Excellent location in the heart of Lamu town. I was given the choice of the available rooms. I loved the decor. Beautiful view of the sunrise from the terrace. Breakfast was so tasty. Muhammed also arranged a brilliant sunset boat trip for me for a great price.

This is a wonderful place to stay! It's a little haven from the busy lanes of Shela and Lamu Town .... so peaceful and calming. Its pretty garden, pool and relaxing ambience make it a stunning choice to totally unwind. Yoga and a massage spa are available. The staff are friendly and personable and the food is excellent. One evening we had a choice of a swahili meal cooked by local women ....incredible !! We loved our stay and were sad to leave.

    For our short stay it was really appreciated the small additional services Shela Bahari’s team provided: the pot with a tea just to bed :))) and late check out to fit our departure. Than you a lot! And a view from our private balcony was really amazing! Lamu town in 30-35 minutes of walk when beaches just in a minute
