How to get here: Once landed at Lamu airport located on Manda Island, you’ll be escorted by speedboat for a gentle 15-minute ride to the Majlis, located in the Ras Kitau bay, in front of the Shela Village. Lamu in Kenya is a perfect destination for a beach holiday.

 

Structure: The Majlis has state-of-the-art facilities that include two bars, two swimming pools with panoramic views over the seafront, and an activity center. There are 39 exquisite deluxe rooms and suites divided into three beachfront villas. The rooms, all presented in timelessly elegant Lamu Island style, are very spacious, well appointed, and fully air-conditioned. At the Majlis, art is a huge part of the unique, locally driven and thoughtfully curated experiences.

 

Why staying here: Discover narrow streets, storied buildings, intricately carved wooden doors and numerous mosques. The natural surroundings and beaches of Lamu islands are spectacular and offer a variety of activities to keep active all day long.
