Subira House  

In the heart of Old Lamu Town, this 200-year-old coral-stone, Arabian-style guesthouse sits inside the UNESCO-listed old town. It’s less than 984 feet from the seafront and about 1.9 miles from the white sandy beach, with boat access to Lamu Airport.

Historic bones meet breezy terraces and two lush gardens for a quietly stylish stay. Bright rooms have patios or balconies, fans, seating and dining areas; some offer sea views and free Wi‑Fi.

This eco-friendly spot serves healthy organic cuisine and has a laid-back bar, library, sunny terraces and massage facilities. Active guests can dive, snorkel, swim with whale sharks, canoe or join yoga and day trips to a permaculture farm. On-site practicalities include packed lunches, room service, babysitting, transfers, laundry, an ATM and private check-in/out — perfect for slow-paced island mornings.

Free Wi‑Fi in rooms and public areas keeps you connected. Transfer and private check-in/out services make arrival and departures easy.

Start with a free daily buffet breakfast at the restaurant. The kitchen focuses on healthy organic dishes, offers packed lunches and room service, and holds a wine licence for relaxed evening drinks.
