Located in the far northern coastline of Kenya is the town of Lamu. Once a bustling beach destination, Lamu has recently dropped off the map. However, forming somewhat of a resurgence in recent months, Lamu’s status of a UNESCO World Heritage Site and Swahili settlements and distinctive architecture are enticing visitors back.
Peponi Hotel has 24 individually designed rooms all with fantastic ocean views. Located on the edge of Shela Town and being one of the oldest hotels on the island it attracts a lot of Kenyan locals looking to escape Nairobi.
Manda Bay is a stylish beach hideaway on an idyllic island within Kenya's Lamu Archipelago. Each of the 16 spacious Swahili thatched banda cottages is designed to maximise the sweeping views and catch the cool sea breezes.
A perfect option for couples, honeymooners or single travellers, The Cabanas are a wonderful addition to the private houses at Kizingoni Beach. Spend your days relaxing on a swing bed in the shade, or kayaking along the shoreline.
