Peponi Hotel is a small boutique hotel in the fishing village of Shella on Lamu island, off Kenya’s north coast, perched at the start of a long secluded beach on the Indian Ocean and run by the Korschen family since 1967. Grown organically to 29 rooms, all with ocean views and en-suite bathrooms, it spans Standard, Superior and Family rooms, some with a private outdoor area and swing bed, plus three apartments with living and kitchen space.
Dining is at the Peponi restaurant, serving Swahili-influenced cuisine, with a bar. In an old Arab-style building with Swahili interiors, it retains the character of its origins as a four-room guesthouse, with more than 50 years of heritage. It offers island exploration and makes an ideal rest after safari. Independent and family-owned, it suits travellers seeking an intimate, characterful island hideaway and a barefoot post-safari retreat.
