The Majlis Resort on Lamu Island has stylish rooms set in extensive grounds that make the place feel uncrowded. What fascinated me most was the large collection of art and artefacts.

Majlis was the Lamu home of Italian Nanni Moccia. In 2008, the property was expanded with two more villas to accommodate visitors. It was opened as a hotel in 2009.
