The Majlis
About The Majlis
Located on the pristine shores of Manda Island in the Lamu Archipelago, The Majlis is an intimate retreat that blends traditional Swahili design with contemporary luxury. The coastline here is defined by soft, white sands and the turquoise waters of the Indian Ocean, far removed from the bustle of mainland tourist hubs. The accommodation is housed in airy, spacious villas featuring intricate plasterwork, carved wooden furniture, and grand verandas. Guests can enjoy a mix of relaxation and coastal adventure, from dhow sailing trips through the mangroves to exploring the historic alleys of Lamu Town. It is a sophisticated escape that emphasizes cultural immersion and seaside tranquility, offering a serene counterpoint to the intensity of a bush-based safari adventure.
Why we like it
The combination of high-end design and the authentic cultural heritage of the Lamu Archipelago creates an atmosphere that feels both exclusive and deeply rooted in local history.
