Why Lamu Is the Perfect Honeymoon

A honeymoon should feel like the world has narrowed to just the two of you. On a quiet stretch of Ras Kitau Bay, looking across the channel to Shela village, The Majlis was made for exactly that — barefoot luxury, soulful heritage and the Indian Ocean at the end of your terrace.

A Suite That Opens to the Sea

Wake slowly to the sound of the water. Our suites and rooms are air-conditioned and full of Swahili-Italian character, many opening straight onto private terraces above the bay. For something truly special, the Royal Suite crowns the resort with panoramic sea views and a terrace made for lingering. Browse the rooms.

Private Dinners and Dhow Sunsets

Dining here is as intimate as you wish. Ask for a table set on the sand, a private dinner beneath the stars, or a sundowner carried out onto a dhow as the sail catches the last of the light. Across three distinctive restaurants — Pan-Asian at Umi, coastal Italian at Mediterraneo and all-day dining at Breeze — every evening can feel like a celebration. See dining.

Slow Down at the Sanctuary

Between the swims and the sails, the Wellness Center is a place to exhale together — hammam-inspired therapies and aromatic oil massages in cool, lantern-lit calm, an open-air yoga shala at sunrise, and pools that step down toward the seafront. Discover wellness.

Seclusion, Seen To

What makes a Lamu honeymoon is the sense of being wonderfully far away — yet cared for in every detail, from the flight transfer to the flowers on the table. Whether you want to be seen by no one or celebrated by everyone, our team quietly makes it happen.
