Umma House

Lamu

Umma House has a terrace and is situated in Lamu, within just 300 metres of Lamu Museum and 500 metres of Lamu Fort. Guests staying at this villa have access to a balcony. The house is a beautiful gem within old lamu town. The architecture is stunning, the rooms are freshened by fans and the pool is great to escape the day’s heat. The house staff is incredibly helpful and Peter was a great caretaker. We would also warmly recommend arranging a tour of the old town and of shela, as well as a boat tour if one wishes, with Abu. Abu is knowledgeable and loves his job; he is a great storyteller and a great artist (ask to see his recycled art). Walking around Lamu with him and learning about this unique place from him was a wonderful experience.

Located in Shela, near Manda Beach and Mnarani House, Shiban House is a recently renovated property, featuring free WiFi, a fitness centre and terrace. The homestay features family rooms.

The house is large and clean and is well located in Shela. A very comfortable base to explore Lamu and its delights.
