Facing the beachfront, Peponi Hotel Lamu - Kenya offers 4-star accommodation in Shela and features an outdoor swimming pool, garden and terrace. 400 metres from Shela Beach and a few steps from Mnarani House, the property features ski-to-door access, as well as a bar.

The staff are second to none. And the owner was superb and made us feel very much at home. Very difficult to put into words how great this place is. Just GO THERE!! You can thank me later.

This historical Arabian-style building is located in the UNESCO-listed town of Lamu. It is less than 300 metres from the seafront and 3 km from the white sandy beach.

The bright rooms at Subira House have either a patio or a balcony and some have sea views and free Wi-Fi. Every room has a fan, a seating area, and a dining area. The house has been beautifully restored to traditional Swahili design (take a look at old photographs in the reception). The staff were all extremely friendly and helpful and we felt very welcome and at home on first walking through the front door - thank you. Really good central location to avail of boat taxis, local restaurants and experience a glimpse into every day life within the hustle and bustle of the town located right behind the main square / fort. Breakfast was a simple offer of homegrown fruits honey yogurt and eggs with home made breads jams and peanut butter but really really lovely and I think my favourite breakfast having been in Kenya for 8 weeks!! Sara was so welcoming and approachable to help with booking tours and answer any question we had. Communal spaces outside rooms were nicely decorated and relaxed for guests to chill in some shade. Love that the house is sustainable and also has a local Shamba farm. Sara arranged a 2 hour walking tour with a local guide which was fascinating. We only wish we had more time to explore the farm and go on more trips as Lamu has been a truly magical place and so happy we visited and stayed at Subira. Thanks to all the team who made our stay so special and homely.
