Sustainable Solar plant at Almanara

Almanara is deeply committed to protecting the beautiful natural environment that surrounds us here in Diani Beach. From the architecture to daily operations, every detail reflects our dedication to sustainable luxury and responsible tourism.

Recognised for our ongoing efforts, Almanara proudly holds a Silver Eco-Rating from Eco Tourism Kenya, awarded for our responsible energy use, waste management, and community partnerships. This distinction places us among the leading eco-conscious properties on Kenya’s coast.

Harnessing Solar Energy

Kenya’s year-round sunshine provides the perfect opportunity to reduce our carbon footprint. Solar panels across the property supply a significant portion of Almanara’s power needs, ensuring guests enjoy modern comforts with minimal environmental impact.

Water Conservation and Recycling

Water is one of the coast’s most precious resources. Almanara operates a reverse osmosis plant that filters and purifies water drawn from our borehole. The filtered water is used throughout the property, with all the grey water being reused to irrigate our gardens — ensuring nothing goes to waste.

Plastic-Free Commitment

Long before it became a global movement, Almanara adopted a plastic-free policy. We used glass bottles for all of our drinks – from water to wine to beer – with the empty bottles either being returned to the supplier to be reused, or recycled by our waste management partner, further reducing our footprint and protecting our marine environment.

Waste Management and Community Partnerships

All waste at Almanara is carefully separated before being collected by a responsible waste management partner. We also support local clean-up initiatives and awareness programmes to help preserve Diani’s pristine coastline for future generations.

From Garden to Table

Our on-site vegetable garden supplies fresh produce to the kitchen daily, reducing food miles and supporting a sustainable dining model. Seasonal crops, herbs, and tropical fruits inspire our chefs to create dishes that celebrate the natural abundance of Kenya’s coast.

Responsible Luxury

Sustainability at Almanara isn’t just a policy — it’s a philosophy. By combining thoughtful design, renewable energy, and community collaboration, we strive to show that true luxury can exist in harmony with nature.
