My first impression of Deuli House's wonderfulness was Chuie, the manager, who picked us up at the airport and provided us with useful information on Lamu City and Shela. The Deuli House itself is a spectacular example of Swahili-Arabic architecture, with a riyad-style central fountain in a light well extending 3 stories high. Beautifully handcrafted wood furniture decorate the living area. An antique dhow sail billows from the top of the light well to the ground floor exaggerating the building's height. The garden is large, and green with HUGE giant oyster shells where the turtles shelter from the sun. In addition to the breathtaking architecture, Chef Chengo and his assistant Michael, act like your personal chef and waiter. Peilo (sp?) the household help, created a beautiful bed of flowers as a welcome and keeps the accommodations spotless. The meals were amazing, the rooms are spacious, and the service, impeccable. The mosque is nearby, so we were shocked at 5am for prayers. It is located close to Peponi Hotel and magnificent soft sandy beaches which unfortunately we didn't have enough time to walk around. Also missed sailing at sunset in a dhow boat because of inclement weather...bummed...need to return.

Jua House is extremely beautiful, furnished with a lot of love, every corner thoughtfully decorated with respect for the local culture. The rooms are beautiful, too, ane the bathrooms and showers are great. The place is really more beautiful than on the pictures. There's a beautiful terrace, where breakfast is usually served, and then another roof top terrace on top – ideal for yoga or sunbathing. The breakfast was amazing! Jua House is known as a bakery, too. There were freshly baked bread, fresh fruit, swahili specialties, omelets, juice and much more every morning. Even the coffee was good, sourced and roasted by a small local company/café/school project. Additionally, there was tea time every afternoon with more house-baked pastries. We wish they would offer lunch and dinner too – we would've probably just stayed at the house all day:) There was filtered drinking water available all day. Amani was super helpful and so nice. We stayed for three nights but we wish we would've stayed for a week or more. They had us picked up at the airport/airstrip by boat and organized transport at reasonable prices whenever we needed it. Shela town is tiny, there are no cars or even tuk-tuks, only a handful of motorcycles coming from Lamu town – other than that it's just small boats, lots of donkeys and an occasional camel for transportation.

Featuring a swimming pool and tropical gardens, Kijani Hotel is situated on the coast of Lamu Island, along the Indian Ocean. The décor comes with natural handmade furniture, lanterns and ornaments.

Really beautiful. A haven of serenity and calm. Exceptionally kind and helpful staff. When food is requested and cooked to order it’s of higher quality than that in the luxury hotel along the beach.

Staying at Beytul Habaib was a great cultural experience. The mix of modern and traditional decor was beautiful, and David's service was excellent. The two-bedroom apartment was perfect for our family. We enjoyed cooking and felt right at home. The views were amazing, with stunning scenes of the island and ocean from every angle. Being close to the beach was a big plus, and my children loved playing there.
