Peponi Hotel

Peponi Hotel in Lamu Kenya coast

Peponi is a small hotel right at the water's edge in Shela Village - a few kilometres from Lamu Town. Owned and run by the same family who opened it in 1967, the atmosphere at Peponi Hotel is simple, elegant and relaxed.

Peponi Hotel offers Lamu beach holiday 24 superior and standard rooms. Each of the rooms is different from the other and superior rooms are differentiated by their location, size and decor. Five of the rooms are built right on the beach, with private verandas overlooking the sea, while the rest have a combination of ocean and garden views. All the rooms have mosquito nets and overhead fans and are decorated with indoor plants, artwork and Swahili furnishings.

The bar overlooks the ocean and in the evenings the 'table d'hote' and 'a la carte' menus offer some exceptional seafood dishes.

You can engage in a number of activities while staying at the Peponi hotel some of which include snorkeling, windsurfing, PADI scuba diving (beginner to instructor courses between November and March), water-skiing and deep sea fishing. Speed boat charters are also available for anyone wishing to explore the further reaches of the archipelago.
