Located right on the white sands of Diani Beach, Sails Beach Bar & Restaurant is the signature dining experience at Almanara. Known for its striking steel and canvas architecture that mirrors the sails of a dhow, Sails blends modern coastal elegance with the laid-back charm of the Kenyan coast.

A Coastal Culinary Journey

The menu celebrates fresh, locally sourced ingredients — with an emphasis on seafood caught daily from the Indian Ocean. Each dish is prepared by Head Chef Anthony Huth, whose passion for creativity and sustainability inspires every menu. Chef Anthony designs each season’s dishes around what’s available locally — from sustainably caught fish and shellfish to herbs and vegetables grown in Almanara’s own organic garden.

Guests can often see the day’s catch being brought in from our private fishing boat, with some of it smoked in-house to create Sails’ signature flavours. His menus highlight Kenya’s incredible natural produce while introducing global influences that reflect a modern coastal identity.

Dining with a View

Guests dine beneath soaring white sails that open onto panoramic views of the beach and ocean beyond. Whether you’re enjoying a relaxed beachfront lunch, a romantic dinner under the stars, or a cocktail at sunset, Sails offers a truly unforgettable setting.

Signature Drinks & Atmosphere

The bar serves a curated selection of wines, spirits, and cocktails — including refreshing classics infused with local fruits and herbs. Our team of mixologists ensures each drink complements the flavours of the food and the rhythms of the ocean.

Celebrations & Private Events

Sails is also available for private events, from intimate dinners to weddings and celebrations. The beachfront setting and exceptional service make it one of the most iconic dining destinations on Kenya’s coast.

A Taste of Diani’s Best

Dining at Sails isn’t just a meal — it’s an experience that combines fine food, ocean views, and the warm hospitality of the Kenyan coast.
