We had an amazing experience and would definitely stay here again! It was my second time and Kijani and my family's first time. Tina and Lavender at reception went above and beyond to make sure we were as comfortable as possible - we requested a pedestal fan for the bathroom of one of our rooms as it felt a little stuffy after a shower, and they delivered it to our room within 15 minutes, and anytime we requested ice or a snack it was delivered to us promptly. All the staff were exceptionally friendly, helpful and professional - particularly Steven and Sipi. They provide a daily turn down service which is very useful to keep the mosquitos out. The hotel itself is gorgeous and the decor is charming. The pool and garden areas are also lovely - we enjoyed our time at the hotel as much (if not more) than at the beach. We were in rooms 4 and 5. Room 4 is more spacious but both rooms were very comfortable and included massive verandas with a very sturdy hanging bed that was great to relax on. The food is also delicious and there are a variety of lovely spots to dine in, besides the rooftop restaurant. The cherry on the cake are all the tortoises (big and small) that really add to the overall charm of the place.

The location was easy to find and we felt safe moving around in the area after dark. The Queen Deluxe room was great. The staff was caring and attentive. The room was clean. The “balcony” or the open room near bedroom was beautiful, cozy and pleasant to spend time at. There were mosquito nets on the bed. It is obvious that lots of love and effort has been put into restoration of the building.

From the moment we arrived, Milimani Villa felt like somewhere truly special. The villa itself is beautiful, peaceful, spacious, and has that perfect Shela atmosphere where you can completely slow down and enjoy yourself. The views, the setting, the pool, and the overall feeling of the place made our stay incredibly relaxing. One of the biggest highlights for us was the food. The chef’s cooking was honestly exceptional — every meal was delicious, beautifully prepared, and felt so personal. We genuinely looked forward to every meal and would happily come back just for the food alone! The staff were another huge part of what made our stay so wonderful. Everyone was incredibly kind, welcoming, helpful, and attentive without ever being intrusive. They made us feel completely at home from beginning to end. And the owner deserves a special mention. He is genuinely an amazing person — warm, accommodating, thoughtful, and someone who clearly cares about his guests and their experience. That personal touch made the stay even more memorable. Milimani Villa is the kind of place you leave already thinking about when you can come back. We absolutely loved our time here, and I honestly cannot recommend it enough. If you’re looking for a beautiful, peaceful, comfortable and genuinely special place to stay in Shela, Milimani Villa is the place. We will definitely be coming back! ❤️

Great cheaper option in Shela, perfect location just a few minutes walk to the beach. The room was clean and had a fan for the heat, and there is a nice pool. Staff were helpful and friendly, the continental breakfast was okay, they offered a Swahili option for the second day but I unfortunately had to leave early before trying but I would recommend asking for that if you're interested. Overall I think it was a great option for the price, and I would stay again :)

After a slight misunderstanding as to the day or arrival, Elizabeth and Cornelius promptly managed to solve the issue and pick us up and have the house ready for us. The staff was always courteous and available to help us. Steven, the cook, cooked wonderful meals as per our requests and we settled all bills directly with him. The swimming pool is marvelous and the terrace is also a wonderful spot when the breeze flows. Highly reccomendable if you prefer to stay in Lamu old Town to explore historic sights, rather than in Shela.

A remarkable property, full of history and character, and stylishly decorated. Our quiet room and private terrace at the back of the hotel overlooked charming rooftops, with dhows on the sea in the distance. The multiple pools, each set in its own secluded courtyard, are perfect for relaxing after a day exploring the island or the historic Old Town, and the waterside restaurant is totally delightful. Best of all, the team are so warm, welcoming and genuine - they really embody the spirit of Lamu and Kenya.

Lovely property, with 3 pools and great AC in rooms. Beautiful decor, no details overlooked. Very nice general staff. A very nice resort for a short stay as one easily tires of lunch/dinner selection.
