There is a large variety of accommodation available on Lamu Island, from friendly, basic budget accommodation in small locally-owned guest houses, to exclusive accommodation in privately-owned houses and boutique hotels. There is something to suit all budgets and individual requirements.

Lamu Town is ideal for those searching for the cultural experience of Lamu, shops open late in the evening, the local fish and vegetable market near the town square, the busy dhow harbor, narrow cool streets, mosques, donkeys, carts and veiled women, and the atmosphere of an old town which has changed little in the last 200 years. If you are staying in Lamu Town you can visit Shela or Manda beaches by boat, as Lamu Town itself has no beach.

For those who prefer to be near the beach, and perhaps visit the town sometime during their stay in Lamu, Shela Village is 3kilometres South of Lamu town, or a 15 minute boat ride away. The fabulous 15kilometre Shela Beach starts here, the village is sheltered from the open sea, overlooking the channel between Manda and Lamu Islands. For those who prefer complete privacy and seclusion, there is Kipungani and Kizingo on the South-Western tip of the island, about 40 minutes by boat from Lamu and Manda Airport, Kiwayu Island about 40 miles North of Lamu, Manda Bay or Manda Beach on Manda Island. Competitive Air Packages to all the following properties are available on request, from Nairobi, Malindi or Mombasa.. All these properties offer guided excursions and dhow trips, as well as boat transfers from Manda Airport.
