Housemartin, nestled in the heart of Shela village, is a seamless fusion of Swahili craftsmanship, Islamic elegance and contemporary luxury.

Completed in 2012, this five bedroom retreat was brought to life under the expert eye of renowned Kenya-based designers Chris Payne and Emma Campbell.

INTERIOR

Spread across four floors, Housemartin's vibrant colours, stylish furniture and fabulous art make it a unique place to stay.

There are five spacious, airy bedrooms, each with its own en suite bathroom. The ground floor is home to a grand sitting and dining area, where high ceilings and traditional Swahili design create an inviting atmosphere. On the third floor, a second lounge opens onto a covered rooftop terrace, the perfect spot to unwind and take in the coastal breeze.

Start your evening at Hotel Peponi, where you'll find legendary cocktails and delicious food. Or take a sunset dhow cruise along the Lamu Channel. Enjoy the golden hues of the setting sun with fresh seafood and drinks on board. Lamu is a 10 minute boat ride away, a UNESCO World Heritage Site rich in history, Swahili architecture, and culture. Wander through its narrow alleyways, visit the Lamu Museum, and stop by the historic Lamu Fort.
