Experience Malindi

Where the conversation meets the coast.

There is something different about having important conversations in a place that invites you to slow down, connect and see things from another perspective.

Malindi brings together a rich coastal heritage, beautiful beaches, vibrant culture and a strong connection to the Indian Ocean.

Beyond the conference, delegates can experience the character of Kilifi County, discover its history and culture, and create connections in a setting that extends well beyond the meeting room.

Malindi is more than the destination. It is part of the experience.

Diamonds Malindi

Set along the Malindi coastline, Diamonds Malindi provides the backdrop for five days of conversations, learning, networking and shared experiences.
