THE FORT L A M U, K E N YA
Magnificient
Seaside
Sanctuary Cocooned amongst the dunes of Shela Beach on the island of Lamu, The Fort epitomises absolute privacy and seclusion. When you know the beach is 14 kilometres long, exclusivity is definitely added to the list of reasons to visit this magnificent seaside sanctuary. Here peace and tranquility are a given, as are personalised service and ever-warm hospitality.
Built as recently as 2001, The Fort has distinct presence and personality, as if it has always been there. Rooms are exquisitely spacious and minimalist, with polished screeded floors, art and traditional furniture collected from around the world. Beds draped in clouds of netting. Vastly airy and light drenched, each suite has a beautiful view of ocean or garden, and most also look into the cosseted central courtyard and sparkling pool. The Fort is truly the ultimate secluded getaway and living example of fine and unfettered living.
Escape the
Ordinary
While there is endless beach to walk or run and a tepid ocean to swim in, The Fort also has a spa with a massage area and steam bath – and there’s a dedicated yoga area too. Relaxation and restoration are high priority here, along with decadent and vibrantly healthy cuisine – all freshly prepared and mostly from the sea. It’s an East African oasis par excellance, and having exclusive use of The Fort makes for a dream holiday experience.
