Excellent location in the heart of Lamu town. I was given the choice of the available rooms. I loved the decor. Beautiful view of the sunrise from the terrace. Breakfast was so tasty. Muhammed also arranged a brilliant sunset boat trip for me for a great price.

We loved so much about Jua House: the coffee and pastries freshly baked on the premises every afternoon on the roof terrace with its stunning views of the town and the sea, the happy friendly staff, the sense of complete safety and relaxation, the Shela location looking over the rooftops, just minutes up from Peponi, Bahari and the beach, the delicious breakfast, the well-traveled regulars (some who have come to Lamu many times, and tellingly choose Jua). Gorgeous room, with hammock on the balcony, bonus outside shower, fridge, stylish toiletries. Nothing not to like. Just gorgeous.

The locations is a gem. Away from the HUSTLE AND BUSTLE OF LAMU. There is a great restaurant next door With delicious food and you can always pop over to Sheila (5 min boat ride) for some activity if you feel too quiet on the island 🏝️ 👍
