Villa holiday rentals in Lamu County

We had a great time in Shela. The place is beautiful and reigns peace. Chloé's house is comfortable and welcoming. Dickson has been a very kind and professional host. She responded quickly to all our requests and delighted us every day with her kitchen. Chloé's house is highly recommended and, if I go back to Shela I'm sure to repeat. Thank you very much for a great few days.

I actually booked this for my parents who don't have Airbnb and are notoriously picky. They absolutely loved everything, in particular the incredible food from the chef. I cannot wait to stay here myself!!

Absolutely one of the best places we have ever stayed. Beautiful house, amazing team, great location. We felt very lucky.

The team, location and the facilities at Moon Houses are excellent. The house keeper, cook and manager were all exceptional in their efforts to ensure we enjoyed a relaxing stay. A highly recommended place to stay!

We loved Livia’s place (Amani House). While it is a short walk from the coast and central Shela, it’s a pleasant walk through neighborhoods with lots to see. It also felt more relaxing to be on the edge of town than right in it. The chef (Martin) was phenomenal and the groundsman (Philicent) and the housekeeper (Elina) were kind and helpful. Plus you have to take a dhow ride with Omar! He’s a wonderful man. We would love to stay there again!

We had the most fabulous week at Nina’s — it was an utter dream. The staff were incredible. The beach was idyllic. And everyone was so helpful and made our week perfect. Thank you to everyone for looking after us.

We had a wonderful time at Langhi Ylang. The house is beautiful with a relaxing pool area and a spectacular rooftop terrace. Gilles is a great host and Steven and chef Ali took excellent care of us. When in Lamu we will definitely revisit!

our stay at Taqwa House was wonderful - it's very clean, great pool - Annette and the staff are great hosts

It’s a very lovely house and we even want to stay for more time, and my wife very likes its kitchen. And the staff is very kindly and sincere, the chef cook well. It’s a very nice experience.

Milele House is such a wonderful place to stay in Lamu Town. We were very comfortable, and the cold pool was a definite plus in the Lamu heat. Getting there on check-in by yourself is very difficult (the map location is wrong), but Jamuhuri will come find you if you write in advance. They are also helpful in scheduling activities such as sunset dhow cruises.

We absolutely loved our stay. The host was very fast to respond & suggested thoughtful activities for us. The house is well designed, full of Art, books, films to look at. The swimming pool was a highlight. The location is at the heart of Lamu & very accessible from the waterfront. The chef was one of the best we have experienced in Lamu & the caretaker was very sweet with our kids. We highly reccomend this place!

Stayed here for the second time and still enjoyed it. I personally like, that it is a bit out of Shela and more peacful. Easy access to the beach through the dunes. Very good wifi! A great new addition is the drinking water filter system!! 👏 Firstly you don’t have to walk all the way with the heavy 10ltr bottles, but also reduces the usage of single use plastic bottles! I was lucky enough to be the only one staying this time and was able to sprawl out! 😅 Philicent and Elina are always around and helpful, but very discrete. Thanks for having me again! I shall be back!
