Staying at Chuchungi is not just about having your own captivating corner of Lamu, it’s the whole experience, which is carefully tailored by a can-do team of attentive staff. A day might start with a delicious breakfast that includes tropical fruit, granola and eggs before a beach walk or yoga on the rooftop. Getting out on the water is irresistible here – try your hand at water-skiing or take a gentle paddleboard. Take a trip to cultural Lamu Old Town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and the oldest and best-preserved Swahili settlement in east Africa then pop into boho institution Hotel Peponi’s for lunch. End the day with a sunset dhow cruise drifting around the idyllic islets of the Lamu Archipelago.
