108 Residences, Diani – 1-Bedroom Sea View Apartments For Sale

There’s a particular kind of morning that only happens at the coast — the one where you wake up, see the ocean before you’ve had coffee, and remember why you bought there in the first place. The 1-bedroom apartments at 108 Residences are built around that moment. Set within a gated coastal community in Diani, they combine a manageable, single-bedroom footprint with sea views, a swimming pool, gym, and landscaped gardens — the kind of everyday infrastructure that makes coastal living genuinely liveable, not just photogenic.

The development sits roughly 420 steps from the Indian Ocean, close to Diani’s beach bars, watersports operators and restaurants, while still offering the privacy and security of a managed residential compound. For a single professional, a couple, a downsizing retiree, or an investor targeting the short-let market, the 1-bedroom units at 108 Residences are sized to be easy to own and easy to let, without the higher entry cost of a 2- or 3-bedroom unit.

This page reflects what’s currently confirmed about the 1-bedroom units at 108 Residences. Where information — such as full payment terms or construction completion timelines — depends on availability and stage at the time of enquiry, we’ve said so directly. We’d always recommend requesting the latest brochure, floor plans, price list and payment schedule before making a decision.

A Development Designed for Coastal Living

108 Residences is designed around ease — the sense that a coastal home shouldn’t come with a long list of compromises. The 1-bedroom units make the most of natural light and, in select units, direct sea views, while the gated compound gives residents a controlled, secure environment with CCTV coverage rather than an open, unmanaged block.

Shared amenities are built for daily use: a swimming pool and gym for residents who want to keep a routine without leaving the property, landscaped gardens and a BBQ area for slower weekends, and a kids’ play area nearby for visiting family. For a single-bedroom buyer, it’s a compact way to own a proper lifestyle at the coast rather than just a room to sleep in.

Unit Types

108 Residences offers two 1-bedroom layouts, so buyers can choose based on space preference and budget:

Unit Type	Approx. Size	Notable Features
1-Bedroom (Type 1)	83 sqm	1 parking bay, 1 bathroom, walk-in closet
1-Bedroom (Type 2 / featured unit)	85–92 sqm	1 parking bay, 1 bathroom, en-suite, walk-in closet, sea view

The featured 1-bedroom unit currently available is approximately 85 sqm, includes a sea view, and comes with a furnished option. As with any development moving through its sales cycle, exact unit availability by floor, aspect and finish level should be confirmed with our team at enquiry stage.

Location Advantage

108 Residences is positioned in Diani Beach, one of Kenya’s most established coastal destinations, within easy reach of:

• The Indian Ocean, approximately 420 steps away
• Diani’s beach bars, watersports operators, and beachfront restaurants, all within roughly a kilometre
• Local dining options, including nearby casual restaurants
• Diani’s wider retail, hospitality and resort corridor along Diani Beach Road
• Ukunda Airstrip and, further afield, Moi International Airport in Mombasa

Diani’s long-standing popularity with both local and international visitors supports a mature residential and short-let market in the area. That said, actual rental demand, pricing and occupancy will vary by season, unit type and management — we’d encourage any buyer to base decisions on current, verifiable market data rather than general assumptions about the area.

Payment Plan

Specific payment plan structures, deposit requirements and instalment schedules for the 1-bedroom units at 108 Residences are to be confirmed at point of enquiry. We recommend requesting the current payment plan directly so you can review the terms attached to this unit type and price point.

Why It Works for Homeowners

• A real sea view, not just a coastal postcode. Not every coastal development can offer this at 1-bedroom scale; the featured unit’s sea view is a genuine differentiator for day-to-day living.
• A manageable footprint. At around 85 sqm, the unit is sized for a single owner, a couple, or a retiree who wants coastal living without the upkeep of a larger home.
• Security and structure built in. A gated compound with CCTV coverage offers peace of mind, whether the unit is occupied full-time or left vacant between visits.
• Move-in-ready convenience. With furnishing available, air conditioning, a backup generator and fibre internet already in place, the unit is set up to be used immediately rather than requiring months of setup after handover.

Why It Works for Investors

• A furnished, sea-view 1-bedroom is a strong short-let profile. Units of this size and specification are typically the most in-demand category for holiday and short-let rental in coastal markets like Diani.
• Lower entry cost than larger units. A 1-bedroom purchase allows exposure to the Diani market without the capital outlay of a 2- or 3-bedroom unit.
• Reduced early-stage friction. Backup power, fibre internet and furnishing reduce the operational setup an investor would otherwise need to handle before the unit is rentable.
• Security supports asset protection. A gated, CCTV-monitored compound is a practical consideration for owners who won’t be on-site year-round.

We haven’t attached a projected rental yield, occupancy rate or appreciation figure to this listing — coastal rental performance depends heavily on unit specification, management quality, seasonality and marketing, and should be assessed using current, verifiable data rather than a general estimate. Our team is happy to talk through realistic expectations for this specific unit and location.

Finishes and Specifications

The featured 1-bedroom unit is finished to a contemporary coastal standard, with air conditioning, an en-suite bathroom, a walk-in closet, a private balcony, and the option to purchase furnished. Backup power and fibre internet are already provided, reducing the setup required before move-in or rental listing. For a complete, unit-specific breakdown of fittings and finishes, please request the specification sheet at enquiry stage.

Who This Development Suits Best

The 1-bedroom units at 108 Residences are likely to appeal most to:

• Buyers seeking a sea-view holiday home or second residence within walking distance of the beach
• Single professionals, couples, and retirees looking for a secure, amenity-rich coastal base without a larger footprint
• Investors targeting Diani’s short-let and holiday-rental market through a furnished 1-bedroom unit
• First-time coastal buyers wanting a lower entry point into the Diani market
• Buyers who value built-in security and move-in-ready convenience over a bare-shell purchase
