Kilamawingu brings together all the most beautiful elements of a Lamu holiday; stylish Swahili-inspired interiors, a swimming pool, glorious tropical gardens, a wonderful house team and a setting just minutes from the delights of Shela and its eponymous, 12km beach. The house welcomes 14 guests over 7 en suite bedrooms. Interiors are elegant and the owners have finished the house with traditional art and antiques. Large windows and doors throughout make the most of the breezes that filter up to the house from the sea with air-conditioners adding to the comfort of those guests who prefer to sleep in cooler conditions. Generous terraces throughout, including a wonderful roof terrace, mean that guests have the space to be together or can search out a holiday ‘nook’ to call their own. The excellent house team are the cherry on the Kilamawingu cake and your house cook will create delicious, East African inspired dishes throughout your stay. We look forward to welcoming you to enjoy this very special house.
