Why Diani Beach should be your next coliving destination
Diani Beach feels like a lazy postcard. White sand, swaying palms, and warm water. The Swahili coast vibe is relaxed and friendly. It gets hot and humid. Then the short rains come and everything smells green. Most travellers enjoy the slow pace and fresh seafood stalls by the water.
For digital nomads it works well. Cost of living is easy on the wallet for Westerners but not dirt cheap. Internet is decent. Many lodges and cafes have fibre or solid 4G. Speeds can wobble at peak times or in storms. I saw a sunset volleyball game that drew locals and visitors. That felt like the town community. For some, that will be amazing.
Things to do when you need a break are endless. Kitesurfing, snorkeling, dhow trips, or a day in the Shimba Hills. Coworking spaces are few. But you can find friendly cafes and beach bars where people plug in and chat. Arguably not the best for nonstop nightlife. But for a chilled work-beach rhythm it is hard to beat.
