Lamu
Featuring a shared lounge and views of garden, Shela Bliss is a recently renovated bed and breakfast set in Lamu, 400 metres from Manda Beach. This property offers access to a terrace and free private parking. The bed and breakfast features family rooms. We loved the decor, the quiet situation and the breakfast served by Emmanuel who hosted perfectly. It felt like a real home, not an anonymous guest house. The beach was incredibly clean and despite the poverty very little was being hawked so it was truly peaceful. Shela is far preferable to Lamu.

Very warm and friendly reception. Beyond expectations!
We were initially doubting to book due to a false comment of bathroom privacy issue, but we took chances and had a lovely stay, bathroom/shower is separated with locking mechanism from both sides. Host is super friendly, and greets/welcomes from Jetty, and even from Airport offers pickup service, which feels like home. We broke a glass accidently and they were cool about it too. Very accommodating, always at service to take us around as historical alleys there don't show up in Maps. We will return for sure.

We stayed at Ttunu House in January 2025, and it was simply incredible! The house is beautiful, lovingly restored, and tastefully furnished. There is truly not a single thing to complain about! The Ttunu House team—Cornelius, Stephen, and Jackson—did everything to make our stay perfect and unforgettable. Stephen cooks whatever guests desire, with only the cost of groceries charged, while the service itself is included. Upon request, we had the best tuna steaks of our lives, served with grilled vegetables and Kachumbari (a Kenyan tomato salad). For those looking for an extraordinary vacation far from tourist hotspots but without sacrificing luxury, Ttunu House is the perfect choice! We would love to come back.

We had a great time exploring from here or just enjoying doing nothing much at all. It is a bit outside Shela, but not that far and a nice village walk.

The location was great, right on the waterfront, close to water taxis, etc. The staff were so friendly and were always there if you needed them. After check out, they called to inform us we left a few things in the room, we left them on purpose, but it was nice to get a follow-up call.

The design of the house is amazing. It's centrally located in Lamu. The facilities are very comfortable, including the mattresses. The kitchen is well equipped. We enjoyed the pool and the relaxation areas of the property: around the pool, the terrace, the rooftop. Peter was very kind, helpful and discreet. We would like to thank you.
I really loved the house itself. The architecture, all the details in the house in decorations, kitchen utensils... everything. It gave me a lot of inspiration, feeling of relaxation, rest as if i was at home. The team of management and service - just wonderful. Very professional, kind and present to help. A wonderful experience that I enclosed in my heart. Asante sana .
This is such an absolutely charming and very unique property. Beautiful authentic Swahili decor and architecture, incredible rooftop view of town and ocean, and a very kind, extremely helpful caretaker. It was nice to have access to a kitchen.
Finding the hostel might be a challenge. From the waterfront street, turn up where the "watermelon lady" is and follow the drain to an always on LED street light. Turn right and making one small turn arrive at the hostel. This is an amazing old building with more twists and turns, stairs and lovely seating areas. I was upgraded to a single room with an ensuite bath just below the "summit" sitting area. On a hot day, I loved the cold shower. The kitchen is great with a stove for hot water, fridge and lovely sitting area.
