Further Information

This lovely, private, owner-run hotel is set right on the beach at Shela and consists of small white cottages with their own verandas dotted amongst pretty, lush, tropical gardens facing the sea.

A raised swimming pool overlooks the sea and a short walk takes you to the stunning white beach. There are masses of things to do from day-long snorkel trips with a picnic and trips into the wonderfully unspoilt town of Lamu to explore the narrow streets. There is a watersports centre here where you can arrange to snorkel, windsurf and waterski. At certain times of year wild dolphins can be watched from the boat. The delicious food is mostly fresh fish and locally grown fruit and vegetables.

The island of Lamu sits in the warm Indian Ocean off the coast of northern Kenya. It exudes enormous charm and has a really lovely, unsophisticated feel. In Lamu Town, you find elegant, Islamic townhouses and beautiful Arabic courtyards surrounded by scruffy, narrow alleyways and crumbling walls with peeling paint. The ubiquitous donkeys, who wander the streets at will, brush past intricately carved wooden doors and stone stairways that seem to hint at a former grandeur.
