Beach House

Beach house is a large, cool beachfront house set on the sandy beach of Lamu Island. Beach House can comfortably accommodate up to 12 people and boasts panoramic views of the whole Lamu Channel. An additional two can be accommodated upon request.

A stunning, edgeless fresh water swimming pool is located on the first floor, raised above the beach level, with a bar area and low comfortable baraza seats. Up the first flight of stairs is a large dining and living room, leading out onto an al fresco terrace shaded by huge entwined acacia and baobab trees. Another door leads onto the wooden deck above the pool, providing a perfect dining area. This level also leads onto two double bedrooms with their own private terraces.

The third floor comprises two more double bedrooms plus a children’s room with four large Lamu four-poster single beds and an open terrace with space for sunbathing. The rooftop features a bar, lounge and two swinging beds that can be enjoyed along with the views.

The house has two cooks, a steward, waiter, pool attendant, launderer and other personnel, and the house staff are there to ensure guests have everything they may need. The cook will keep an account for guests in an expenditure book and do food shopping with cash funds provided by guests. Sodas, beer and wine can be bought locally and guests are recommended to provide their own spirits. Private laundry services are also available at an additional fee unless the booking is a full board booking.
