Forodhani House

Forodhani House is a beautiful holiday house set gently on Shela Beach, an eight-mile stretch of white sandy beach along Lamu on Kenya’s eastern coastline.
With a small, dedicated team running the house, privacy and an intimate beach escape are easy to imagine and feel.
There are only five en-suite bedrooms, all offering outstanding views over the Indian Ocean or out towards Lamu’s Old Town, from a small balcony.
An inviting swimming pool is the perfect place to cool down at the end of the day.

Dinner is served by the house chef who dishes up excellent meals—from seafood platters to fine meat dishes, international or local cuisine, the choice is yours.
Forodhani House accommodates up to 13 guests with five en-suite bedrooms, all with fantastic views from your balcony over the sea or out towards Old Lamu Town.
There is a kids’ playground and, for adults looking for a little pampering, a menu of massages is available.
Many excursions are on offer too, from water-based favorites to land-based discoveries.
