The Cabanas sit on the quiet and unspoilt South West Coast of Lamu Island – the island’s main beach starts at Kizingoni, curves around the southern tip of the island and stretches a further 8 golden miles to Shela Village. It is virtually empty, apart from myriad crabs, migrant and local sea birds, shells and the occasional troop of donkeys.
There are not many empty and unspoilt stretches of beach like this left in the world – offering peace seclusion, cooling breezes and clean seas – yet all the historic, cultural, retail and culinary attractions of Lamu Town and Shela Village – together with the airport on Manda Island – are just a 30-minute speedboat ride away.
The swimming, snorkelling, walking and beachcombing is excellent and other watersports are available. Nearby are two low-key beach lodges – Kizingo and Kipungani Explorer – each has an attractive bar and restaurant open to non-residents. The sleepy, friendly and unspoilt fishing village of Kipungani lies a mile or so to the north.
Lamu is best accessed by air and there are several scheduled flights per day to and from Nairobi. Some flights also arrive or depart via Malindi. Airlines serving Lamu include :
- Safarilink (from Wilson Airport) www.flysafarilink.com
- Jambo Jet (from JKIA) www.jambojet.com

Lamu Airstrip is situated on the next door Manda Island which is just a few minutes by boat from Lamu Town and Shela Village.
