The Diani Reef Beach Resort and Spa is in the process of expanding their property by an additional 114 new rooms

The rooms will be contained in an all new wing of the 40 acre property and will be unveiled just in time for the peak holiday season in December this year.

The addition of these 114 rooms will bring the total room count of Diani Reef to an impressive 257 rooms, making it the single largest five star hotel by room inventory in the South Coast.

According to Bobby Kamani, the Managing Director, Diani Reef Beach Resort and Spa, the investment is strategic to accommodate the high numbers expected from both the international and domestic tourists.

“We are very excited as this expansion plan goes a long way in ensuring that we are able to accommodate the high numbers of tourists expected during this festive season" said Kamani

According to the MD all the raw materials for the expansion of the new rooms as well as for the renovation of the existing rooms have been locally procured.

Mr. Kamani went on to state that the Hotel had invested heavily during the low season in June and July this year to renovate its existing 143 rooms in preparation for the high season.

This expansion will also help boost the conferencing business for the Hotel, as it will be able to accommodate more delegates.

Mr. Kamani explained, “We have made substantial investments in our conferencing facility which can accommodate up to 1000 delegates. As a result of our room expansion plan, we will now be able to accommodate even more delegates.”

Diani Reef has also intensified its partnerships with airlines and the SGR to provide holiday packages at affordable rates to the domestic tourists.

In July, the Hotel partnered with Silverstone Air to allow the domestic traveler to save up to 30 percent on the normal flight fare and accommodation rate.

This would include a 2 nights’ stay on half-board basis, return flights from Nairobi’s Wilson Airport to Ukunda’s Diani Airport, return airport transfers, as well as a 15 percent discount on beverages and spa treatments. 

This package will end in December this year.

The addition of these 114 rooms further endorses Diani Reef’s confidence in Diani as a destination, with its beaches being named one of the best in the world and Africa’s leading beach destination.

President Uhuru Kenyatta has invited Barbadian investors to set shop in Kenya saying his administration has created an enabling environment for both foreign and local businesses to thrive.

President Kenyatta said the Kenyan government has put in place mechanisms such as protection of investment legislation and other instruments that facilitate an enabling business environment.

The Head of State added that Kenya is a signatory to a number of treaties in the region that make it a gateway not only to the East African market but also to the rest of Africa.

“Kenya is an entry point into the African market and if your businesses come to Kenya, they will get access to an African population of 1.2 billion,” President Kenyatta assured the Barbadian business community.

“Kenya is a member of the East African Community, Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa (COMESA) and has ratified the African Continental Free Trade Area (ACFTA),” he added.

The President spoke in Bridgetown, Barbados during a business forum that brought together Kenyan and Barbadian investors to discuss business opportunities that exist in the two countries.

President Kenyatta said Kenya and Barbados may be thousands of miles apart but there are existing opportunities that can shorten that distance.

“Kenya is open for business. Kenya is ready for business. We want to partner with you and we believe that our partnership will be mutually beneficial,” President Kenyatta told the investors.

He pointed out that Kenya was ranked position 61 out of 190 countries by the World Bank Ease of Doing Business Report 2019.

“It is against this backdrop that Kenya is the preferred destination for investment in the Eastern and Central Africa region and therefore welcomes Barbadian investors,” the President said.

The Kenyan leader singled out the tourism sector, mobile money, renewable energy, blue economy and affordable housing as emerging areas that present lucrative opportunities for foreign investment.

“When it comes to fintech, we would want to see how we can partner to help you develop your product through mobile money platforms not just for Barbados but for the entire CARICOM region,” the President said.

The President advised Kenyan investors not to look at Barbados as a single country but an entry point into the wider Caribbean Community (CARICOM) market.

“We should see this region as the new frontier, as the real true South partner that we can work together with and of whom we share a very similar outlook of the future,” he said.

President Kenyatta said the political will at the top could only be translated into prosperity for Kenya and Barbados if the private sector plays its role effectively as the true front runners of the process.

Prime Minister Mia Amor Mottley said the Africa, Caribbean and Pacific (ACP) countries should work to remove the obstacles that hinder trade between them by involving their respective private sectors.

“Traditionally, Barbadians do not invest in Africa in tourism. Traditional Africans do not invest in Caribbean in tourism. There is absolutely no reason for that not to happen,” she said.

The PM emphasized that private sector investment in the two countries should not be a preserve of big companies saying small and medium sized enterprises should also be given the platform to participate.
