overview

Lamu Island is situated within a beautiful archipelago off the coast of Kenya and it is here, just outside this traditional town, that you'll find The Red Pepper House. Ideal for romantics, these chalets offer a quiet privacy, traditional Swahili charm, and colonial luxury. With only five Nyumbas (houses) that are all built along a secluded, and unspoiled beach and backed by a tropical forest, you'll enjoy absolute privacy and the feeling of being far removed from reality.

Spend hours purely lazing on the beach and dipping in the turquoise Indian Ocean. If you do, however, feel like exploring, then you can head into the forest and see many birds and small animals. Back toward the beach you'll come across excellently preserved mangroves where you may even spot sea turtles laying their eggs. Enjoy rides on traditional dhows boats and perhaps even enjoy your delicious evening meal on one of these sailing boats while you gaze up at the African night sky.
