Shella Village, Lamu

Property Description

“Kisimani House” is an enchanting 4-storey villa on the seaward side of Shella Village on Lamu Island, on approximately 0.083 of an acre.  Originally built in the 18th Century, the ground floor with it’s courtyard, arched columns and intricate carved plaster work, have been carefully restored into a magnificent seaside palace.

Each floor has a large ensuite bedroom with a private indoor/outdoor verandah, whilst the communal 1st floor terrace with divan seating allows for a delightful ‘al fresco’ dining and social experience.

At the top of the house is a ‘moondeck’ with stunning views over the village, dunes and the sparkling sea beyond. An intricately carved doorway leads from the entrance through a 5-minute maze of pathways to the jetty, Peponi Hotel and 12km of empty beach beyond.
