Our take

About The Majlis Resort

The Majlis is an elegant boutique hotel located on Manda Island in the Lamu Archipelago, offering a luxurious beachfront escape framed by the shimmering waters of the Indian Ocean. The Majlis provides a serene, exclusive atmosphere perfect for both relaxation and adventure on Kenya’s historic coastline.

Built using local materials and blending seamlessly into its surroundings, The Majlis exudes a sense of laid-back sophistication. The hotel combines Lamu’s rich cultural heritage with modern comfort, offering personalised service in a setting of barefoot luxury. Surrounded by lush gardens, white sand beaches and ancient baobab trees, it invites guests to experience a slower, more authentic pace of life, while still enjoying refined amenities and a warm, welcoming environment.

We recommend The Majlis Resort selectively according to season, routing, room availability and the experience offered by the other stops in your itinerary.
