KenyaWe enjoyed our stay in this beautiful home ! We loved the view of the sand dunes, located in a safe neighborhood and 1-2 minutes walk to the restaurants in Shela and oceanfront! The house manager cooked us such tasty Swahili dishes at our request. We’ll definitely be back again!
Thank you to the team that made our stay wholesome!

From
NetherlandsThe house is wonderful, spacious, luxury and quiet. Bassam is a great host and the staff are excellent too. 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.

What Guests Said About Shela:
Scored out of 10, guest rating 10
Shela is more relaxing and friendly than Lamu.
Shela is more relaxing and friendly than Lamu. It is a wonderful base to use to explore the wider area, reasonable walking or boating to Lamu and simple to organise trips to Manda. Plenty of eating options, from budget snacks and drinks to top end and walking and getting lost in Shela is such fun, not to be missed!

Very nice town, with a rich culture.
Very nice town, with a rich culture. We were there for four days and three nights, which was enough for us. The first stay we visited Lamu and walked around and visited the museums, as well as toured the alleys.
The second day we did a dhow trip over to the other island and then did the sunset cruise.
The following day we wandered through the alleys of Shela and visited the beach.
I would go back to visit the reefs and go snorkeling, as they are supposed to be pristine.
I thought that Peponi has a fantastic restaurant and matched quality with price. Bahari restaurant was nice for breakfast, but didn't eat their for lunch or dinner. I ate at a couple other hotels for dinner. While their prices matched Peponi's the quality of their food did not. Perhaps for variety, it would be worth visiting the other hotels for meals, but if you are looking for a special meal, I would stick to Peponi's.

Went to celebrate my birthday and it was my first time in Lamu. A simple request to shiban house to make it feel special, ended up being the best birthday surprise ever...Sada thank you, my heart is overwhelmed by how you managed to surprise me 😊. Joseph took excellent care of us and was ready to help us around. I must say, I feel fulfilled even as I have turned a year younger 😂😊😂. Thank you mapenzi too for the awesome breakfast we got every day.
Shela is the best place to be in lamu. You can access lamu town easily and learn so much about the history of it, ask for the best knowledgeable guy there called 'sunshine' locally. Its near peponi hostel and majlis resort.
Make a point of doing the sunset cruise 😊 . Definately 10/10.
