Baytil Ajaib

Baytil Ajaib Lamu Kenya coast

Wealthy Arab merchants dominated the Swahili Culture through business, religion and social structure for over 2,000 years. The wealth of these merchants was manifested in the palatial town houses they lived in. Baytil Ajaib (The House of Wonder) is one such structure. The restoration completion coupled with the furnishing of the interior with authentic Swahili furniture allows the discerning traveller to bathe in a splendour that has long since been forgotten.
    
Baytil Ajaib (The House of Wonder) has been painstakingly renovated over the last 8 years by affable owner, Paul Weaver, who has divided the original Swahili town house into a series of suites and double rooms whilst managing to lose none of its original splendour.

Baytil Ajaib offers 2 double apartments and 2 double suites. All apartments and suites have their own private bathrooms. There are also scattered seating arrangements in Baytil Ajaib for those that may want to curl up and read in some other part of the house.

Baytil provides a flexible service and for those who want to get in on the action they can help arrange the menu. The dining hall is on the ground floor. And of course for those who can't quite make it to the breakfast table, can have it served in their room.
