Lamu Island is part of the Lamu Archipelago in Kenya.Lamu offers some of the least developed coast, a peaceful tropical island with an exotic flavour, affording pristine white sand beaches lapped by the warm Indian Ocean.  In our view, a better taste of Swahili culture than you'll find on Zanzibar. It lies along the Kenyan coast north of Mombasa. This is an ideal destination for your honeymoon or for a romantic experience.

The island resorts and coastal towns are a popular destination for those wanting a relaxing and revitalizing break after a safari or climbing up Mt Kilimanjaro or Mt.Kenya. Here life is lived at its own relaxed rhythm with a lot of history that is fascinating. It is for those who want to get away from it all! It offers a hypnotically exotic experience to the guest and made more enjoyable by the welcoming of the locals who are relaxed. They say that when you visit Lamu, you enter another world where life slows down and the days are spent exploring the town, strolling down the waterfront or relaxing on the beaches.

There are no vehicles in Lamu. Mode of transport is the donkey and dhow. This is because of the narrow streets that Lamu has. You can hire a donkey to take you around the town.

Lamu Island is surrounded by other islands namely Manda, Pate, Siyu and Kiwayu.
