Saunas & cold plunges in Diani

Salt takes the small parts first

Fixings, hinges, latches and glazing hardware fail long before anything structural. A4 stainless throughout, sealed end grain before assembly, deeper drained cavities and sealed plant enclosures.

An open chiller on this beach is a three-year item. In a filtered enclosure it lasts as long as one in Nairobi.

Coral rag and makuti

Both are local, both suit a wellness deck, and both need proper detailing: makuti against uplift, coral rag on a waterproof substrate in any wet room. A plunge basin cut into coral rag looks like it grew out of the plot, because it did.

Heat means the chiller works

Unlike Nairobi, there is no cool night here. A plunge in Diani needs a chiller sized up from the highland figure and shaded properly, and the lid is not optional.
