Lamu Island Villa


Lamu Island remains one of my top destinations; I've been before and it continues to delight. It is a magic island with wonderful reefs for snorkelling, friendly people and an interesting cultural mix.

Beach
Lamu-town is a harbour, separated from Manda Island by a channel. Small beaches can be found on the channel (300 m from the house). Beaches facing the open sea are passed Shela (20 min walk, 5 min boat), or accross the channel to Manda (10 min boat).
   

Description



Located on the shores of East Africa, in the Indian Ocean, off the coast of Kenya, Lamu is a town, an island, and an archipelago. There, time seems to have stopped somewhere in the XVIII or XIX century, and life is still much what it used to be at the time of the Sultanates of Pate and Zanzibar.
Alternating endless beaches and mysterious mangroves, old historical buildings and untouched nature, fishing trips and BBQ, Lamu can fulfil all holidays dreams.
The house is located between Lamu Town and Shela village, in a 1/4 acre secluded garden, remote and peaceful, 200 m from the sea. With 200 sq. m., three bedrooms, two terraces, living room, equipped kitchen and toilet/bathroom, the house can comfortably sleep six people. Spare mattresses in the attic, terraces and balconies, not to mention tents in the garden, have in the past allowed catering for more than 12 people.
Facilities include a care-taker and a watchman on-site. Motor-boat hire, sailing boat and cook can be arranged. Airport / bus-stop meet and greet.
Our extensive knowledge of the island assures you that any request for fun-time, whatever incongruous, can be fulfilled.
