The Kenyan Diani beach made it to the top list of best beaches in the world. This is after some reviews from other agencies, media outlets, and customer recommendations. However, Big 7 ranked the high-end coastal beach alongside 5 other beaches from the continent. 

According to the Big 7, they released the list in readiness for increased tourism activities worldwide as summer holidays in European countries are already underway. 

“With summer vacations just a hop and a skip away, we’ve all got one thing on our minds – the beach. So, for some seriously wanderlusty reading, we’ve released our annual 50 Best Beaches in the World rankings using aggregated stores from previous media results, official Blue Flag locations, and contributions from the Big 7.

“One of the most beautiful destinations in Kenya, Diani Beach is a private resort located on the south coast of Mombasa,” read the statement in part.

Consequently, this is not the first time the coastal beach has won global awards. It came among the best in the world during the Travellers’ Choice Awards in 2020.
