Located in the heart of Lamu, along the shorefront cum harbor, this quaint hotel is situated at the pulse of the town. Perhaps the widest paved walkway stretches alongside the hotel's attractive entrance and veranda, and makes a perfect spot to stop for a refreshing drink or a cup of coffee even if you are not staying at the hotel and while you watch the island's daily 'activities' unfold before you. Don't be surprised if a friendly vendor stops to offer you some fresh mangoes from baskets piled high on the back of his donkey, or a friendly bunch of children en-route from school call out a cheerful greeting - here emphasis is on friendliness rather than hindrance.
After a 90-minute flight from Nairobi or 45-minute flight from Mombasa, you will be met at Manda Island. You then travel by boat to Lamu Island
 

 

Walk through the Lamu Palace entrance's massive solid doors delicately carved with brass hinged and studded wooden panels and a cheerful member of staff elegantly dressed in local attire (a long white jelaber & fez) welcomes you.
