The Story Behind the Majlis – One of the Most Stylish Luxury Resorts in Kenya

stylish luxury resorts in Kenya

Even though it has made its mark on every traveler's bucket list of Lamu Island hotels, not many of them know that The Majlis was never meant to be a resort. In fact, it was built as a family retreat from the pressures of the world.  

 

The story goes back in time when an Italian gentleman named Nanni and his wife Elena journeyed African length and breadth exploring its remote wildernesses and finding delight in the diversity of its people. They were mesmerized by the following things in Lamu

• the white-sailed dhows glide up the blue water of the Manda Channel
• the patient trains of donkeys ferrying sand in baskets on their backs
• the black-cloaked figures of the Swahili women
• the jade green domes of the island’s numerous mosques

The couple decided to make this place their home without even realizing that it will soon become one of the most stylish luxury resorts in Kenya.

 

Built from local bleached-white coral blocks and delicately styled to reflect a fusion of Italian style and Swahili culture, the villa stands strong elegantly above the silver sands. Designed to offer an African ‘home-away-from-home’ for all who visit, The Majlis was built with love and finished in beauty and offers royal suites, junior suites, and family suites, deluxe rooms with sea view, deluxe rooms with veranda, and superior rooms.

It is popular as a privately owned resort set on Manda Island in the Lamu archipelago off Kenya’s north coast. Offering world-class understated luxury, The Majlis is elegantly designed and boasts the best views of the breathtaking Ras Kitau bay. Only a 10 minutes boat ride to Lamu town, the hotel reflects Lamu’s traditional heritage with its subtle fusion of Swahili, Arabic, and Indian architectural influences.
