Betty's Suite

This is a stand-alone unit, with the manager, chef and steward on hand to serve your every need. You'll be supplied with a menu, and your meals will be prepared by your cook, who will shop for the ingredients, prepare the dishes and serve them in your private dining area or on the terrace. Your meal tariff is recorded on your account, which is always available for you to check.

Built for romance, Betty's Suite has a large double bedroom with an antique pilipili bed draped in mosquito netting, and an exotic bathroom with a traditional sunken bath that offers exceptional views. The elaborate entrance to the toilet is a fitting entrance to the "throne room"! On the covered terrace, low L-shaped couches with squashy floral hand-sewn cushions invite you to snuggle up and take in the views across the pool, gardens and palms to the ocean beyond.

Snorkel off the reefs from a traditional dhow, swim with a pod of dolphins that often passes through the waters here, or take in the sunset cruise along the shoreline. Explore Shela, a fishing village, and lose yourself in Lamu town's labyrinth of winding alleyways – Lamu is Kenya's oldest continually inhabited town, established as a Swahili settlement in 1370. Then head to Lamu harbour to see donkeys offloading goods, and stop to enjoy the catch of the day.
