Excellent stay. Lovely authentic design, super sweet staff (shout out to Amani for always helping out with a big smile), and I LOVE the idea of the tea hour, as well as the wonderful fresh homemade breakfast. We will be back!

It was one of the most memorable stays I’ve had. The house is a traditional Swahili house, with a beautiful terrace and views, a tastefully decorated interior with all the necessary amenities and a well stacked kitchen, which is always a plus with kids. Our host Abadalla is quite simply the best host I’ve ever had - and we travel quite a bit. He was kind, thoughtful and basically carefully planned our entire stay, coordinating tours, recommending awesome local spots and day activities along the way. He took take of it all, from airport pick up, to sunset Dhow, to Lamu tour, he negotiated the prices and made the trip ultra smooth. He also served us beautiful breakfast every morning, with a large variety of fruits, Swahili pastries, omelettes, etc. He also stocked the fridge and made sure we always had drinking water for a very reasonable fee. The nicest and warmest guy, who also shared many special moments with us, and shared stories and history of Lamu as well. We would highly recommend Shela Bliss to anyone. An outstanding experience!

Super cozy, spacious, full of light, with all amenities, drinking water, non stop electricity even during power cuts, great ventilation, chilled vibe and above all a constant support by Chris and Reuben, who have been great in all terms and made us feel like home. Thank you Sai Shanti. We will be back!

Incredible space with even better people. First, even before we arrived, communication with the host (Tarik) was impeccable. We always felt we were in good hands and that rang true from the moment we arrived especially with the housekeeper Farid who was absolutely excellent and was on top of every need we might have. I should take a moment also to say that the space itself is STUNNING. Absolutely gorgeous with many, many beautiful details. Truly a hidden gem of Lamu.

This was genuinely one of the best hotel experiences I've ever had. The bungalows are amazing, every little decoration thought through, with wonderful views of the sand dunes, I felt like I was in paradise. The food is great, staff extremely kind and helpful and the location stunningly beautiful. The place felt very much chich and high end in spite of being an eco-resort: the bed was amazingly comfortable, the bathroom spacious and clean and the room overall was just stunningly beautiful and comfortable. They even gave a kenyan phone and a bluetooth speakers, which I thought was brilliant. For the price, I found this resort to be a steal and I hope to be back someday. If you're looking for a place immersed in nature where to disconnect and soak in the beauty of starry skies, sand dunes and empty beaches, look no further.
