Lamu House

Lamu House is made up of two houses that provide the perfect holiday getaway on Lamu Island, Kenya. Both houses have been restored and adapted for western-style living, and preserve all the charm of traditional Swahili architecture but are designed to satisfy the needs of clients and travellers that choose to stay in the historic centre of Lamu for their holiday.

Lamu House offers the best of both worlds and you can rent either a complete house or individual rooms as in a hotel. Each house accommodates 10 to 12 persons in five separate bedrooms, and also has a living room opening to a courtyard and plunge pool, a top terrace overlooking the sea and the Old Stone Town, a kitchen and hi-fi system. Lamu House boasts sun decks and little nooks all over the house to nurture privacy. Each of Lamu House’s rooms are different and has its own character, all spacious and comfortable, with luxurious en suite bathrooms, dressing area and a private terrace.

Staff service is provided to make your stay comfortable ; the chefs will delight your senses with the wonders of the local gastronomy combined with international cuisine. Alcoholic beverages are available at Lamu House with a selection of wines, spirits and beers on offer to both hotel and house guests.

The Lamu House experience is unique in offering clients access to two private dhows. They are crewed by experienced Swahili sailors and whether a sundown sail, a day trip or a longer excursion is booked you will be offered delicious food, ample refreshments and a wonderful experience. The dhows have snorkelling gear on board and a small tender, and the team will help you organise trips to explore the islands in the spirit of the tradewinds.
