Among the facilities at this property are a housekeeping service and bicycle parking, along with free WiFi throughout the property. Staff on-site can arrange airport transfers. The house is wonderful, spacious, luxury and quiet. Bassam is a great host and the staff are excellent too. We had a great time exploring from here or just enjoying doing nothing much at all. It is a bit outside Shela, but not that far and a nice village walk.
Lamu
Umma House has a terrace and is situated in Lamu, within just 400 metres of Lamu Museum and 500 metres of Lamu Fort. Guests staying at this villa have access to a balcony. Free WiFi is available throughout the property and 18th Century Swahili House Museum is 200 metres away. We had a truly memorable and amazing experience staying 4 nights & 5 days at Umma house. We had a warm and welcoming greeting from the staff Zeinab and Farid who were amazing. Zeinab stayed in contact the whole time and she booked all of our activities for us. We gave her a budget and what we wanted and she made sure everything was organised and that our stay was stress free so we could just focus on enjoying Lamu. On our last day she let us check out later at 1pm because our flight was at 2:55 which was amazing so we could enjoy our final houra. Farid is the young house keeper and he was exceptional. He did all of the house work including laundry, dishes, ironing, cleaning the house and pool everyday and he even went out to the markets to get our groceries. He was so friendly and we were able to go with him to the markets and he showed us around and was helpful with anything we needed. If he is there you can ask him to show you around and he is very enthusiastic to do whatever you need to make the most of your stay in Lamu. The house itself is beautiful and we spent a lot of time in the pool and on the rooftops for sunset drinks. There are lots of different areas in the house to relax including 3 different balconies / roof tops. The best bedroom in the house is located on the top floor which has a lot of stairs so may not be suitable for elderly or people who struggle getting up stairs. This didnt bother us though and we got used to it quickly, it is so worth it for the amazing big bedroom! Umma house is located in Lamu old town so you are bound to hear the mosques and prayers but it is a beautiful way to experience the true essence and culture of Lamu and the prayers only last 5-10 minutes at most. If you are easily disturbed by loud noises then maybe bring ear plugs but if you are genuinely interested in the rich culture of Lamu then it should not be a problem.

Very clean and friendly staff, the villa is cozy and there’s many spaces to relax on. Everything worked well and the Umma house team catered to all our needs. It’s better to prepare because there is a lot of mosquitoes
Beautiful house with private pool, spacious bedrooms and several terraces to hang out on. Great location in old Lamu, close to shops, museums and the sea with great boat rides to wonderful beaches Manda and Shela.
Large and lovely private terrace with a beautiful view of the water. Clean and spacious room. Central Shela, it's easy to reach all you need in the village. Breakfast was fine and the staff were all very polite and friendly! Would recommend.
The location of Subira House could not be better if you wish to live in Lamu village. The staff as well as Christina were both helpful and friendly. I felt at home. Excellent value for money
Delicious home made breakfast from the in house bakery, a great team to look after you and a lovely airy place with lots of calm spaces to escape the heya and hustle of the village. I 100% recommend Jua House, especially for solo travelers and those wishing to avoid the hassle of renting a house.

All the staff are soo friendly and helpful🥰. Location is perfect,in Shella village where it is calm and quiet... and within walking distance from the jetty and places for quick bites...the place is clean with some of the best rooftop views in Shella Island🥰 You also get hot showers since the island can get a little cold sometimes. Accepts multiple payment options - card,cash,mpesa etc.
The serenity and beauty of the resort is what blew us away and made our stay extra special. So many cozy nooks in the villas to relax in, take a photo, put your feet up or read a book. The suite we stayed in was so cozy and had in our view the best view on the island. The Majlis staff are extremely polite and hardworking. We were impressed and enjoyed having conversations with them from time to time.
