Doors of Lamu.

Shela Village on Lamu Island is a laid-back bohemian beach paradise that often gets overlooked by visitors. Located just two miles from Lamu Old Town, Shela offers a more relaxed vibe with upscale boutique accommodations, waterfront restaurants, and a beautiful white sand beach. Whether you're looking to immerse yourself in local culture or simply enjoy a beach holiday with all the comforts of home, Shela has something for everyone. Plus, it's just a short walk or boat ride away from the historic charm of Old Town.
