"We had a lovely 9 day stay at the one way house. The house is simply stunning and very well maintained and clean. Michael- the chef- made us beautiful breakfasts and dinners. It’s impossible to choose a favorite dish but his curries are world class and biryani a MUST have. Paul helped us navigate Lamu. He is the man about about town. Ensures that we got our boat captain, walked us to catch our boat for day trips. Lamu town offers an authentic sense of the rich culture. Just an overall amazing...

"Every bedroom, gathering space, and lounging area throughout the house (inside and out) is comfortably appointed and thoughtfully designed. The staff of the house are warm, inviting, and exceptionally professional. We loved the location along the water - close access for beach walks and shopping, yet plenty of quiet and privacy while still steps away from activity. Forodhani House is a very special place and our group was honored by our experience!"

"My friends and I had the most wonderful time staying at Jahazi House. The house itself is beautiful and spacious and very comfortable. The house staff are truly wonderful and we ate the best food - truly a highlight from our entire time in Kenya. Excursions to Lamu and Shela were fun and the local guides that were arranged for us were wonderful. The owner is communicative and friendly and answered all of my questions promptly. You feel like you are on a deserted island in the best way. We cannot...

"Had a wonderful stay, staff were very friendly and the breakfast was delicious. One thing to bear in mind is that this location is in the town centre and not near Shella beach - it's either a 40 mins walk or a 15 minute boat ride. There is also no aircon on the island so it's just fans."

Superb yoga classes are nearby at Banana House and Lamu town is a walk, boda ride or boat ride away.
