Wazi Dubu, Kizingoni Beach

Wazi Dubu House sits on the southern tip of Lamu Island, on a wide, deserted beach; far from crowds, yet within easy reach of charming local villages by boat. Lamu Island is part of the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Lamu Archipelago, renowned for its rich Swahili culture, narrow winding streets, coral stone architecture, and centuries-old mosques. The remoteness is part of the charm: no cars, no traffic, just sand, sea, and sky.

During your stay, the villa’s team can arrange boat rides to neighbouring islands such as Manda and Kiwayu, snorkelling over vibrant coral reefs, private fishing trips, or sunset cruises with playful dolphins. Cultural highlights abound: explore Lamu Town’s labyrinthine streets, visit the Lamu Museum, witness traditional dhow building, or join local artisans creating carved doors, textiles, and jewellery. Stop by Shela Village for boutique shopping, local cafes, and Swahili cuisine, or experience the vibrant festivals and dhow races that celebrate centuries of island heritage. For a seamless mix of adventure, culture, and tranquillity, there are few places that capture both pristine nature and living history like Lamu.
