“The Pool House” got its name because it is one of the few private homes in Lamu town with a full size swimming pool. It was featured in the recently published book “Swahili Chic” by Bibi Jordan, and is generally considered one of the most beautiful private homes on the Island. The Pool House is situated in the old part of Lamu town, a medina of narrow alleyways where many of the grand old stone houses are located, about ten minutes walk from the historical town center. Through a beautiful antique front door one enters a true oasis of tranquility and fragrant gardens leading to three separate courtyards filled with tropical trees and plants. One of the courtyards contains the freshwater swimming pool from which fresh air cooled by the water floats through a series of interconnecting rooms and living spaces.

The Pool House can comfortably accommodate groups of 6 people and is ideal for two couples or family with children. It has also gained a reputation as a romantic honeymoon retreat.

A spacious dining room is at the center of the house, seating up to 12 people with rugs and antique furnishings, leading to a veranda overlooking the pool.

A Chakhi, your professional trained Chef will prepare you menus of exquisite lunches and dinners. The housekeeper is trained to prepare fruit smoothies and other cool specialty drinks, as well as tropical fruit cocktails.

Both principal bedrooms have their own dressing rooms, queen size beds, full bathrooms with hot and cold water, and sun terraces. The beds are beautiful, hand carved, four-poster affairs with yards of mosquito netting. The house is equipped with a backup power generator and its own well, and fresh, bottled water is available at all times.
