  Our fourth floor open terrace gave us hours of relaxation and pleasure looking out over the area, including the water. The staff was amazing. Very responsive, helpful and friendly.

  I had the most relaxing, solo - romantic experience at Jannah. I felt completely at peace in this unique and special place. The service was above and beyond, food excellent but it was the rooms that topped it all; beautifully designed in the old style of the area. Lamu is such an incredibly culturally diverse place on the Swahili coast. Where African, Arabic and Asian influences coexist so naturally. I can’t wait to return.

  Jannah was the most luxurious hotel I’ve ever stayed in! From the beautiful interior, amazing staff and incredibly comfortable beds it was an incredible experience. The view from the rooftop is unforgettable with the sunsets, sunrises and just relaxing in the day watching the beautiful views of shella and manda island. The breakfast is also really delicious, with a great mix of fruits, granolas and great coffee. 1000000% recommended by me.

  Jannah Lamu was absolutely amazing! The terrace and view from the room were spectacular and the rooftop deck is such a highlight (I hear they’re adding a pool soon, which will make it even better!) The location is perfect — quiet, relaxing, and just what you want in Shela. All the staff were fab, especially Chai, who is the sweetest and most friendly guy. The room was massive, with a full outdoor living area and a nicely stocked kitchen, and the decor throughout is tasteful and beautiful — everything feels carefully curated with style. They also have three fantastic dhows and a day aboard one sailing to Manda Bay Lodge was an amazing way to spend the day. I wouldn’t stay anywhere else in Lamu — Jannah Lamu is the perfect place to unwind and soak in the beauty of Shela! Thanks Chai and team for a most perfect weekend in Shela!

  We had a wonderful four-day stay in Shela, a true little paradise that combines modern comfort with authentic charm. The apartment is beautiful, perfectly equipped, and offers breathtaking views. The panoramic terrace is an incredible highlight, ideal for taking in the beauty of the surroundings and enjoying the unique atmosphere of the village. A heartfelt thank you to Chai, an exceptional host who truly made our stay unforgettable. Always attentive, available, and warm, he went above and beyond to ensure we felt comfortable and cared for at all times. From the airport welcome to our departure, everything was seamless, and his team reflected the same kindness and professionalism. Thanks to his thoughtful recommendations and deep knowledge of the area, we enjoyed unique experiences, including the magical sunset Dhow cruise, which we highly recommend. An incredible stay we will never forget, made extraordinary by Chai, his team, and the wonderful people of Shela and Lamu.
