Welcome to Milele House, an enchanting three-story villa (475m²) designed in traditional Swahili style. At the heart of the home lies a picturesque Lamu courtyard, inviting serenity and relaxation. The villa offers views of the Indian Ocean from the rooftop, shaded by a traditional makuti roof, made from palm leaves to provide a cool, protective haven.
Our guests will enjoy the comfort of three beautifully appointed bedrooms: two with double beds, and one featuring a bunk bed and a single bed, perfect for families or groups. Additionally, there’s a unique queen-size bed nestled in a special nook for a restful retreat.
To enhance your stay, our attentive housekeeper has a designated room and bathroom on the ground floor, ensuring that every aspect of your visit is taken care of.
We look forward to welcoming you and making your stay as comfortable and memorable as possible.
Hello, my name is Tarik Sanchez. I spent my early years in Lamu until the age of 5 before moving to Mombasa at 12. My roots run deep in this region, with my mother and half of my family hailing from here. Together with my mother, I am proud to offer our childhood home and other beautifully designed properties for your stay.
