Lamu Tamu is an ancient phrase that when directly translated, simply means; “Lamu is Sweet”. This was the best way locals and visitors alike could describe the coastal escape that is Lamu. Lamu is where you go to unwind, it best defines the break in “taking a break”.
You go to Lamu to forget the world and be hypnotized by the rising sun shimmering off the Indian Ocean. Your days are spent looking out at warm blue waters and white sandy beaches as far as the eye can see as you bask under the warm African sun while sipping on ice cold beverages of your choice.
Lamu is best enjoyed in one of many luxury beach properties owned by secretive celebrities. These properties are built to ensure that you get to enjoy the ultimate in privacy with private beaches all to yourself and your friends with only the occasional intrusion from your personal chef and housekeeper as they cater to your needs.
