overview

Set on the tranquil Indian Ocean island of Lamu, Banana House offers an unforgettable Kenyan beach holiday experience. This elegant private guesthouse is all about relaxation: kick back with yoga classes and rejuvenating treatments and massages from the wellness centre.

You can relax further on one of the daybeds or in a lazy hammock; take a stroll around the tropical gardens, have a dip in the pool or sit back and watch the sunset while on a romantic sailing dhow cruise. For those who want things a bit more active, explore the islands of the beautiful Lamu Archipelago on a day trip, discover the area's coral reefs on a snorkelling or diving excursion, or even take in a Swahili drumming workshop.
