So happy to see this great new beach bar in Diani thriving. New hotspot. Took a long time after forty thieves disappeared. Finally a new classy cool good-vibes beach bar. With lots of live music!

Very attentive service. Excellent food! You must try the steak! Reasonable prices considering the quality of the food. We will definitely be back!
- Christian M.Google review · 24 Dec 2025
It's a very beautiful and relaxing place with very attentive and well trained staff (and a lot of them). The one or two star reviews are toxic and unwarranted (the card system is perhaps a bad idea but that doesn't merit putting a beautiful place down like that). I was able to pay by credit card. The food is excellent and worth the price, truly among the best I had in Diani beach. The beach is beautiful and the sun beds are 1500 per day. The only criticism I would have is about the music, could be a bit more relaxed, lounge, or at least Afro beat, Swahili or Nigerian, instead of US rap....

... This new Diani Beach club is your ultimate destination for good vibes, great drinks, amazing food — and unforgettable moments, all served with a side of stunning ocean views. ... The first thing I look for in a coastal bar is the greeting — that moment when you go from being a stranger in a strange place to a welcomed guest, waiting for a drink. Collins nailed it today with warmth and charm. Once upon a time, Diani’s — and the world’s — most famous beach bar, Forty Thieves, was the celebrated oasis by the sea. After its closure, there was a huge gap in the Diani community. As Claudia put it: “After the closure of Forty Thieves — a beach bar that was truly home for all of us — there’s been a rare gap in Diani. So it feels only natural to create something fresh for the community and our visitors who’ve been waiting for this for a long time.” And that’s exactly what she and her husband, Richard, have done. Often hailed as the mother and father of modern Diani Beach hospitality, they’ve trained a generation of the coast’s best restaurant and bar staff while leading Nomads Beach Bar for over 14 years.Now, an iconic old building — the former Aga Khan Hall in the heart of central Diani — is being reborn under their vision as The 41 Beach Club. "The name The 41 follows naturally after Forty Thieves — a place that can never be copied. It’s our tribute to that unforgettable era, but with a fresh new twist: great vibes, creative cocktails, and a delicious menu. Expect South African barbecue, wood-fired pizzas, fresh seafood, and the first Koroga place in Diani.” — Claudia Name: @the41beachclub Location: Diani Beach – After Ali Barbour’s Cave Restaurant, before Diani Sea Lodge Gluten-Free Options: Yes 100% Vegan: No Wheelchair Friendly: Yes Dog Friendly: Yes Sustainability: Fully powered by solar energy . #TheNomadicRasta #DianiEats #DianiBars #DianiBeachBars #The41BeachClub #CoastalEats #BeachsideDining #WholesomeDining #InclusiveByDesign #Diani #DianiBeach #dianibeachkenya
