The Cabanas Lamu
The Cabanas offer cool, comfortable accommodation for families, couples, or single travellers. Each cabana has its own large netted double bed, bathroom, and private terrace, some made entirely of palm thatch, others with elevated coral foundations. Carefully sited to allow for maximum privacy, the cabanas are surrounded by indigenous trees, shrubs, and bird song.
Setting
Sited on a raised sand dune at the centre of a long beach, the Cabanas share a fabulous pool and dining area with panoramic views of the channel and the ocean, where chefs deliver a delicious daily menu. This beachfront sanctuary offers a unique blend of barefoot luxury and personal touches, inviting guests to immerse themselves in the peaceful beauty of the south side of Lamu Island.

The Cabanas Lamuβs individually sited, palm-thatch or coral-foundation cabanas, each with a private terrace and netted double bed, give every guest a sense of seclusion despite sharing a communal pool and dining area. The raised sand dune position on the south side of Lamu Island, with panoramic channel and ocean views, reinforces its barefoot-luxury character.β The SafariBando team
