This exclusive retreat is away from the hustle of so many of the coast's crowded and tourist-intensive beaches, and yet it is only a 10-minute drive south to Diani Beach with all of its restaurants, shopping, banks, hotels, medical facilities, golf, diving and fishing activities, as well as the Ukunda Airstrip from where one can access all of Kenya's major game parks. The Shimba Hills Game Reserve is less than an hour's drive to the west, and Shimoni, the Kisite Marine Park, Wasini Island and Pemba Channel big game fishing are just an hour to the south.

Self-catering is made easy with fruit and vegetable stands nearby and with Tiwi's local fishing fleet just down the beach. Fishermen bring their daily catch of snapper, kingfish, calamari and octopus to the kitchen door and can also take orders for next day delivery of fresh crab, shrimp and lobster.
