Welcome to The Majlis, a small luxury beach hotel in the Lamu archipelago.

The Majlis occupies a unique location on the exclusive Manda Island facing the world-renowned Lamu on Kenya’s North Coast (East Africa).  The privately-owned hotel offers 25 superbly-appointed suites in understated elegance reflecting Lamu’s local tradition and style.   With superb seafront views over the Ras Kitau bay and Shela village, guests enjoy an idyllic setting to relax and make the most of the archipelago’s charm and activities.  The Majlis is only accessible by boat, a short 10- minute ride from Lamu Town, a UNESCO World Heritage site.

In Arabic, the name ‘Majlis’ refers to a special place where hosts entertained their most important guests and families in style and comfort.  “Karibu”, or welcome, in Swahili.
