, kite surfing lessons on the wide beach, skydiving with Diani Skydivers, and quad biking through the coastal forest. The beach itself stretches 17 km of white sand — one of the finest stretches of coastline in East Africa.
