A perfect combination of beach hotel and coastal hideaway, Peponi Hotel is small and intimate and is still run by the original family who opened the hotel in 1967. Situated at the quiet end of Lamu Island, near the village of Shela just 24 rooms are divided into standard and superior room categories. The rooms are scattered throughout the grounds and all benefit from either ocean or garden views. Each of the rooms are individually decorated although all benefit from ceiling fans, mosquito nets, showers and fresh flowers. Watersports including windsurfing, diving and speedboats are available. There has also been an active Turtle Conservation Project operating at Peponi since 1992.
