1 Complimentary airport transfer (pick-up at airport upon arrival & drop-off to airport upon departure)

Nothing can beat the chill vibes at Jahazi House. Nestled on Kizingoni Beach, this cute African gem is accessible by boat only. It is more of a private hideaway with fewer tourists. This is a typical Swahili house. Traditional design and unparalleled
culinary experience meet at the shaded bar of the beautiful makuticovered veranda. What can be more lovely than sitting here and enjoying a delicious meal, while watching the exotic dhows come and go. And never miss the fun of the private swimming pool in the serene courtyard. Frangipani, jasmine and lime trees have been planted in abundance around the house, which comes fully staffed with a cook, room/table steward, laundress, boat captain and gardener.

No cars, no roads. No one is on the beach other than guests and the very occasional local or house staff. The traffic on the island is mostly about you and the donkeys.
Shela and Lamu towns are but a boat ride away. A dhow is available to hire for sundowners, lunch on a beach or day trip and can be arranged by Ali, your house manager.

***
COVID Info:
All the Jahazi House staff is vaccinated against Covid. PCR tests can be arranged by our staff at Lamu hospital (no waiting lines) prior to your return flight if required. Results are sent by email & mobile within 24 hours.

Beautiful house, amazing staff, best experience
My friends and I had the most wonderful time staying at Jahazi House. The house itself is beautiful and spacious and very comfortable. The house staff are truly wonderful and we ate the best food - truly a highlight from our entire time in Kenya. Excursions to Lamu and Shela were fun and the local guides that were arranged for us were wonderful. The owner is communicative and friendly and answered all of my questions promptly. You feel like you are on a deserted island in the best way. We cannot wait to return one day!
Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2022
