Shela Beach House

A large, cool beach front house for twelve to fourteen (12 to 14) people with four double rooms and one dormitory style quadruple, all en suite.

On the first floor, raised above beach level, there is a stunning, edge less fresh water swimming pool. It has 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 alfresco terrace, shaded by huge entwined acacia and baobab trees.

Another door leads onto the wooden deck above the pool – a perfect dining area – and to two double bedrooms with their own private terraces.

The third floor comprises two double bedrooms plus a children’s room with 4 large Lamu four-poster single beds and an open terrace with space for sunbathing.

From the rooftop with its bar, lounge and two swinging beds you can enjoy panoramic views of the whole Lamu channel, watch the fishing dhows return, dolphins pass and the moon rise.

On the hilltop, in the dunes behind Beach House, one can enjoy sitting in the gazebo with a stunning view of the Indian Ocean and the shoreline of the neighboring Kitau on Manda Island.
