Bone Idle

A rustic beach house, Robinson Crusoe style. At the southern tip of Lamu Island, the house faces the Indian Ocean as it rolls in along a great stretch of empty beach. An absolutely perfect place for simply doing nothing, one can nevertheless also lie on the beach, float out to sea or take long walks across the island. Lamu, centuries old, and the most ancient Swahili settlement on the East African coast, is just a 30 minute boat ride away.

NYUMBANI- Banda in the Sky

SimoneRating, 5 stars5 months ago

We loved it. Especially the company of the dogs Bruno and Luna. We were lucky to be the only occupants of the compound for most of the time, and that the schools were closed. A small fridge and basic cooking facilities would make the banda perfect.

Jake apartment

MariaRating, 5 stars1 month ago

Abdulrahman's place was a beautiful, soulful home away from home as we stayed in Shela. Upon our arrival on the Shela seashore, Loice and team met us at the boat, helped us with our bags and gave us a warmhearted welcome. They and Abdulrahman were always responsive. And when there was an issue with a broken window in the apartment, Abdulrahman immediately moved us to another beautiful unit in the building. The apartment is light-filled, airy and spacious. The interior design is charming. It is clear that the space is created and maintained with a keen eye for beauty and with much care. The bed is comfortable. We slept very peacefully in the quiet privacy of the apartment. There are quite a few stairs to climb to the apartment. Noting this for guests who need to take into account such considerations.

Private room in Shela

Jua House B&B Single Room

CarrieRating, 5 stars4 months ago

I instantly felt right at home. Thomas, Amani and all the staff were very accommodating and were responsive to anything I needed. The breakfast is amazing (make sure to try the banana pancakes and the vegetable scrambled eggs). They make almost everything in-house so you really feel like you're eating a home-cooked meal. The afternoon tea and snack was perfect while I needed to work remotely and the wifi worked very well in the common areas so I was able to get a lot of work done during my stay. The bed was comfy, the water was hot, the room was spotless and it felt like a home away from home. Thank you!

Forest House.(3).Single seaview rm.WC.Balcony.Gard

RobertRating, 5 stars3 months ago

Mama Aisha was super helpful and was available when I landed on the jetty, giving me someone to help with luggage and take me to the accomodation spot. I got one of the rooms looking over one of the streets but while seated I could see the streets and activities but those below couldn't see me. this proved great for doing work stuff and not feeling stuck in my room. yet, there was minimal noise beyond the occasional conversations and movement. I loved the spot though - I highly recommend it to others.

Tamarind House 1st Floor

John MRating, 5 stars1 month ago

His description does not really do it justice! It is far bigger than you will expect and easily accommodate 6 without issues. Best thing though, was Abdillah himself. Friendly, helpful and a great tour guide around the village of Shela. This has been his home his entire life and it shows. I would recommend anyone wanting a relaxing yet exciting vacation, long or short, to visit Shela and stay in his place. We will be returning next year with our children! Give thanks Abdillah One Love

Baji is a great host, he picked me up from the airport and explained everything important to me. The place is very clean and quiet. Especially Maya's breakfast was excellent and I really enjoyed the time there.
