Area: Ras Kitau, Manda Island. Beach relationship: beachfront.
The Majlis occupies the Ras Kitau shore of Manda Island, across the channel from Lamu and Shela. The setting gives guests a proper beach-resort base while keeping the archipelago’s historic towns and dhow routes within easy reach by boat.
Why Wilderness Alternative might select it
It is a strong choice when travellers want Lamu’s culture and sailing without giving up pools, generous rooms and a self-contained resort. Families and couples can be accommodated comfortably within one property.
Rooms and layout
Current categories include Garden Superior and Sea View Deluxe rooms, connecting Family rooms, two-bedroom Royal Suites and Junior Suites. Position and configuration should be matched to the group.
Beach, pool and dining
Two pools, beach access, restaurants, wellness and boat transfers support the stay. Excursions to Lamu Old Town, Shela and the wider archipelago are arranged separately.
Who it suits
Families, couples, honeymooners and guests wanting a polished beach base.
Trade-offs
The resort is on Manda rather than within Lamu Old Town or Shela, so every village visit involves a boat. Guests prioritising immediate cultural immersion may prefer an island-town property.
Planning this stay
Wilderness Alternative can include this property within a tailored Lamu beach, family or safari-to-island journey. Final room selection depends on party size, children, twin or double preference and current availability. Journey pricing varies by travel date, meal plan, room configuration and group size, so we quote the complete itinerary rather than publish an unstable room rate.
