About The Majlis

Idyllic, Luxurious,
Stylish, Unique

Refined elegance on a quiet stretch of Ras Kitau Bay, looking across the channel to Shela village. The Majlis blends the sophistication of Italian design with Swahili soul — a boutique escape in the heart of the Lamu Archipelago, where barefoot luxury meets soulful heritage.

Leimi B. · Guest

The Majlis Resort was everything I wanted for a peaceful and luxurious escape. During my stay, the resort was quite busy, but the staff handled the increased demand with grace and kindness. Despite the full resort, I never felt like I was just one of many guests. The team worked hard to ensure each guest was treated with personal care and attention, making my experience all the more special.
