No Cars, No Stress
Lamu is an island on the north coast of Kenya, rich in culture, tradition, and natural beauty. Lamu Old Town, the oldest Swahili settlement in East Africa, is a UNESCO heritage site. The archipelago boasts a tropical climate, miles of empty beaches, and many options for accommodations to suit all budgets.
What else makes Lamu magical? We don’t have cars, just plenty of donkeys and boats. Without the stress and rush of modern life, it’s easy to feel a million miles away.
The simple and delicious Swahili cuisine is part of the reason Lamu is known as Kenya’s top health and wellness destination. We eat plenty of fresh fruit, vegetables, and seafood, and so will you.
We also spend lots of time enjoying the unspoiled beauty of our island. Jogging or walking on the beach, hiking in the dunes, swimming, sailing, snorkeling, fishing — and, of course, outdoor yoga and meditation are all part of island life.
Accommodation
We advise you to book your accommodation as early as possible, as October and November are busy months on the island and accommodations fill up quickly.
