Lamu, Kenya
The Majlis Resort
On Manda Island at the edge of Lamu's protected archipelago, The Majlis Resort holds a Michelin Selected distinction for 2025, placing it among a small cohort of East African coastal properties recognised at that level. The resort occupies Ras Kitau Bay, where the Indian Ocean's Swahili Coast tradition shapes both the architecture and the pace of stay. Reaching it requires a short boat transfer from Lamu town, which filters the guest list from the start.
