We loved the position being tight on the beach , the restaurant was also looking over the beach with beautiful cool breezes. The staff are all very friendly and helpful

The units at the bed and breakfast feature private entrance and soundproofing so guests can enjoy a peaceful stay. Each unit comes with a kettle, a private bathroom and free WiFi, while some rooms come with a balcony and some have sea views. At the bed and breakfast, every unit is fitted with bed linen and towels. We loved the decor, the quiet situation and the breakfast served by Emmanuel who hosted perfectly. It felt like a real home, not an anonymous guest house. The beach was incredibly clean and despite the poverty very little was being hawked so it was truly peaceful. Shela is far preferable to Lamu.

Would absolutely go back, and recommend it to everyone going to Lamu!
