Special

The most peaceful, relaxing and enjoyable break I've had at the Kenyan Coast. The food was stunning, some of the best in Kenya let alone Lamu. Loved the eclectic vibe the terrace draws in during lunch and dinner. Service was friendly and discreet. Lovely rooms, lush grounds. Can't wait to come back!

Fantastic hotel with lots of character

A fantastic hotel with lots of character located in Shela just south of Lamu. The staff were welcoming, friendly and very good.
We ate there 3 nights and the food was the best we had in Kenya, a very good and long menu, catch your own fish and they will turn it into sashimi, ceviche or even a curry!
Shela is a great village just outside the back of the hotel and walkable. If you want to explore Lamu town, you can get a guide from the hotel for 2,500 KSH and walk the town for 3 hours.
Transfers to and from the airport included and welcome drink on arrival is refreshing after a journey.
Look forward to returning to the Peponi and would highly recommend, we do wish we stayed longer once we had left!

Can't wait to go back!

Fantastic hotel with amazing ocean views and room only feet away from the beach. Felt very welcome from the moment we got there and the service and meals were all-round very good. They also did great work immersing us in the beautiful culture of Lamu and happy to see that they work closely with the local community there.
Hope to be back very soon!

Best restaurant in Shela

Nicest hotel and restaurant in Shela on Lamu island. Haven't stayed there but have frequently eaten there. It is in a perfect situation on the sea, very busy over Christmas and New Year but otherwise a wonderful place to appreciate all that Shela has to offer.
