THE SULTANSAKA HOUSE IS THE PERFECT PLACE TO ESCAPE THE DAY-TO-DAY STRESS AND TO TAKE A TIME-OFF FOR BODY AND MIND - THE OWNERS TRULY CREATED A WELL-BEING OASIS IN WHICH THEIR GUESTS FEEL LIKE VISITING FRIENDS. THE HOUSE IS IMPRESSIVE WITH ITS UNCOMPLICATED, CASUAL CHARACTER, THE MIXTURE OF EUROPEAN AND AFRICAN STYLE ELEMENTS, AND THE LARGE WINDOW AREAS THAT MAKE THE LARGE ROOMS WONDERFULLY FLOODED WITH LIGHT. BOTH FROM THE OUTSIDE AND INSIDE, SULTANSAKA GIVES A FEELING OF CALM - A FEELING THAT THE VISITOR CAN ALSO OVER THE VIEW OVER THE GORGEOUS GARDEN AND THE CLEAR WATER OF THE POOL. IN THE CENTER OF THE HOUSE IS THE LARGE LIVING ROOM WITH THE OPEN KITCHEN, SUNSET, AND THE DINING AREA. THE BATHROOMS ARE ENSUITE TO THE AIRCONDITIONED BEDROOMS- IDEAL RETRACES, PLACES OF RELAXATION.
FROM THE ROOF TERRACE YOU HAVE A MAGNIFICENT VIEW OF THE ENTIRE SURROUNDING AREA. HOW PERFECTLY SULTANSAKA FITS INTO THE LANDSCAPE AND THE SYMBIOSIS IT ENTERS WITH THE NEARBY SEA, IT IS CLEAR. THE EMBEDDING OF THE HOUSE IN NATURE, THE USE OF LIGHT AND THE NEED FOR OPENNESS ARE ALL TYPICAL AFRICAN.
THE SURFACES OF THE FURNITURE CONTRAST IN A WONDERFUL WAY WITH THE SMOOTH, WHITE WALLS AND FLOORS, THAT CREATES A CALM, COOL ATMOSPHERE WITH FLOWING TRANSITIONS BETWEEN INSIDE AND OUTSIDE. THE SULTANSAKA HOUSE HAS TWO BEDROOMS, AS WELL AS TWO BATHROOMS AND CAN OFFER UP TO SIX PEOPLE. BOTH THE BEACH AND THE NEAREST SHOPPING CENTER ARE JUST 1.8 KILOMETERS, IN OTHER WORDS: THE HOUSE IS LOCATED ENOUGH ENOUGH THAT ITS GUESTS CAN FIND YOUR PEACE AND AT THE SAME TIME SO CHEAP THAT IT IS JUST A SHOP FOR A POOL. BEING HERE CHANGES THE SOUL, SLOWS DOWN THE STEP, INVITES SENSE.
THE LANDSCAPE AND THE HOUSE BREATHE THE SOUL OF THE LAND. REDUCED TO THE SIMPLE, ALL NEEDS ARE SATISFIED BY THE SIMPLE. BECAUSE THE HOUSE HAS TWO PRIVATE ROOMS, HOUSE STAFF, POOL BOY/GARDENER SECURITY; WHICH ARE INCLUDED IN THE RENTAL PRICE. A PRIVATE CHEF WITH COOKING AND SHOPPING SERVICE IS AVAILABLE ON EXTRA COSTS. SULTANSAKA IS A PRIVATE HOLIDAY HOME AND AT THE SAME TIME "THE INNEREST SOURCE OF HIDDEN HAPPINESS BY THE SEA" OF THE GERMAN-KENIAN COUPLE SAM AND KATHARINA, WHERE "SAKA" IS THE FIRST LETTERS OF THEIR FIRST LETTERS.
WELCOME HOME.

Beautiful Home in Diani
Our stay at Katarina's house was lovely. Katarina is very good at communicating details and the house manager Hamadi was also very helpful. The house is beautifully designed and extremely unique, although it is in need of some updating such as resurfacing the pool and mending concrete cracking. We had some issues with the electricity going out but that is common in Kenya and the house manager was quick to address the issues. We hired the cook George for the week and he was great. If you are booking from the U.S., please know that Katarina charges per person per night, not a flat fee for the house. We found this a bit confusing as this is not how most VRBO listings in the U.S. are handled. Also, know that you pay for electricity separately from the house rental fee after you arrive at the house. We didn't find the listing to be clear on this but it is included in the details briefly after you book.

I spotted this place on VRBO/Homeaway and it took me 4+ years to get here from NYC. The pictures are amazing however in person even better. The place is HUGE, spotless. The house comes with a house manager, 2 young ladies who scrub the place every day, 2 security guards and a groundskeeper. Hamidi is the house manager and he does an excellent job of anticipating your every need. We would also highly recommend hiring Chef George who is an excellent cook. It is 5 minutes drive to the beach and European style supermarkets. Diani airport is less than 5 minutes away , super convenient , you are not disturbed by any aircraft noise. This unique house is a bucket list item, cannot recommend it enough.

The best villa ever!!!
I stayed with my friends at Sultansaka house over the new year period. Saying that the villa is amazing would be an understatement. It was simply the most exquisite and spacious house I have ever stayed at. It is more grander than the photos and you remain in awe from the first day until you leave. A very short drive from Ukunda airport and you find yourself in this beautiful picturesque house with everything carefully designed. Katharina was extremely helpful and informative the entire time even though she was not in Diani herself. Chef Joseph and the rest of the team were also amazing and made sure we were fed and that the house was clean at all times. It is honestly hard to even leave the villa to do other activities in Diani because of the beautiful and warm pool. If you book at Sultansaka you will definitely not regret it and it is worth every money spent.

Left after 1 night - found 5 cockroaches
My husband and I booked a 5 night stay, and left after 1 night. One word: cockroaches; not just one, but several: 5 or 6 roaches. The property looked worn down compared to the vibrant pictures, description and reviews. I'm not sure when the photos were taken though likely not recent. Buyer beware (seriously). Upon informing Katharina of the roaches, we requested a refund for the unused nights and the poor conditions of the property. She agreed to the refund, conceding the poor conditions of the property. But, a few hours later, Katharina refused the refund because she felt the cockroaches are part of the property's open concept. Cockroaches are NOT in the description or reviews of this vrbo - if I had seen this, I would have never booked! I think I see what an open concept means: this property is huge. To keep it ventilated, they keep all the windows and doors open during the day (often at night as well). However, The amount of insects on the property was overwhelming: cockroaches, swarms of ants inside the building, geckos behind couch pillows (those were cute, yet jarring). You could close all the windows and run the A/C - though not without additional fees and significant toil. Guests must pay for electricity, including A/C. This is NOT listed anywhere in the property details on VRBO. Upon arrival, Katharina introduced the new fee for electricity; we cooperated. Prepare to be stunned on the costs and process. To get access to electricity, guests need to either trust the property manager to pay and invoice you daily, or take care of this yourself. Think of the latter as setting up utilities while on vacation: read agreements, learn local equipment, payment systems etc. This isn't a 2-minute online setup :) You'd actually require a local sim card, app and full personal account setup. Then visit the meter in the shed daily to ensure you haven't run out of funds. Either pay $20 USD/day OR keep the "open concept" (and bugs) I booked this property because it had 5 stars and exceptional value. The property, however, was in bad shape looking like it had not been used or cleaned for months. The property may have once been inhabited by humans, but has now been infested with roaches and other bugs. Before booking this property, know that there are hidden fees and it does not provide as advertised. PS: the chef's cooking was great. After the cockroaches I was not feeling so great about it, but great while it lasted :)

Great Stay in difficult circumstances
The photos of the property don’t do it justice, it is very spacious and a really lovely place. Shortly after we arrived we had to self isolate due to covid-19, This meant we were heavily reliant on the staff to do shopping etc. They were so kind and helpful, if you had to be holed up somewhere I can’t think of anywhere better, beautiful gardens, lovely pool, monkeys in the trees, birds butterflies . the staff were amazing, we had some great food from George the Chef, who also taught us how to make samosas and did all of our shopping. The gardeners Hamidee and Siadee were funny and knowledgable and the house keeping led by Gentrix did a fab job, all in all a great stay and we hope to return in better circumstances. Katharina was always on hand if we needed any help.

Amazing hidden small palace in the middle & reality of Ukunda, Kenya.
Overal, we had the most wonderul week in Ukunda, at the Sultansakahaus. Not only is the house a gem, but the staff whom we prefer to describe as now 'friends' made our stay very special. The combination of their care, attention and not to mention the fantastic chef Musa, who could compete with any of the big names - just made our week complete. We did a lot within the community and met many of the locals. The real Africa (we visited the beach for a couple of hours one day only). If anything, we were too busy to even enjoy the pool (would do more the next time for sure). I highly recommend this property. You feel welcomed & safe. There were just 2 of us, and it would be even much more fun with a family or another couple at least. Oodles of space and plenty to do in Kenya for the more adventurous as we were, or equally ideal for a family who perhaps does want to be pampered, and not move about too much by enjoying the house, the pool and whole experience. If you go to Africa, you will know what to expect. Use the locals and take in some education during your stay. Best way. We have surely left our hearts in Ukunda and I would love to return one day. It was a great week to reignite my love of Africa and the amazing African people. Thank you Katerina and Sam for allowing us to share your home and just a huge hug to Musa, Rose, Naomi, Jen, Said, Alex & King. You are all beautiful people. From Carole & Vincenzo, Milan.

Our new getaway - The ultimate relaxation!
What an unbelievable experience! The house and staff completely exceeded our expectations. While the beach was a 5 min tuktuk ride away, we didn't miss it at all. The privacy offered at the house made for a much needed relaxing vacation time not just for us but for our kids. They pretty much lived in the pool all day coming out only to eat and sleep. The quiet allowed us time to unwind. The chef Moses waa able to provide delicious meals at request. Susan, Naomi and Katana gave all the support needed to ensure a relaxing time. And a big thank you to Zablon and Kingi. We never had a worrisome thought while they around. Katharina - thank you again!

The loveliest house imaginable.
Our stay at Sultanasaka could not have been any lovelier. The house is a dream to come home to after a day at the glorious beach. The staff are so welcoming and wonderful and do absolutely everything to ensure a relaxing and luxurious stay. The food that Moses the cook prepared was fantastic and incredible value. And Rose manages the house and staff and anything you may need with deft and loving efficiency. We will miss them all terribly.
