Banana House

Banana House - Lamu Kenya coast

Banana House is situated in Shella in Lamu, about 50 metres from the sea. It has a large walled garden, with fantastic views of the dunes, the sea and the village. It is a 4 minute walking distance from Peponi Hotel and in a quiet area.

Banana House and Banana Wellness and Yoga Centre in Shela Village, Lamu, comprises two private houses which have evolved into a friendly 'Bed & Breakfast' alternative in Shela.

Rooms and living areas are, like all Retreats, simply and tastefully furnished in the classic Lamu Swahili style combining sumptuous Arabic elements with cool, clean surfaces and treasures combed from Lamu's beaches. You can either rent a room, a floor or the whole house.

On the ground floor, there are three (3) bedrooms, which can all be interconnecting and share two (2) bathrooms, making these ideal for families with young children if required. The four (4) first floor bedrooms are all ensuite, with hot water showers, and lead off the airy, covered dining area and living area with a sunbathing deck. The top floor boasts a private penthouse with double bedroom, private dining facilities, and veranda with sun-beds which are equally ideal for star-gazing and moon-bathing

Small Banana House is in the same garden and has a lovely ground floor apartment (1 bedroom/bathroom with separate toilet) and sleeps comfortable 2 but it can sleep 4 (using the living room). The house has direct access to the garden and has a very intimate atmosphere. The rooftop is also like an apartment with 1 bedroom, terrace, dining, swing-bed and the rooftop with benches to gaze at the stars.

Both houses are simple decorated with taste.
