Naima's Upstairs

MayaRating, 5 stars1 month ago
Naima's place is great! The outdoor balcony is a wonderful spot to hang out and relax. The bedrooms are very spacious and equipped with fans. Plus, Patrick and Justin are wonderful, kind, and great communicators. Naima was also very gracious. We loved our stay at Naima's place in Shela and highly recommend it!

Exclusive Beach House, Shela Lamu, Kenya

CarolineRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
We (5 adults) had a great 3 nights at Bahati house. Anthony was quick to respond on chat, organizing airport transfer and post arrival lunch with us. We had a hiccup with the arrival airport transfer which was the boat Captain's fault, but after that the trip was perfect. The highlight is the excellent service by Justin, the chef, and Martin the caretaker who also served our meals. Justin's food was AMAZING. We ended up not eating any meals out to enjoy it and the excellent service. The house is spacious and tastefully designed with relaxing lounge areas on each floor which also invite you to relax. The house is located in Shela and we had a great time getting lost through the streets as well as walking along the beach. It's also about 30 min walk to the Lamu Old town which was a great way to spend a morning / afternoon. Overall a great stay and we would go back in a heartbea One note: The house (and many parts of Lamu) are not very accessible for those with impaired mobility.

Najma’s penthouse

ChepkorirRating, 5 stars1 month ago
Lovely penthouse in the heart of Lamu city. If you want to stay in the hustle and bustle of the city then I highly recommend this penthouse. Najma is always willing to help and so proactive, friendly and warm, so hard not to love her! The transit from the airport to the house was swift. Thanks a lot for everything Najma. Only thing to remember is to carry water as water is not provided in the Airbnb

Rob apartment

PeterRating, 5 stars4 weeks ago
Perfect spot to jump off exploring Shela. The location is set a bit back from the beach and more touristy areas, but the apartment is exactly as pictured, very nice! Abdulrahman (Babu) was very responsive as a his and helped us with local recommendations etc. we were collected from the beach having gotten a boat taxi with his cousin Nasir, and taken to apartment for an early check in. All in all perfect for what we needed

Authentic Swahili style villa in the heart of Lamu

NjeriRating, 5 stars1 month ago
Milele house is such a beautiful treat. The feel of the place, the decor and painting are immaculate. Very clean too. I loved the many little chill spots all round the house, the rooftop gives the best view of the island. Jamuhuri is a gem, he ensured we had a seamless stay and Abu walked us around the Island providing such rich and nuanced history. A place I will come back too!

MeitalRating, 5 stars4 months ago
Gilles’ place is very special. Beautiful architecture, a wonderful collection of art & books, spacious and comfortable and a magnificent pool to refresh ourselves! Gilles is a well travelled charming and caring host - ready to make our stay great. The staff - Stephen & Anderson were very talented chefs and gracious caretakers of the house. They welcomed us and attended to all our needs with utmost kindness. The sunset was spectacular from the rooftop terrace. What more could we ask for? We really loved our stay and can’t wait to return. Thank you Gilles, Stephen and Anderson. It was more than memorable!!!

Small family house in Shela

KelvinRating, 5 stars4 days ago
Everything about our stay was 10/10! Jonas is fantastic and super helpful. There were some internet issues, and he got us a solution ASAP. The location is close to the beach, but far enough from the noise; very peaceful and calm. The cherry on top is Kahindi (the caretaker). He picked us up at the jetty right on time just by communicating with the boat people. He's a great cook and will get you anything you need at a very affordable rate. He keeps the place spotless round the clock. We extended our stay after the first 3 days planned. Would recommend.

Tamarind House

FabriceRating, 5 stars1 week ago
Beautiful feeling coming home to the terrace view, and lying on the outdoor bed watching life go by,up high in a peaceful and breezy spot, close to everything. The place is great value for money and Abdillah was warm and welcoming. Nice alternative to the village's more high end market, with comfort and proximity to local life being key. Would stay again for sure!

Coconut House, Shela: beautiful home with garden

ValerieRating, 5 stars1 month ago
This was our second time staying at Coconut House, and it was once again fantastic. Stefania is a proactive host with lots of recommendations and a network of local help to make our stay comfortable and worry-free. Lawrence is a wonderful chef who also took care of the grocery shopping and meal-planning for us, and cooked some absolutely delicious meals, better than restaurant quality! The home itself is spacious and spread out, with lots of unique seating areas to enjoy various views, and comfortable beds to relax at the end of the day. We look forward to returning again (and again!) — Coconut House feels like home away from home.

Exclusive Waterfront Private Villa - Manda Island

DinaRating, 5 stars31 months ago
Feisal's place was amazing. The house sits on its own plot on Manda Island, just a quick boat ride from Shela and Lamu Town. We had a family of 5 adults, 2 kids, a toddler and 2 infants. There was more than enough space with a balcony on each floor and 3 bedrooms. The sea breeze was incredible and the pool did not disappoint. There is a long dock to go to the boat and as the level of the tide varied each day we enjoyed swimming in the sea some days and beachtime on others. Amina the housekeeper and her daughters kept the place clean and helped us with anything we needed. We hired a chef, Yousef, who cooked amazing meals and even grocery shopped for us. This allowed us to truly relax and our kids loved their time on the island..it was a true adventure for them. We visited the Takwa Ruins, shopped in Shela and ate at several local restaurants. The weather was gorgeous and when it rained it only lasted minutes. The internet speed was great both inside and outside and allowed for streaming and movie afternoons when the kids were tired. We would love to return some day!

Mtende House, Shela, Lamu Island

DeborahRating, 5 stars6 days ago
Mtende house is beautifully charming, each detail seemingly handpicked with thought and attention to detail. From the characterful doors, windows, lighting fixtures and furnishings, to the elevated ceilings in the bedrooms to the breezy dining and sitting area at the top of the 3 storey house, everything about the house makes you feel at home and simultaneously on vacation. The staff were wonderful. Patrick is a terrific cook and assisted by George, everything went perfectly smoothly regarding every aspect of our stay. If you are lucky enough to visit Shela, make Mtende House your home away from home … you won‘t regret it. Thank you Jax for being an amazing host and sharing your special home with us.

#Waterfront view - House or Room

DeeRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
Samaki house was great place to immerse yourself in Lamu’s culture. The house itself boasts beautiful Swahili finishes along with a stunning view from the terrace. The location is within walking distance to several local restaurants, land marks and is located near the Main Street where all the local stores are. Moses, the house manager, was extremely helpful. Breakfast was an added bonus, and the provision of different breakfast options was very appreciated.

Help us house, lamu/ shella traditional house

ConnorRating, 5 stars7 months ago
We really enjoyed our stay at Tunusuru House. It is just off the beach front in the centre of Shela, meaning everything is within easy walking distance. Chef Robert and his team cooked exceptional food - some of the best fish that we have ever eaten. The rooftop is a particular highlight - stunning views out onto Manda Island and a very welcome breeze. The house were able to organise numerous excursions and all of our water taxis and were incredibly responsive. If I was being picky, although traditionally designed, the house was a little sparse on furnishings (e.g. there could be some bedside tables), but overall this didn’t detract from the enjoyment of our stay. I’d thoroughly recommend Tunusuru House!
