Lamu House is a lovely historic hotel right on the harbor front - top floor bedrooms facing the water are the best with cooling breezes. The staff could not be friendlier and the restaurant is tasty and popular. If you want an authentic experience of Lamu the town, this is the place . It is not a luxury resort type establishment like the ones out of town.

Does Expedia offer Book Now, Pay Later Shela holidays?
Your bank balance shouldn't prevent you from escaping on holiday, so Expedia has devised a solution to help. Now that we've teamed up with online lender Klarna, it's easier than ever to book an incredible getaway without hurting your hip pocket. Klarna offers flexible payment options at checkout that take the worry out of budgeting for your break. Check out these flexible payment options:

  • Pay monthly holidays: If paying bite-sized amounts each month is what works best for you, Klarna can help. Paying in convenient monthly instalments will make your holiday dreams come true.
  • Pay in instalments holidays: Into the idea of paying for your holiday in multiple transactions? Then select this Book Now, Pay Later option with Klarna.
  • Low deposit holidays: If paying a small percentage of your trip (rather than the total upfront) makes it easier to hit that "book now" button, choose a low deposit holiday payment plan with Klarna.

Where should I stay in Shela?
With popular attractions such as Shela Beach and Lamu Fort in this neighbourhood, see if you can find a hotel near either one. Lamu Museum is another sight that draws the crowds.

How far in advance should I book my Shela holiday?
Browse Expedia to compare international airfares as soon as you know your travel dates. In most cases, you can purchase a seat up to a year prior to departure.
