Private Villa in Diani Beach for 10–12 Guests
Planning a holiday with family or friends? Zavani offers six bedrooms across two three-bedroom units, accommodating up to 12 guests in Diani Beach. Chef services and daily housekeeping are included, with the beach approximately 300 metres away.
Up to 12 guests · 6 bedrooms · Private pool
One villa. Everyone together.
Finding Diani Beach accommodation for 10 or 12 people usually means choosing between several separate hotel rooms and one shared home. A private villa keeps the whole group under one roof: breakfast together, afternoons by the same pool, evenings on the same terrace. Zavani sleeps up to 12 guests in six bedrooms — three in the main house and three smaller bedrooms in the guest cottage — with chef services and daily housekeeping included. It is a private holiday home, roughly 300 metres from the beach, not a resort and not an event venue.

Make yourself at home
Why choose a private villa for 10–12 guests?
Shared accommodation changes the shape of a group holiday. Instead of coordinating across hotel corridors, everyone wakes up in the same place. Meals happen together without reservations, daily schedules stay flexible, and there is room for different rhythms — some guests at the pool, others reading in the shade, children napping while the adults talk.
Privacy is the other half of it: your group has the property to itself, without sharing facilities with other travellers. A villa is not always cheaper than hotel rooms — that depends on dates, rates and how you compare — but for many groups the shared time is the point, not the saving.
The everyday details
Understanding Zavani's six-bedroom layout
Zavani's six bedrooms are arranged across two three-bedroom units: three bedrooms in the main house and three smaller bedrooms in the guest cottage, with five bathrooms in total. The six bedrooms are not all within one continuous building or floor, and six bedrooms do not mean a private room for each of 12 guests.
Because sleeping arrangements matter more at this group size, tell us who is travelling — adults, children and couples — and ask about the bedroom arrangements before booking. We will explain the layout honestly and help you decide whether it fits your group. Explore the rooms and facilities for a closer look.
Coastal living
Chef services and housekeeping for your group
Feeding 10 to 12 people is where a group holiday can quietly become work. At Zavani, chef services are included in the stay, and so is daily housekeeping — the cooking and the cleaning are taken care of, so the group can simply be together. Groceries and ingredients are paid for separately; the stay is not an all-inclusive meal package.
Discuss meal preferences, dietary requirements and shopping arrangements with us before arrival, and we will confirm what can be arranged in writing. Our villa with chef page explains the arrangement in more detail.
Ideal for different group types
Twelve guests can mean very different kinds of groups. The two-unit layout adapts to several of them.
Extended families
Grandparents, parents and children travelling together get shared meals and shared space without giving up separate bedrooms. Multigenerational holidays work best when nobody is coordinating across a hotel.
Groups of friends
Shared meals, coordinated plans and communal time are easier when everyone stays in one place. Plan beach days and excursions together, then come back to the same terrace.
Special occasions
Groups travelling together for a birthday or anniversary are welcome to celebrate together over dinner at the villa. Note that Zavani is accommodation, not an event venue: parties, events and outside visitors are not permitted.
Two or three families together
The two three-bedroom units can suit two or three families travelling together, giving each family its own bedrooms within one shared property. Ask us how the layout could work for your families before booking.
A private villa or multiple hotel rooms?
Neither option is universally better — it depends on what your group values. An honest comparison:
| Consideration | Private Villa | Multiple Hotel Rooms |
|---|---|---|
| Shared living areas | Often available | Varies |
| Meal arrangements | Property-dependent | Hotel-dependent |
| Group privacy | Often greater | Varies |
| Total cost | Depends on property and dates | Depends on room rates |
| Flexibility | Depends on house rules | Depends on hotel policies |

Diani Beach for larger groups
Diani works well for group holidays: a long beach for morning walks, restaurants that can seat a full table, and day trips — snorkelling, sandbank excursions, conservation visits — that are more fun shared. Relaxed days at the villa need no planning at all. Confirm group sizes, transport and activity requirements with operators before booking.

Before you travel

- Ask about bedroom and bed arrangements across the two units before booking.
- Confirm the property's capacity fits your group comfortably.
- Request the total accommodation price for your dates in writing.
- Clarify meal and grocery arrangements: chef services included, groceries separate.
- Arrange airport or station transfers for the whole group, including costs.
- Review the house rules: no parties, events or pets, and quiet hours after 22:00.
- Confirm deposit and cancellation terms before you commit.
