The location is beautifully set in the Shela dunes and the house is designed as a space for friends/ large groups and family. I had an amazing time with friends and the house was made for hosting. We also had a superb chef, Lawrence who was so good that we could not stand to eat at other restaurants. He spoilt us! Also the rest of the staff were so accommodating and made sure we felt at home. Hannah, the host, lives right on the property and is always available in the case you have any issues. She was a very attentive and understanding host. I will definitely be back.

Milimani Villa-Fully airconditioned Villa

Featuring air-conditioned accommodation with a private pool, mountain view and a terrace, Milimani Villa-Fully airconditioned Villa is set in Shela. Among the facilities at this property are a housekeeping service and bicycle parking, along with free WiFi throughout the property. Staff on-site can arrange airport transfers. The house is wonderful, spacious, luxury and quiet. Bassam is a great host and the staff are excellent too. We had a great time exploring from here or just enjoying doing nothing much at all. It is a bit outside Shela, but not that far and a nice village walk.

Umma House

Umma House has a terrace and is situated in Lamu, within just 400 metres of Lamu Museum and 500 metres of Lamu Fort. Guests staying at this villa have access to a balcony. Free WiFi is available throughout the property and 18th Century Swahili House Museum is 200 metres away. 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.

Beytsalam

Lamu

Set in Lamu, 200 metres from 18th Century Swahili House Museum, Beytsalam offers accommodation with a garden, free WiFi, a shared kitchen, and luggage storage space. There is a private entrance at the bed and breakfast for the convenience of those who stay. The bed and breakfast has family rooms as well as facilities for disabled guests. Beytsalam means hospitality. Everything was perfect, from our arrival (with a pick up from the airport arranged by the hotel) to our last day on the island. The location is very good, close to the sea and the port (for a day trip on a boat) and the city center, which makes you really experience the life of Lamu. The hotel manager helped us organise various activities, like a boat trip and a snorkeling trip and all exceeded our expectations: the crew, the food and the experience as a whole were great. He also recommended good restaurants nearby which we really loved. We always felt safe and that we had someone to rely on. The hotel itself is in a very nice building and we really enjoyed the breakfast on the terrace with the sea view. The room was clean and comfortable. We wished we could have spent more days there!
