Set on the warm, languid waters of the Indian Ocean, the Lamu Archipelago is an idyllic escape into paradise surrounded by massive coconut palm trees and soft sands where crabs wander.
Lamu, known as the cradle of Swahili civilization, has been a key religious center in East and Central Africa since the 19th century, drawing scholars of Islam and Swahili culture.
Lamu, on Kenya’s Northern Coast, has 130km of coastline, mangroves, coral reefs, forests, savannahs with wildlife, and an archipelago of 60+ islands.
Year-round
Fly to Manda Airport on Manda Island from major Kenyan airports, including Nairobi. An airport pickup and a 5-minute boat ride to Lamu Island are provided by your lodge.

Set in Shela village, Jannah was inspired by both its surrounding marine backdrop as well as the bespoke imaginings of its sister property Eden in Nairobi.
Touting itself as a “no shoes, no news” experience, Manda Bay is a charming boutique lodge set on the warm, languid waters of the Indian Ocean and an idyllic escape into paradise.
