Lamu Hotels

Peponi Hotel
Peponi hotel located on the exotic island of Lamu is run by the Korschen family, who opened it in 1967 and still retains much of the character and charm that it had then. Although small and personal, it is the perfect rest after a safari or a hide away holiday from modern life. Peponi Hotel has a total of 24 rooms divided into superior and standard rooms. The superior rooms are differentiated by their location, size, a private outside area, indoor plants, artwork and Swahili furnishings. No two rooms are alike. Five rooms are built right on the beach, with private veranda areas overlooking the sea, while the rest have a combination of ocean and garden views. All rooms have an ocean view, overhead fans, mosquito nets, showers, fresh flowers, and personal safes.

Kipungani Bay-Lamu
Kipungani Bay is an idyllic private beach hideaway that is calm, secluded and extremely low key with just 15 beach cottages or grass villas positioned to ensure privacy. The bedrooms have king size beds draped with mosquito netting as villas have no doors or windows to allow refreshing cool breezes. All villas have their own veranda facing the ocean. The walls and floors are made from local palm mats and have a high-pitched thatch roof.

Kijani Hotel
In the village of Shela, in the island of Lamu, Kijani House offers a unique accommodation with its tropical garden, which leads directly to the sea, and two fresh water swimming pools. Each room has a bathroom and has its own balcony or veranda facing the garden and the sea. 
The rooms are spread throughout the garden into three small separate traditional Swahili buildings, which were formerly private homes, made of coral walls, with boriti ceiling and makuti roofs.

Kizingo Lodge
Kizingo is a wonderful, secluded and tranquil escape from the modern world. The lodge is situated at one end of a spectacular beach that stretches from Kizingo to the fashionable village of Shela. Kizingo has six beautifully appointed bandas (thatched cottages), set well apart from each other, with unrivalled sea views. In the early morning you can enjoy tea in bed and watch fishing dhows tack south to Malindi. Each room has a large double bed romantically draped with mosquito netting and comfortable chairs for lounging. Bamboo screens unfurl to give complete privacy. The en suite bathroom is well appointed with a flushing toilet, hot water shower, wash basin and dressing area.
