Description:

Beautiful beachfront house, on Shela Beach in Lamu, with stunning 270 degrees sea views on Indian Ocean. Stunning location and exquisitely finished. It is ideal place to spend holidays with family or friends, relax, enjoy the pristine beach and its activities, and discover lamu, the rich Swahili culture and its welcoming atmosphere. Forodhani is backed by village, facing the beach and jetty at the very spot where decades ago stood a watch-post (forodhani in Kiswahili) that controlled the ships and passengers entering and exiting the Lamu archipelago. Its location, right on Shela beach is truly stunning.
