    It’s a really beautiful place, the photos don’t do it justice, but it’s nice to arrive somewhere and find that rather than the other way around. Also, included in the price is your guide, airports transfers, a cook, a cleaner and a chef - again,...

Deuli House is a large private house featuring 4 suites, each with en-suite bathroom and private balcony overlooking the gardens plus a large self-contained apartment on the top floor with extensive views of the surrounding village and area. There's a large ground floor lounge with terrace leading onto the house's 2 mature gardens that feature fruit trees, flowers and beautiful birds. There's also a fully equipped kitchen where the house cook prepares meals or available to guests should they wish to use it. The The beach is a 2 minutes walk away.
I've grown up in Shela on Lamu Island, lived here all my life and know the village and surrounding area very well. I'm a certified tour guide and can speak fluent English, some Italian and Native Swahili.
Shela is a quiet historic small fishing village with no cars or roads. There are local shops selling food, household necessities and local crafts etc and everything is within a few minutes walking distance. Should you wish to travel further afield, a motorboat or sailing dhow can be arranged by our friendly manager.
