Tamarind House 1st Floor

John MRating, 5 stars1 month ago

His description does not really do it justice! It is far bigger than you will expect and easily accommodate 6 without issues. Best thing though, was Abdillah himself. Friendly, helpful and a great tour guide around the village of Shela. This has been his home his entire life and it shows. I would recommend anyone wanting a relaxing yet exciting vacation, long or short, to visit Shela and stay in his place. We will be returning next year with our children! Give thanks Abdillah One Love

Jane was very helpful even before our trip, her house, Jaha is definitely prettier than the pictures.

Shanti Beach House - Lamu - Kenya

AnthonyRating, 5 stars1 month ago

Wow Wow Wow, what an amazing place. If you are looking for absolute peace and tranquility then Shanti House in Lamu is the place to go. Amazing setting right on the beach with breathtaking sunset, great beach walks, etc. The staff where great and Steven the house assistant was there to help with anything when needed. Although there is great restaurants around, no need to go out and look for restaurants as the chef Katana was amazing and his food was spectacular. I highly recommend Shanti House for anyone looking for an amazing beach holiday experience.

The location is just right for those up for a walk through Shela back to the peaceful, secluded sand dunes. Make sure to take a walk up to the dunes to watch the sunset—breathtaking view.
