Pamba House

Pamba House is an exceptional private beachfront residence on the fringes of sought-after Shela, redefining luxury, space and exclusivity in Lamu. Set within eight acres of secluded coastal grounds overlooking the Lamu Channel, this striking architect-designed retreat blends sculptural architecture with refined Swahili-modern interiors to create an atmosphere of effortless elegance and understated luxury.
Beautifully curated with a sophisticated palette of greens, greys and golds, the interiors combine hand-loomed textiles, antique fabrics and bespoke furniture crafted from reclaimed dhow wood. A cooling central atrium anchors the house, while expansive living and entertaining spaces open onto generous verandas and rooftop terraces with sweeping ocean and island views.

The property features a 14-metre swimming pool, pergola and baraza, teppanyaki kitchen, private gym, air-conditioned cinema rooms, lift and private speedboat. Just moments from Shela village and beach, yet wonderfully secluded, Pamba House offers the perfect balance of privacy, space and effortless access to Lamu's coastal charm.
Accommodating up to 12 guests across six spacious, air-conditioned ensuite bedrooms, Pamba House is an outstanding private retreat for those seeking an exclusive and beautifully considered Lamu experience.
