The Majlis Resort is one of the best hotels in Lamu which was built nearly 20 years ago as a private family retreat. It has become a premier boutique hotel offering one of the most luxurious experiences available on the Kenyan coast. Named after an Arabic term for a beautiful place for entertaining honored guests. It has quickly become a renowned luxury destination within the Lamu Islands.

The islands were already known for their beautiful resorts, eclectic blend of cultures, an abundance of entertainment venues, notable locations, and sights worth seeing. To stand out in this environment shows how exceptional the Majlis Lamu Resort is. Guests praise the friendly staff, an abundance of beautiful sights, and a truly peaceful environment fostered by the Majlis Resort staff.

Travelers with an eye towards the well-being of their destinations will appreciate the Majlis Resort’s dedication to its local community and the environment. The Majlis Lamu contributes to a number of associations committed to the betterment of Kenya and its peoples, hires 95% of its staff locally, and directly supports local soccer teams and orphanages.

The resort also emphasizes eco-friendly technology and endeavors. The Majlis Lamu provides its own electricity – it has made a rapid move away from gasoline towards alternative power sources such as solar panels and wind turbines. General green principles such as judicious recycling, locally-sourced ingredients, and building materials, and eco-friendly pest control methods all contribute to making the Majlis Resort not only a pleasant premier destination for guests but one they can feel proud to have supported.
