Jahazi House, Lamu

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 makuti-covered 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.
