About this place

Welcome to our stunning beachfront villa on Lamu Island. This beautifully restored Swahili-style home offers an unparalleled experience of coastal living, blending traditional architecture with modern comforts.

The property features 4 spacious bedrooms, each with en-suite bathrooms, a rooftop terrace with panoramic ocean views, a private courtyard with plunge pool, and direct beach access through a private gate.

Perfect for families, groups, or couples seeking a tranquil escape. The villa comes with a dedicated housekeeper and optional private chef service.

The architecture is a stunning blend of traditional Swahili coral stone and lime plaster with contemporary design touches. Hand-carved lamu doors open onto a central courtyard where a plunge pool is shaded by frangipani trees. The rooftop terrace offers 360-degree views of the Indian Ocean, Lamu Old Town, and the mangrove-lined channels.

We provide all linens, towels, and beach essentials. The kitchen is fully equipped for self-catering, and our housekeeper can arrange grocery shopping before your arrival. For a truly hands-free experience, book our private chef who specialises in Swahili coastal cuisine and fresh seafood.

We celebrated New Year's here and it was magical. The rooftop terrace views at sunset are unforgettable. 10/10.
