Lamu : locations de maisons de vacances

We had a wonderful stay in beautiful Shela! We especially enjoyed the swimming pool and the most magnificent garden! Claire is a very responsive host who provided tailored recommendations for our needs.

The house is really beautiful and authentic. It is in the middle of the village at 5 minutes walking distance from the beach. The pool is nicer than on the picture. It’s one of the highlights of the house with the rooftop. A cook and cleaner were provided with the house, which is great. Just make sure to give clear instructions to the cook if you want something specific, otherwise his cooking skills is great. We had a wonderful stay.

We really enjoyed our stay at Tunusuru House. It is just off the beach front in the centre of Shela, meaning everything is within easy walking distance. Chef Robert and his team cooked exceptional food - some of the best fish that we have ever eaten. The rooftop is a particular highlight - stunning views out onto Manda Island and a very welcome breeze. The house were able to organise numerous excursions and all of our water taxis and were incredibly responsive. If I was being picky, although traditionally designed, the house was a little sparse on furnishings (e.g. there could be some bedside tables), but overall this didn’t detract from the enjoyment of our stay. I’d thoroughly recommend Tunusuru House!

Thank you, Marriane, for sharing your beautiful home with us. We had an unforgettable stay! The house is absolutely stunning and served as the perfect backdrop for a truly memorable trip. A special thank you to the amazing staff, especially Chef Tommy, whose incredible meals made our experience even more delightful. His cooking was truly a highlight and added so much warmth to our stay. We couldn’t have asked for a more relaxing and enjoyable getaway!

Amazing location. The service provided by the staff in the house was impeccable. We will certainly come back. Everyone loved the stay. Worth noting though that it is five stories and the rooms are all split between the different floors so lots of walking in stairs.

Beautiful house, special mention for the rooftop, airy and great to chill at. We had a great stay at Nyota House. Jonny was very responsive and Harrison made our stay super smooth. Very good location too. Definitely recommend!

Eddy’s huis en het eiland Lamu zijn een echte aanrader. Zo mooi, zo authentiek, zo vriendelijk…. Een plek van vele contrasten waar je overal met open armen wordt onthaald. Veel dank aan Rachel en James die iedere ochtend een heerlijk ontbijtje maakten. Het was een fantastische ervaring.

the house is super beautiful, very airy and the wind passes through. the pool is great and the rooftop terrace is jist incredible for star gazing. the location is as described, some 10mins walk from Peponi. it's an easy walk and allows you to feel a bit more like part of the local life. however, it's not so comfortable for going to the beach, perhaps more for hanging out in the beautiful house, going out for dinners.. a great option for a larger group of friends. we felt a bit like the house staff intruded our privacy a bit too much on the first day, but this was quickly addressed when we spoke to the manager and Bassam.

Beautiful duplex house with two amazing and enjoyable sea view terraces, only a few steps from the seaside. Beautifully decorated nice spaces, very airy and healthy, very friendly host and excellent support by Dama, the house staff, always ready to help on anything, cooking, and providing information. Mauro's house is an excellent option for a stress-free stay in Shela!

We had a very happy easy time. Lamu was hot and steamy and do the fans and breezes were welcome from the great design of the house. Lawrence the chef, host and general in charge person was a delight as was Philip.

My friends and I loved our stay at Arjun's place. There was three of us so we had plenty of space and Paul and Michael took such great care of us for the few days that we were there. Communication before and during the arrival was clear and helpful. The place was absolutely stunning and the food by Michael was a highlight...honestly his food was better than some of the restaurants on the island. 5 stars for the whole experience and would definitely come back again. Highly recommend to all looking to go to Lamu Old Town.

The stay at Papaya House was fantastic. Nina was an amazing host and made sure all was going smoothly during our time there. The staff, Daniel and Safari, have been more than helpful and pleasant to be around. The food was delicious and the place was spotless. Shela is a cozy little town and from the house everything is walkable easily. The house itself is just gorgeous- the beautiful garden, the interior design and more than plenty of space to hang out or enjoy the stars at night. We hope to come back one day!

We had a lovely stay, beautiful house close to Shela beach. Raphael and all the staff were great. We loved the pool for cooling down. Lots of low ledges and high drops so be very careful with little ones

my family and I enjoyed our stay at Gilles house. would highly recommend. house looks better than photos and staff was amazing. Saidi and Mbogo were very helpful

Bee House is a very cute house, well furnished. The house is very accessible yet private. Our host, Abdulrahman, was a great host: he helped us with all the information he judged useful (and they were): a contact for a captain to arrange transfer from airport and to other islands, another contact for a very nice dhow ride at sunset, a chef that could cook for us whatever dish we asked. On top of that, Abdulrahman has been very kind, always making sure everything went well and very reactive. I already know that I'll stay at one of his properties my next stay in Shela!
