The Majlis, Manda Beach, Lamu

Idyllic and individual, designed and decorated in elegant and eclectic Swahili-Italian style, it’s the perfect destination for a sophisticated break at the beach. “Originally a second home for an Italian family, this Lamu hideaway quickly grew into something too good not to share. Today its founder’s sons, Federico and Stefano Moccia, preside over a boutique resort in the truest sense of the phrase. The seaside castaway seclusion of Manda Island, steeped in Swahili, Arab and Indian influences, met a dream team of architects and artists, including Julian Schnabel. The result is a hotel thick with personality, a place whose every square foot feels thoughtfully, intentionally designed. In the end it’s less like a hotel, perhaps, than an impeccably tasteful guest house – perhaps not surprising, given its origins – albeit a guest house which sprawls across three separate villas, and whose rooms and suites are outfitted with every luxury-hotel comfort. Add to that three pools, a long, gorgeous beach, cocktail bars and open-air restaurants specializing in local seafood, and you’ll quickly find yourself casting about for reasons to return.” The Michelin Guide Highlights: Escape and enjoy La Dolce Vita at this stylish and indulgent beachfront retreat; Refined, romantic and atmospheric accommodation among the palms and baobabs of Manda Beach; Conceived and created with architectural flair, art and imagination; Enjoy three inviting swimming pools, three delicious restaurants and four bars; Welcoming and efficient service.
