Shela House lies two degrees above the equator on the beautiful island of Lamu – the perfect place to forget the meaning of time (for a week or so). The houses are the epitome of comfort and luxury, perfect for families or groups of friends.

The house is built on three floors around a courtyard garden. Five en-suite bedrooms, a nursery, and a terrace with additional lounging areas provide acres of room in which to relax and unwind. Beach House is similarly decadent, with three bedrooms and an infinity pool on the first floor, complete with bar area and comfortable seating. Palm House is similar in style to Shela House, though a little more compact, with three en-suite bedrooms, one with four-poster bed and panoramic balconies. Each house comes with a minimum of three permanent staff.
