Beautiful location in Shela village, stunning gardens around the hotel and a short walk to Shela Beach which goes on forever. The restaurant at Kijani is amazing, better than Peponi! Definitely have the Kijani Crab Curry!

Featuring a terrace with sea views, a private beach area and a garden, Mangrove House can be found in Lamu, close to Manda Beach and 600 metres from Mnarani House.

Really beautiful. A haven of serenity and calm. Exceptionally kind and helpful staff. When food is requested and cooked to order it’s of higher quality than that in the luxury hotel along the beach.

The Majlis Resort is located in Lamu with views of the Ras Kitau Bay on Manda Island.

This resort is beautifully designed and maintained with such ellegant attention to detail in every aspect. Staff were so amazing and the services from the room stewards, waiters, barman, boat captains and dhow waiter was excellent. Truly loved the smiling faces of all the staff and always happy to be of assistance. The beach was tranquil over looking the village of shela in the distance, the sunset views at the infinity pool was amazing. Transfers and our tours were arrange perfectly. If you are a lover of art, interior design and architecture, this place will blow you away. Thank you Majlis for a truly memorable stay.

Staying at Beytul Habaib was a great cultural experience. The mix of modern and traditional decor was beautiful, and David's service was excellent. The two-bedroom apartment was perfect for our family. We enjoyed cooking and felt right at home. The views were amazing, with stunning scenes of the island and ocean from every angle. Being close to the beach was a big plus, and my children loved playing there.

Stopover Guest House and Restaurant is a 3-star property located in Lamu, facing the sea.

Since Stopover is the first guesthouse you see when arriving at Shela's seafront from Lamu, my gut instinct was to see where else we could stay, but we could not have imagined a more perfect, relaxing (and very clean) place. Hamid, the manager of Stopover, made us feel very comfortable and safe, and the staff was extremely friendly and helpful. Our 2nd floor balcony overlooking the sandy approach to Shela and line of fishing boats and dhows was a bargain itself. Add the mosquito-netted traditional Arabic beds, eager-to-please staff, and delicious fresh fish meals and you have the perfect spot to experience the varied cultures of Lamu island. You can wander around Shela village, walk the beach, or go into nearby Lamu town (for which I highly recommend Ali as a guide to introduce you to Arabic culture through his eyes). It is SAFE, relaxing, romantic and so interesting to experience. The Stopover (Shela location) is the perfect base for your Lamu adventure.

Situated within 100 metres of Manda Beach and 300 metres of Shela Beach, Shela Bahari features rooms with air conditioning and a private bathroom in Shela.

My first impression of Deuli House's wonderfulness was Chuie, the manager, who picked us up at the airport and provided us with useful information on Lamu City and Shela. The Deuli House itself is a spectacular example of Swahili-Arabic architecture, with a riyad-style central fountain in a light well extending 3 stories high. Beautifully handcrafted wood furniture decorate the living area. An antique dhow sail billows from the top of the light well to the ground floor exaggerating the building's height. The garden is large, and green with HUGE giant oyster shells where the turtles shelter from the sun. In addition to the breathtaking architecture, Chef Chengo and his assistant Michael, act like your personal chef and waiter. Peilo (sp?) the household help, created a beautiful bed of flowers as a welcome and keeps the accommodations spotless. The meals were amazing, the rooms are spacious, and the service, impeccable. The mosque is nearby, so we were shocked at 5am for prayers. It is located close to Peponi Hotel and magnificent soft sandy beaches which unfortunately we didn't have enough time to walk around. Also missed sailing at sunset in a dhow boat because of inclement weather...bummed...need to return.

Facing the beachfront, Peponi Hotel Lamu - Kenya offers 4-star accommodation in Shela and features an outdoor swimming pool, garden and terrace.
